17 BEST Museums In Las Vegas [September 2021
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 Bagans is famous for his work as a paranormal investigator and television host for the show, Ghost Adventures. He decided to take over the space in Las Vegas that many locals have said was haunted for years. Brave visitors will follow winding hallways through secret passages as they take in over 30 different rooms with different haunting displays."
"The Nevada Southern Railroad Museum is a family-friendly museum dedicated to showcasing the history of the railroad system in Boulder City. Operated by the Nevada State Railroad Museum, the museum is set on the tracks that were laid down by the Union Pacific Railroad to service the Boulder Dam project and features a passenger platform, four operational diesel locomotives, three steam locomotives, and a variety of non-operational equipment that has been cosmetically refurbished for static display. Visitors can enjoy rides on wheelchair-accessible open-air cars or air-conditioned and heated Pullman coaches as well as model railroad displays and 7½" gauge trains on the weekends."

If you were ever curious about the history of the famous US railroad that used to run through the entire country, transporting gold, animals, and people since 1827, there is no better place for you than Boulder City. Nevada State Railroad Museum offers a big collection of locomotives, train cars, and photographs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Four grocery stores from Seafood City, which specializes in Filipino ingredients. The market offers free fish cleaning and frying daily."
"This trend-setting restaurant's first location in New York made a name for itself with delicious food and now has several locations, with each location featuring a unique menu. In Las Vegas, diners can enjoy perfectly prepared sushi and sashimi, along with signature dishes like beef marrow bones, fried chicken with wasabi honey, bone-in rib steak and miso lobster. The sushi and sashimi offerings are broken out into Atlantic and Pacific sections; special and vegetable rolls, box sushi and a separate menu for the sushi bar are available."
"The CosmopolitanThe sushi is among the most beautifully prepared and presented in Las Vegas, and the restaurant has the feel of a classic Japanese steakhouse. But if you really want to mix things up, order Blue Ribbon’s famous Asian twist on fried chicken, served with shichimi peppers and wasabi honey."
"The Delano Las Vegas is a hotel that is defined by understated elegance, and its Bathhouse Spa is no deviation from this style. Textured slate walls, polished stone and trendy furniture give this stylish spa a luxurious yet hip atmosphere. Taking cues from nature, real stones line the bottom of the plunge pools, and many of the products used in treatments have ingredients sourced from local desert flowers and cacti."
"Rich opulent colors and antiques decorate the spa interior giving it a mystical Morrocan ambiance. The 32,000 square foot spa includes over 40 treatment rooms (some for couples with jacuzzi baths), a large relaxation area, and salon. There is a full menu of spa services including the Mandara Four Hands Massage and Mandara Stone Therapy."
"The best relaxation techniques from all over the world are gathered here, so you can recharge and remember your visit to Vegas for a long time. Well-Being Massage is one of the most popular spa treatment here. It's a divine procedure which includes the touches of Hawaiian, Chinese and Indian massages at the same time."
"Planet Hollywood Spa by Mandara is a healing oasis in the desert?. albeit one that features a relaxation lounge, fitness center, and hydrotherapy bath. Opulent colors and keyhole-shaped doors add an exotic aura to this soothing sanctuary."
