Free Museums in Mount Charleston

"The Luxor Although promoted as a casino attraction, "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" certainly qualifies as a museum with its deep collection of relics recovered from the doomed ocean liner. Some of the materials stored in leather luggage are in pristine condition, but what really sets this exhibit apart from similar collections is "the big piece" -- a chunk of the ship's wall that is the largest ever recovered. Along the way, you'll also experience recreations of the outdoor deck and the elegant staircase made famous in, you know, that movie."

"Found in downtown Las Vegas, Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum is sure to send a chill down your spine as you enter into the realm of the spirit world. This spooky museum explores the paranormal and leads you down creepy winding hallways and secret passageways that connect 30 rooms within the 11,000 square foot property. Amongst the spine-chilling displays, there are many horror movie props, the most notable of which is the staircase from the Gary, Indiana “Demon House.” There are also hundreds of terrifying possessions and real-life objects that are sure to make you squirm, such as the “Propofol chair” from Michael Jackson’s death room."

"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."

"Fans of haunted houses, ghosts and other spooky things will find a large collection of paranormal items at Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum. Located in a house that's allegedly haunted, the museum is packed with artifacts carrying seriously scary histories. Visitors may recognize Bagans' name from the show "Ghost Adventures," where he investigates paranormal activity."

"Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, (702) 590-8650 andaria.mgmresorts.com. I can’t say that I’ve had a lot of Taiwanese vs. Cantonese dim sum in my life, and I’d never heard of Din Tai Fung even though there are more than 150 global locations, the vast majority of them in Asia. Din Tai Fung opened in Aria, in the former café, in October, and the extraordinary dinner was fit for royalty:"

"Known throughout the West Coast for its amazing xiao long bao (soup dumplings), Din Tai Fung made its Las Vegas debut in late 2020 at the Aria Resort and Casino. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Asian restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. The restaurant is the perfect blend of homestyle Chinese food and an upscale setting."

"The Din Tai Fung dining experience arrived at ARIA Resort & Casino in 2020. The highly regarded Taiwanese dumpling and noodle house is known around the world for its xiao long bao (steamed soup dumplings). The menu will include handcrafted Shanghai-style noodles and dumplings filled with Kurobuta pork and other treats."

"Every child loves watching the trains pass by, especially the large freight trains. The Nevada State Railroad Museum, found in Carson City, tells the history of the Nevada railroad system through locomotives, artifacts, photographs, and other exhibitions."

"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."

"Also located in Chinatown, Tea space is a cat-lover's dream. The decor of this boba shop is filled with cute cat pictures and paintings, but does not have any live cats in the store. The boba is made fresh and has a good texture and they are starting to incorporate food, such as dumplings and hot pot, to the menu as well."

"Something we really enjoy about this Tea Space is that they strive to bring premium tea culture to the world. The idea of premium tea culture even to this day isn’t as greatly celebrated as something like coffee is. So that’s what Tea Space is here to do, it perfectly aligns with the idea of Talk Boba as well."

"In-N-Out is a burger place that hasn't strayed far from its roots as a basic drive-thru hamburger restaurant. The succinct menu is all about the burgers--you won't find chicken sandwiches or salads at In-N-Out. You also won't see the "secret" menu that In-N-Out devotees find so exciting: options like "protein style," with the patty wrapped in lettuce, or the most popular choice, "animal style," with pickles, extra spread, and grilled onions."

"Since In-N-Out only has locations in 5 states, there’s a very good chance that you haven’t tried it yet. Your visit to Vegas would be the perfect opportunity to give it a try, too, because it has a location in the very heart of Sin City, right on the Las Vegas Strip. It also helps that it’s practically the cheapest place to grab a bite on the Strip!"

"The final spot on my list of 14 of the best cheap eats in Las Vegas goes to In-N-Out Burger. Sure this is a fast food chain, but how could I leave it out. While you can find locations across the Las Vegas Valley, my favorite In-N-Out Burger location in Las Vegas is at The LINQ Promenade."
