"Open just a few years, Lovelady is a relative newcomer to the Vegas brew scene, but already making a big, sudsy splash. Built from the ground up in Downtown Henderson, the company was founded by four brothers (and yes, their last name is Lovelady), who got their start experimenting with at-home brewing back in their high school days. It made them popular at parties, and the love for producing beer was hard to shake."
"This brewery in downtown Henderson offer patrons 12 different craft beers to choose from, including a Kettle Sour Ale choice along with more common selections like porters and IPAs. Patrons can sample beer with beer flights at $2 a glass, and each beer is labeled in chalk along the bottom of the flight. Online ordering available."

"It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 1950–51, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America. In addition to hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, the museum boasts a series of multimedia exhibits featuring interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos."
"Fascinating multimedia exhibits focus on science, technology and the social history of the 'Atomic Age,' which lasted from WWII until atmospheric bomb testing was driven underground in 1961 and a worldwide ban on nuclear testing was declared in 1992. View footage of atomic testing and examine southern Nevada's nuclear past, present and future, from Native American ways of life to the environmental legacy of atomic testing. Don't miss the ticket booth (how could you?); it's a Nevada Test Site guard-station replica."
