The Best Museums in Las Vegas | Let's Roam
"Travel back in time with the Titanic exhibition and view real-life artifacts found with the infamous ocean liner 2.5 miles below the surface. This 25,000 square foot exhibit includes items from the wreck such as luggage and even an unopened bottle of champagne from 1900!. You will be able to walk through expertly re-created 1st and 3rd-class staterooms that feature furnishings by the original manufacturers."
"Everyone has heard of the Titanic and probably even seen the famous motion picture that tells the tragic story, but this museum offers something completely new and unique. This exhibit is one of the highest attended exhibitions in history. You can see over 250 authentic artifacts recovered from the wreck."
"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."
"Located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Barrick Museum features rotating exhibitions of everything from contemporary paintings to glass work to Ansel Adams' legendary collection of photography. Its well-curated collections and fun, hip vibe make it the perfect place to escape to for an hour or two. Admission is also free—perfect if you've been dealt a losing hand on the Strip."
"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."
"If you’re ready to face your fears, enter this historic 1938 haunted mansion in downtown Las Vegas and expect the unexpected. It’s part museum and part horror thrills, all collected by the producer of the show Ghost Adventures. For instance, a guided tour takes you through 30 themed Hollywood horror rooms that are chock full of props and artifacts from real life murders and paranormal events."
"Zak lives in Las Vegas, and he built it over the years, steadily collecting items to thrill both his hometown ghost-chasers and tourists alike. When he took me on the tour, he was so proud and excited. This is his baby, and it shows."
"There is something incredibly fascinating about these macabre exhibits. What is on display is the preserved remain of actual people partially dissected to reveal the inner working of the Human body. To stand face to face with a once-living breathing human being is quite disturbing but ultimately the Exhibit is seriously fascinating."
"For a truly unique look into the complexities of the human body, stop by the BODIES exhibit. Thirteen preserved human bodies have been carefully shaped to display every facet of the human body, including circulatory and nervous systems. It’s geared towards people without scientific backgrounds without being too scientific."
"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."
"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."
"If you’re looking to enjoy some of Las Vegas’ sunny weather, head just south of the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign to this European-inspired outdoor shopping and dining center. You’ll find a bit of everything, with restaurants such as Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews, and stores such as Saks OFF 5TH, Express and The Raider Image. If you consider bargain hunting a sport, there are several outlet centers that cater to the discerning shopper who’s always on the lookout for a great deal."
"This is where the locals come to shop and hang out, and for good reason!. Townsquare Las Vegas is an open-air mall just a couple of minutes off the strip and it has an amazing selection of affordable stores. From Old Navy, H&M, Hollister, Hot Topic, and more, you’ll find a lot of great items for sale at this outdoor shopping center."
"Walking into Town Square, located at the corner of Sunset Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, you'll feel as if you're miles away from the strip as you're transported to quiet and quaint surroundings.[Learn more]"
"This is the hottest new attraction in Las Vegas that’s a mix of art, shopping, and food. It’s free to enter (though it requires tickets to control capacity) and there are plenty of murals and free art installations to browse. If you want to see certain exhibits, you can purchase tickets separately or as a bundle on the AREA15 site."
"The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian resembles a Venice street scene, complete with a canal that runs up the center of the shopping area. In addition to the stunning cobblestone walkways and illuminated painted ceilings centered along a quarter-mile-long Grand Canal, shoppers can jump on the romantic gondola rides, along with singing gondoliers. The center features world-class dining and dozens of the world’s premier luxury brands including Burberry, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch and Michael Kors."
"Even if you aren’t the type to get excited about shopping, you have to admit that there’s something awesome about shopping around a Venice-inspired canal with gondolas floating you through the water from store to store. It might seem like something out of the movie, but it’s an experience that you can have any time at the Grand Canal Shoppes. More than 200 stores are hosted within this shopping complex."
"The Grand Canal Shoppes is an upscale shopping mall that’ll have you feeling like you just stepped foot in Italy!. This 500,000-square foot mall has a man-made river in the center, where you can take a gondola ride!. They also have live entertainment in the center of the mall where people perform, just like in the streets of Italy!"
