"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."
"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."
"We have never really worked out why there is a Titanic Exhibit in an Egyptian-themed hotel in Las Vegas Nevada, none of that really makes ANY sense, But hey this is Vegas, does it have to make sense?. We are keeping this in the museum section despite the fact it’s named “exhibit” as it just feels more Museum-like to us. So, Despite not making sense, the Exhibit is quite fascinating."
"Trace Nevada's history back millions of years at the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas. Just a few miles from downtown Las Vegas, the Nevada State Museum is part of Springs Preserve, a 180-acre (70-hectare) complex home to trails, bike paths, archaeological sites, and desert wildlife. The museum features exhibits about Nevada’s cultural history, natural history, and geology, including the state fossil (a complete ichthyosaur) and displays about the Hoover Dam and American Indians."
"Located at Springs Preserve, the Nevada State Museum works to advance the understanding of the history, pre-history, and natural history of Nevada. With everything from Nevada’s state fossil to historic Las Vegas glitz and glamour. Traveling exhibits ensure that each trip to the Nevada State Museum is a new experience for visitors new and old."
"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."
"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."
"Ronald’s Donuts have dedicated the top two shelves of donuts to their vegan patrons but keep it discreet so there’s never any vegan shaming on the premise. With an old school bakery interior design, this forty-year-old donut shot doesn’t leave out the classic treats such as the old-fashioned donut or bear claw. We imagine this is what heaven will taste like and is no surprise they have patrons who return frequently since their early years of existence."
"This stalwart of the doughnut world goes old school with choices such as maple bars, glazed, custard filled, jelly, cinnamon twists, cinnamon rolls and apple fritters. Nab a bag of doughnut holes as well. Be sure to ask which varieties are vegan if that suits your diet."
"There’s nothing about Ronald’s that lets you know they have vegan options, but the entire top two rows of donuts are all vegan. They have all of the classics too- glazed, creme-filled, apple fritters, and more. You can also pick up a dozen donut holes for just a dollar!"
"The east side’s Donut Hut has been around since 1980 and fans there lovingly refer to owner So-Tee Seung as the Cambodian Rambo. The place specializes in classic doughnuts, but do order the blueberry doughnuts and anything with a cream cheese frosting. While only open in the morning, doughnut fans might be able to snag something later at night."
"Donut Hut has been open for more than 40 years on the east side of Las Vegas. The owner is So Tee Seung, nicknamed by Donut Hut’s loyal customers as the Cambodian Rambo. Donut Hut is known for its classic donuts, which are always flaky, fresh, and fall apart in the mouth."
