"Your little history buffs are in for a treat when you visit the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel. This fully-immersive exhibit starts out by assigning you with the identity of one of the Titanic passengers. You can read about your person’s history and when they were sailing aboard this massive ship."
"It’s been years since I last visited the Titanic exhibit, but the haunting sights have stayed with me. The exhibit transports guests to a lost world of glamour and tragedy. The artifacts are incredible, and you’ll feel both awe and empathy as you learn about the doomed ship.” –C."
"Perhaps one of the longest-standing cultural entities in Southern Nevada is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, which has existed in one form or another for more than five decades. Located in the heart of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas main campus, this spot isn’t only educational—it’s also the state’s most important collection house, complete with works formerly found in the Las Vegas Art Museum and the Nevadan portion of the 50×50 Collection from Dorothy and Herbert Vogel. Featuring a mix of contemporary and historic pieces—including artifacts dating back 1,000 years—the museum also offers space to show experimental art and rotating exhibitions."
"Vegas might have a lot of flashy art installations, but it’s not exactly a town known for its art museums. Marjorie Barrick is a venue trying to change that. This art museum is 100 percent free to enter and is geared towards the more educational elements of the Vegas art scene."
"This place is in the Luxor Hotel & Casino, it exhibits 13 preserved human bodies and more than 250 organs for an educational purpose. Here, if your kids are not squeamish, they can see how our muscles intricate and our organs in addition to getting educated a little bit about what happens if we neglect of our bodies. Bodies is one of the best kids attractions in Las Vegas."
"For a truly unique look into the complexities of the human body, stop by the BODIES exhibit. Thirteen preserved human bodies have been carefully shaped to display every facet of the human body, including circulatory and nervous systems. It’s geared towards people without scientific backgrounds without being too scientific."
"It’s one thing trying to keep your eyes open while reading from a boring biology book. It’s another thing seeing the biology makeup of actual bodies at REAL BODIES at Bally’s Las Vegas. Here you’ll get the science lesson you didn’t get in the classroom."
"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."
"A fresh slice of Vegas camp for grown-ups, this stately 1938 mansion on South Las Vegas Boulevard has been turned into a house of horrors by the star of the Travel Channel’s hit series Ghost Adventures. Zak Bagan has put together a veritable “Mecca of macabre” in a home with a creepy, chequered past, where dark rituals were thought to have been held in the basement. You’ll tiptoe down winding hallways and through dark passages to more than thirty rooms, all decorated like something from a horror film and holding objects that conjure fascination and no little fear."
"If you’re ready for a good scare, explore The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, as seen on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures.

This the go-to destination for paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters wanting to see pieces from the “Demon House,” Dr. Kevorkian’s death van, and even the Dybbuk Box."
"If you’re ready to face your fears, enter this historic 1938 haunted mansion in downtown Las Vegas and expect the unexpected. It’s part museum and part horror thrills, all collected by the producer of the show Ghost Adventures. For instance, a guided tour takes you through 30 themed Hollywood horror rooms that are chock full of props and artifacts from real life murders and paranormal events."
"This staple of Boulder City has been serving for more than 30 years. Pit Stop dishes up comforting classics such as burgers, sandwiches and fish and chips, all for a reasonable price.

"If your kids love video games but you aren’t staying on strip, check out GameWorks in Town Square. This esports arena features bowling lanes, pool tables and live sports on television. Gondola rides at Venetian in Vegas"
"Moving out of the Downtown area and even off the Strip, you can find opulence in hotel bathrooms at the M, including tubs with a view of the Vegas night lights. The M is a bit of an anomaly in Vegas. It’s a casino for locals that nevertheless has a decidedly top-end Strip quality to its gaming floor, its restaurants, and its bathrooms."
"With over 100 television screens that show the chefs preparing your food along with other Food Network programs, this entertainment is sure to get your appetite going. More than 200 dishes are prepared fresh each day. Binge on wood-fired pizza, build your own nachos, and taste the famous Las Vegas prime rib dish."

"Eat isn’t just a notable breakfast joint; it’s considered one of the best restaurants in Downtown Las Vegas (don’t worry that you’ll have to leave the Strip: there’s loads to do down here). The casual space gets tons of sunlight (a rarity for a restaurant in Vegas), with an eclectic menu that focuses on elevated comfort food prepared with sustainable and organic ingredients. The innovative dishes by Natalie Young are on par with any Top Chef contestant (think thoughtful dishes like cinnamon biscuits, huevos motulenos, truffled egg sandwich with wild mushrooms and bacon) at reasonable, off-the-strip prices."
"Eat is a Las Vegas staple that has mastered the art of comfort food. A breakfast and lunch joint that is open daily from 8am to 3pm on weekdays and 8am until 2pm on weekends, Eat serves traditional American classics with an elegant twist from the French culinary trained chef. Their menu, which features items like a truffled egg sandwich, shrimp and grits, and cinnamon biscuits with a strawberry compote, is delectable."
"Opened in 2012 and located in downtown, Eat is a delicious breakfast and lunch venue owned and operated by the accomplished chef, Natalie Young. In the vibrant interior, diners can savor American comfort fare with a twist. The meals are made with the best locally sourced ingredients when available."
