"Sail back in time, as you go through a 17-display attractive exhibition hall brimming with curios and diversions of the Titanic. Guided via prepared performers in period dress, jump profound into 100 years of history, from the shores of England to the profundities of the Atlantic. Located into a 20,000-square-foot, this museum contains shows, ancient pieces, and full ranges of reproductions of the ship areas like the Grand Staircase, a First Class Cabin, the Verandah Cafe, and the boilers."
"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel showcases hundreds of artifacts and realistic replicas from the RMS Titanic along with personal tales and belongings from the passengers of the ship. Visitors will see a massive 15-ton piece of the ship’s hull, amazing replicas of the ship’s Grand Staircase, the promenade deck and passenger cabins. Visitors will also see many items from the ship, its passengers and crew, like plates, jewelry, whistles, currency, luggage, etc."
"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."
"Nevada has a fascinating history and the Nevada State Museum tries to cover it all in the 20,000 square feet of exhibit space. Learn all about the giant sea that once covered the entire region and all the prehistoric animals and plants you could find there. Follow the major historic events like the building of the Hoover Dam and the atomic testing that happened in the area."
"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."
"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."
"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 showcases this tempting form of dance as a visual art with an important historical legacy and highlights the stars of its past. It is part of the city’s rapidly growing downtown arts district, making it walkable from downtown and parts of Las Vegas Blvd. The exhibits are comprised of burlesque outfits and props from the 1960s to today, along with a trail of media articles and photos documenting the rise of burlesque in America’s nightlife culture."
"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."

"Drinks are served in jars and coffee in cups that resemble flower pots!. Had brunch and sat as soon as we walked in."
"I had been wanting to try this place, someone told me it was better than winchelles. I finally got the chance to order for some guest I had over, I order..."
"Head downtown for some of the best doughnuts in Vegas, at O Face, home to fun O-shaped options like Cherry Coke Float and Captain Crunch with milk crème filling. If you’re looking for the ultimate indulgence, grab an extra napkin and dig into the gooey Mexican Chocolate. The dough is fried to perfection, smothered with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, and topped with little balls of chocolate."
"Sure, you can order regular doughnuts at Glaze, but instead go fancy with an apple fritter, green tea glaze with toasted pistachios, maple with bacon or one with M&M toppings. The red velvet with cream cheese is divine."
"I live so close to this place but never knew about this place. It took an Elite Yelp event to bring me here and I am so glad I was a part of that!"
