Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Mount Charleston

"Once a natural history museum, the Barrick Museum on the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus has changed its focus to art in an attempt to fill the void left when the Las Vegas Art Museum closed its doors in early 2009. The small staff at Barrick mounts rotating exhibits for the community while raising funds to become a full time art institution. Shows have ranged from contemporary paintings and sculpture to a photography exhibit of legendary photographer Ansel Adams's black-and-white works of American landscapes and architecture, which spans five decades."

"Located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Barrick Museum features rotating exhibitions of everything from contemporary paintings to glass work to Ansel Adams' legendary collection of photography. Its well-curated collections and fun, hip vibe make it the perfect place to escape to for an hour or two. Admission is also free—perfect if you've been dealt a losing hand on the Strip."

"The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the UNLV campus and is part of their College of Fine Arts. The admission is free, so it’s a great way to spend an afternoon if you need a break from the casinos. The beautiful, open space has benches and a very relaxing atmosphere to sit down and stare at the art."

"In-N-Out Burger has a cult following of devotees obsessed with the chain’s perfectly grilled burgers and oh-so-satisfying fries. These fans will be happy to know that the family-owned company has five locations in Las Vegas, and that they’re all open until at least 1:00 a.m. The simple, unchanging menu offers the aforementioned burgers and fries, as well as grilled cheese and shakes made from real ice cream."

"Since In-N-Out only has locations in 5 states, there’s a very good chance that you haven’t tried it yet.

It also helps that it’s practically the cheapest place to grab a bite on the Strip!"

"Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, (702) 590-8650 andaria.mgmresorts.com. I can’t say that I’ve had a lot of Taiwanese vs. Cantonese dim sum in my life, and I’d never heard of Din Tai Fung even though there are more than 150 global locations, the vast majority of them in Asia. Din Tai Fung opened in Aria, in the former café, in October, and the extraordinary dinner was fit for royalty:"

"Known throughout the West Coast for its amazing xiao long bao (soup dumplings), Din Tai Fung made its Las Vegas debut in late 2020 at the Aria Resort and Casino. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Asian restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. The restaurant is the perfect blend of homestyle Chinese food and an upscale setting."
