61 Best & Fun Things To Do Las Vegas (Nevada)
"Travel back in time with the Titanic exhibition and view real-life artifacts found with the infamous ocean liner 2.5 miles below the surface. This 25,000 square foot exhibit includes items from the wreck such as luggage and even an unopened bottle of champagne from 1900!. You will be able to walk through expertly re-created 1st and 3rd-class staterooms that feature furnishings by the original manufacturers."
"Everyone has heard of the Titanic and probably even seen the famous motion picture that tells the tragic story, but this museum offers something completely new and unique. This exhibit is one of the highest attended exhibitions in history. You can see over 250 authentic artifacts recovered from the wreck."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 something incredibly fascinating about these macabre exhibits. What is on display is the preserved remain of actual people partially dissected to reveal the inner working of the Human body. To stand face to face with a once-living breathing human being is quite disturbing but ultimately the Exhibit is seriously fascinating."
"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."
"The Luxor’s illuminating exhibit has been experienced by more than 15 million people. Bodies: The Exhibition showcases 13 real human bodies that have been carefully preserved so you can peek under your skin for a rare three-dimensional view of the human body. Learn more about Bodies: The Exhibition."
"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 post shared by 𝒜𝒾𝒹𝑒𝓃 𝒫𝒽𝓊𝓃𝑔 (@aidens.foody.account) on Jun 8, 2019 at 1:16pm PDT. Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant, as the name implies, is a great place to find a fusion of some of Asia’s best dishes. This restaurant is ideal for big groups and is perfect for family reunions."
"Stepping foot into Park on Fremont feels a little wild, which is in part due to the vivid displays of taxidermied animals in their cases, the rustic wooden walls and indoor gardens that hang from the ceilings and weave themselves around the dining rooms, and the crazy patterned wallpaper in the restaurant. But this one-of-a-kind, unique place is more than just an endless conversation piece; Park on Fremont also offers some fantastic food on its menu. Breakfast and brunch, as well as the masterfully made cocktails that often come with it, make just as much of a statement as the place itself."
"While you’re exploring the bright lights and shops of the Fremont Street Experience, consider stopping by this vibrant outdoor space for some peace and quiet. Its white picket fence, flower plots, tall plants, and mix of eclectic chairs lend to the backyard-like ambiance and laid-back mood. The menu here is also casual, with brunch specials filled with frittatas and homestyle bacon-and-egg breakfasts, as well as sandwiches and craft burgers for lunch and dinner."
"Located in downtown, Park on Fremont is a gastro-pub featuring creative American bar cuisine plus brunch on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While there is indoor seating in a warm and eclectic setting, diners may prefer to sit on the outdoor patio. Here, it is a beautiful vintage garden environment with antique tables, mosaics, and flowers."
