23 Best Museums in Las Vegas (Cool, Fun & Weird
"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."
"Also located at the Luxor, this exhibition features a collection of artefacts salvaged from the famous ship’s wreckage. Walk through recreations of first- and third-class rooms, or even have your picture taken on a recreation of the Grand Staircase and Promenade Deck. Get more information about Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition"

"Once a natural history museum, the Barrick Museum on the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus has changed its focus to art in an attempt to fill the void left when the Las Vegas Art Museum closed its doors in early 2009. The small staff at Barrick mounts rotating exhibits for the community while raising funds to become a full time art institution. Shows have ranged from contemporary paintings and sculpture to a photography exhibit of legendary photographer Ansel Adams's black-and-white works of American landscapes and architecture, which spans five decades."
"This is one of the most famous museums in the city which took over from Las Vegas Art Museum. It is located in the University of Nevada’s compound and strives to maintain both the natural history and display contemporary art. It is not very well established but still holds rotating exhibitions, inviting art pieces for the community."
"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 fresh slice of Vegas camp for grown-ups, this stately 1938 mansion on South Las Vegas Boulevard has been turned into a house of horrors by the star of the Travel Channel’s hit series Ghost Adventures. Zak Bagan has put together a veritable “Mecca of macabre” in a home with a creepy, chequered past, where dark rituals were thought to have been held in the basement. You’ll tiptoe down winding hallways and through dark passages to more than thirty rooms, all decorated like something from a horror film and holding objects that conjure fascination and no little fear."
"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."
"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."
"Bodies – The Exhibition is better than any science or anatomy class you’ve ever taken. It features a collection of well-preserved human bodies and body parts. You’ll have the chance to see real bodies preserved with their inner organs thanks to a long process of removing tissue and water and placed in a silicone bath before being vacuum sealed."
"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."
"It’s one thing trying to keep your eyes open while reading from a boring biology book. It’s another thing seeing the biology makeup of actual bodies at REAL BODIES at Bally’s Las Vegas. Here you’ll get the science lesson you didn’t get in the classroom."
"This one features the latest and greatest in video games, as well as some of the classics. Children and adults alike can indulge in over 10,000 square feet of arcade play, and of course, win tickets to exchange for prizes, the most classic of arcade fun."
"If your kids love video games but you aren’t staying on strip, check out GameWorks in Town Square. This esports arena features bowling lanes, pool tables and live sports on television. Gondola rides at Venetian in Vegas"
"One of the most amazing sushi experiences in Chinatown starts here at Yui Edomae. The edomae, which refers to the many delicacies caught in Tokyo Bay, sushi restaurant from Gen Mizoguchi features sophisticated, high-end sushi highlighting fresh fish flown in from Japan served in a basic setting. For reservations, call 702-202-2408."
"3460 Arville StreetThe minimalism of the dining room is designed to match the simplicity of the food, but don't be fooled. A meal at Yui Edomae Sushi is definitely an elevated experience for a special occasion. Just look at the bill if you're still not sure."
"This local favorite is home to the highly Instagrammable sushi burgers you might have seen all over social media. With excellent prices and unique offerings (they also have a sushi tower and sushi pizza), you'll still have plenty of cash left over for the casino. Jjanga offers dine-in, take-out, and delivery options."
"Situated on the west promenade of the pool complex, the West Pool Bar offers poolside bar and lounge seating and an elevated beverage program."
"While this high-limit lounge seems to only feature gaming, cocktail connoisseurs would be remiss to skip out on the American, Canadian, Irish, and Scotch whiskies as well as specialty cocktails and bourbon available only at the MGM Grand."
