"A museum exhibiting the paranormal is about as Vegas as it gets. The stuff you’ll see here — which supposedly chronicles “scientifically proven” ways to communicate with the dead — is both somewhat scary and entirely weird. Check the VW van where Dr. Jack Kevorkian did his work ending the lives of patients with terminal diseases, and then meander past the wine cabinet from the movie The Possession over to the staircase from the former Demon House in Gary, Indiana, where a family was reportedly possessed by demons in 2011."

Visitors may recognize Bagans' name from the show "Ghost Adventures," where he investigates paranormal activity."

"While not every item on the menu is vegan or vegetarian, this place is known for delicious vegetarian dining in Las Vegas. Komol features one of the largest selections of Thai vegan and vegetarian dishes in the city. From dairy-free desserts to veggie spring rolls, these dishes are passed down from generation to generation and the flavors have been maintained over time."

Feel the three-dimensional screw art of Efi Mashiah and the metal mesh art of Ofer Rubin leap off of the canvas. Appreciate every grain of detail in John Stebila’s wood carvings or give your home a splash of pop culture color via the Buma Project."
