61 Best & Fun Things To Do Las Vegas (Nevada)
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Perhaps one of the longest-standing cultural entities in Southern Nevada is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, which has existed in one form or another for more than five decades. Located in the heart of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas main campus, this spot isn’t only educational—it’s also the state’s most important collection house, complete with works formerly found in the Las Vegas Art Museum and the Nevadan portion of the 50×50 Collection from Dorothy and Herbert Vogel. Featuring a mix of contemporary and historic pieces—including artifacts dating back 1,000 years—the museum also offers space to show experimental art and rotating exhibitions."
"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."
"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."

"This tea shop advertises as a "Hooters, but for boba tea," with female servers wearing lingerie throughout the establishment. The potted milk tea, ice rose milk tea, and hot Thai tea with boba are among the most requested items."
"Milk Bar is the highly acclaimed bakery founded by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi. Milk Bar puts a playful spin on familiar homestyle desserts and savory snacks using quality ingredients and locally sourced dairy."
"Only open Fridays and Saturdays, Sugar Bees bakes up some of the best sweets in town. Order their beloved double chocolate chunk cookie or any macaroon and you won’t be disappointed."
"Carlo’s Bakery has been making lobster tails, a pastry shaped like a lobster tail and stuffed with French cream and whipped cream, for over 100 years!. Tucked in the Venetian, these beautifully crafted pastries emulate the Italian sfogliatelle pastry. The sfogliatelle dough is definitely something you couldn’t replicate at home unless you are a baker extraordinaire."
"Carlo’s Bake Shop serves cannoli, cheesecakes, cookies, eclairs, strawberry shortcakes, croissants, donuts, cannoli cakes, chocolate mousse cakes, 7-layer cookies, cupcakes, and a lot more… Depending on when you arrive, there may be a line. Also, there is no available seating."
"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 is an informal dining Japanese restaurant and bar. Their dishes are created by Chef Nakano Hiromi, a former head chef at the greatly acclaimed NOBU at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. The meaning of ‘Sen’ in Japanese is fresh, they presume that the quality of each dish lies in the source of ingredients ‘To be fresh’."
"If you watch sports, the last thing you want to see is a huge tab at the end of a game. You can remedy that with the large portions at TAP Vegas and with the game day specials on beer and appetizers. If you aren't that hungry, split the Captan's Burger with a couple of people."
"But the lush 5,500-square-foot patio of this excellent seafood eatery, which sits a few floors up at the Aria Hotel, is a must-visit regardless. Chow down on delectable fish dishes like tuna poke with nori chips and buffalo octopus while listening to DJs spin top-notch tunes. As things calm down, you’ll feel a world away from Las Vegas."
"If you’re craving seafood, check out Herringbone at ARIA, the authentic Southern California dining in the heart of the Vegas Strip. Drop in to dine or simply to have a cocktail or two in its stunning and lush 5,500-square foot rooftop patio while indulging in outstanding seafood and listening to DJs’ choices of popular tunes."
