Best History Museum in Clark County

"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."

"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."

"If you’ve never seen a piece of the mysterious Titanic up close, then you’ll want to hit up this top museum in Las Vegas. The Titanic exhibition displays several authentic artifacts recovered from the sunken Titanic ocean liner. Chef hats, wrenches, fine china, and chandeliers are just a few of the over 250 artifacts on display."

"The Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas is situated at the Springs Preserve, in Las Vegas. Nevada is one of 7 Nevada State Museums worked by the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. The name was transformed from the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society in 2008 when the gallery moved from Lorenzi Park in Las Vegas to the Springs Preserve campus."

"To begin with, it was set up on a deserted farm in California and then after some time, the Las Vegas art museum was moved to another place. The Burlesque Hall of Fame appears to have discovered its perfect home in Art Square. The permanent exhibit “Spectacular, Erotic and Slightly Shocking: A Timeline of Burlesque in the United States” takes a historical perspective of the titillating universe of vaudeville, from its initial days in the mid-1900s to the recovery years of the 1990s through today."

"The Burlesque Hall of Fame is the planet’s only museum thatsolely aims to preserve the legacy of burlesque. The collection houses thousands of costumes, props, photos, and other personal effects that document the colorful lives and careers of many burlesque dancers, producers, and comics. The museum’s collection spans from the late 1800s to today and shows the impact that the art form has had on society."

"This is the only museum in the world dedicated to the art of Burlesque. There are thousands of different photographs, props, and costumes to see. Learn about famous burlesque performers in different rotating exhibits or check out their permanent exhibits that cover the timelines and history of this art form."

"It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 1950–51, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America. In addition to hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, the museum boasts a series of multimedia exhibits featuring interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos."

"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."

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants The Strip. Mario Carbone’s shrine to Italian-American cooking may have debuted in New York, but its spiritual home is Las Vegas, where glamorous, over-the-top dining experiences have been par for the course since the wine goddesses started pouring at Caesars Palace. Here, it’s all about returning to the days when the Rat Pack ruled the Strip, people dressed up for dinner and seasoned waiters whipped up Caesar salads and bananas flambé table-side."

"If you’re looking for all-out modern Italian luxury, Carbone at ARIA Resort & Casino is your pick. Here you’ll find elevated classics like Lobster Fra Diavolo, Veal Parmesan, and Octopus Pizzaiolo. Their relatively brief, pared-down menu will make it easy for you to find something delightful and exciting."

"The concept behind Carbone is one that’s influenced by the Italian restaurants of the mid 20th century. Classic dishes are reinvigorated with modern culinary techniques. What you end up with is a menu full of beautiful, artistically created Italian dishes."

"This sweet and dessert shop in Las Vegas is well known for its unique collection of cakes topped with ice creams and served with espresso and drinks. You can even try the Nutella mousse and chocolate cake or the honey toast stuffed with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk topped with strawberries."

"When looking for cheap places to eat, look no further than Benihana. Benihana might be a chain, but that does not mean that they are not also a festive and fun place to eat Japanes..."

"If you're looking for something dependable that has lots of options, then check out Benihana. This Japanese steakhouse and sushi restaurant is on the Strip, in the Westgate Hotel, ..."

"Some of the city’s best sushi chefs have come through the Nobu kitchen and Nakano Hiromi, who helms this westside favorite, is no exception. Along with a full menu of cooked items and 24 special maki rolls, he serves beautifully modern sushi and sashimi, pairing raw fish with a wide variety of ingredients and flavors. Think: sea bream with finger lime, shiso, white balsamic and truffle oil or salmon with onion, capers, bonito flakes and spicy ponzu sauce."

"Winning rave reviews from diners and critics, Sen of Japan is a local favorite that visitors are starting to discover. The finely prepared food is served in tasteful but comfortable surroundings, and its off-the-Strip location helps keep the prices reasonable, although not cheap. The former head chef at Nobu at the Hard Rock opened Sen of Japan, and his expertise is obvious in the delicious food."

"Sen of Japan offers pristine sushi the former head chef of Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel Hiromi Nakano. Do try the $60 or $90 omakase menus with six- and seven-course chef’s picks. View the takeout menu online, available from 5 to 11 p.m."
