"Dive deep into the triumph and tragedy of the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition within the Luxor. This massive 25,000SF exhibit features dozens of items recovered from the ship’s wreckage including luggage, a piece of the hull, and the ship’s whistles. No need to imagine how lavish this ship was; full-scale recreations of the Grand Staircase, first-class and third-class rooms, and the Promenade Deck help you envision the grandeur of this “practically unsinkable” ship."
"The Titanic Exhibition at Luxor allows an unprecedented opportunity for families to travel back in time and experience what life was like during the Titanic’s only voyage. More than 25 million people have visited this awe-inspiring exhibition."
"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."
"Hands down, our favorite museum is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, on the campus of University of Nevada Las Vegas. It hosts art from local as well as national artists. The shows are always well-curated, and filled with interesting people.” –Tim Shaffer and Kate Aldrich, owners of Patina Decor"
"The Marjorie Barrick Museum offers opportunities to learn about the native cultures of the southwest United States and Mesoamerica. The exhibit hall also features a 2,500-square-foot temporary exhibit area which hosts international, national and region...[Learn more]"
"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."
"Here, you can encounter the spine-chilling vibe of the other world which was already shown in the Ghost Adventures series. Definitely, it is valid as a notable downtown Las Vegas chateau which is transformed by the reality show star and creator Zak into a world-renowned hub of the horrifying – spooky exhibition hall. In 1938, a famous businessman called Cyril S. Wengert owned this historical center which was situated close to South Las Vegas Boulevard."
"You don’t have to wait for Halloween to scare yourself silly. The Haunted Museum offers thrills and chills all year long, so if you’re looking for ways to get the adrenaline pumping in Las Vegas, this is the best place to visit. Winding hallways lead to dark rooms and creaking staircases."
"Zak lives in Las Vegas, and he built it over the years, steadily collecting items to thrill both his hometown ghost-chasers and tourists alike. When he took me on the tour, he was so proud and excited. This is his baby, and it shows."
"There is no need to go inside as they don't run any actual free shows, but we will find plenty of free Las Vegas shows outside the hotel (unless you want to take a close look at the replica of Le Pont Alexandre III from Paris located inside the hotel. The hotel's main attraction - Eiffel Tower - is hard to miss. It's free to explore it from the outside, however, if you want to ride the elevator and check out the Strip from top of the Tower - it will cost you $7.50 to $22.00."
"Located on the Strip, Paris Las Vegas is one of the most easily recognized resorts in the city. Out front is a scale model of the Eiffel Tower, and down the way is a recreation of the Paris Opera House. Forty-six stories above the city streets, the Eiffel Tower Experience is an observation deck with incredible 360-degree views."
"Stroll the cobblestone streets of Paris at Le Boulevard mall inside the Paris Hotel and Casino (see map above). Parisian culture and charm is found throughout the Paris Casino and Le Boulevard shopping center is no exception. The mall is a gallery of charming retail stores, boutiques, cafes and restaurants."
"Binoculars, fanny packs and Hawaiian shirts are optional but we’re more about getting into some of the free attractions sprinkled across the LVB (that’s Las Vegas Boulevard for all of you not in the know). Let’s start with some casino hopping. Amidst the singing slot machines and the bustling gaming tables, from the carpets to the decor, every hotel holds true to a unique theme. One minute you’ll find yourself in the chic and tech-y lobby of The Cosmopolitan and the next you’ll be among the Egyptian ruins of The Luxor."
"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.
