The 9 Best Offbeat Museums to Visit in Las Vegas
"One of the best things to do when on a vacation to Vegas is to check out some of the many cool museums in the area. The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History is completely free and will help children learn more about native Southwestern American Indian tribes, ancient Mexico and much more local history. Admission to the museum, which opens at 9 AM on weekdays and noon on Saturdays, is perfect for kids curious about the world around them."
"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."
"This is one of the most famous museums in the city which took over from Las Vegas Art Museum. It is located in the University of Nevada’s compound and strives to maintain both the natural history and display contemporary art. It is not very well established but still holds rotating exhibitions, inviting art pieces for the community."
"Located beside the Linq Theatre on the famous Las Vegas Strip, the Museum of Selfies is an immersive, must-visit attraction with interactive exhibits where you can let your creativity run wild and nab the ultimate selfie in the amazing and colorful rooms. Whether you’re looking to see the world upside down or have always dreamed of relaxing in a gold bath, chilling in the emoji pool, or melt your brain in the optical illusion bathroom, the Museum of Selfies offers many creative spaces for those looking for some unique and fun holiday snaps, making it one of the best museums in Las Vegas for memories!"
"Just because a person chooses a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle doesn't mean they want to give up all their favorite Mexican foods—tacos, tortas, tostadas, enchiladas, burritos, sopes, quesadillas, and so on. At Pancho's Vegan Tacos, you can still enjoy all of your favorite Mexican dishes, all completely vegan, made with proteins like wheat-based asada, al pastor, and chorizo, and carnitas made from jackfruit."
"Sometimes it can be a challenge to find authentic Mexican food when on a vegan diet, but Pancho’s Vegan Taco puts an end to that. Pancho’s Vegan Taco is known for its authentic Mexican food that tastes like it came straight from Mexico itself. The small and casual dining spot lets you indulge in all your Mexican favorites – from sopa to tacos – in a delicious, vegan style."
"Pancho’s Vegan Tacos offers three locations including two in Las Vegas and one in Henderson. The mission here is pretty simple: tasty Mexican cuisine made vegan. Diners can choose from a variety of vegan proteins including nopales (cactus), vegan chicken, al pastor, asada, and more."
"Hussong’s Cantina is located inside of the Shoppes at Mandalay Place and is tucked back off the beaten path. But their fish tacos are definitely a reason for you to go hunting for them. The amount of flavor that they are able to stuff into those little corn tortillas will have you reaching for the next one while you’re still chewing the last bite."
"This Mexican-style restaurant also located in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place boasts a vegan menu. We recommend starting with some guacamole and one of Hussong’s signature margaritas. Follow it up with any of the delicious entrée options, including classics like chile relleno, enchiladas, and vegan fish tacos."
"This is the hottest new attraction in Las Vegas that’s a mix of art, shopping, and food. It’s free to enter (though it requires tickets to control capacity) and there are plenty of murals and free art installations to browse. If you want to see certain exhibits, you can purchase tickets separately or as a bundle on the AREA15 site."
"This Arts District brewery gets its name from the first two nuclear bombs dropped in the Nevada desert. The decor reflects the theme, paying tribute to the state’s role in the Atomic Age. Yet the place is much more than a gimmick."
"While there aren’t a ton of vegan options at Hofbrauhaus, the experience alone is worth the trip there. Being a traditional German/Bavarian beer hall, you can expect the beers to be as large as the portions and that rings true here. The vegan schnitzel is one of the better dishes on their vegan menu but they also have vegan frankfurters smothered in a curry sauce."
"Hofbrauhaus is a German restaurant that goes beyond your standard theme restaurant and delivers an entirely immersive experience. First, the communal dining environment means you better come prepared to make some new friends because the person sitting next to you at Hofbrauhaus is your new bestie."
