The Top 13 Must-See Museums in Las Vegas in 2021
"The airy central conservatory, which opens up right as you enter Bellagio, was inspired by the verdigris framework of Art Nouveau conservatories of Paris. Despite the fact that Las Vegas sits smack in the middle of the Mojave Desert, you can see the changing seasons in all their glory here as the garden transforms five times per year with fresh flowers; towering animatronic butterflies and birds; burbling fountains and bobbing lanterns. Each of its seasonal “theatrical presentations” of the elements is totally new."
"We found ourselves walking through a few beautiful hotels like the Wynn, Cosmopolitan, and also checked out the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at Bellagio. At 7:30pm, we took an uber outside the strip to check out a unique themed bar called The Golden Tiki. They have some really delicious drinks on the menu. It such a great time!"
"Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden At the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden, you can visit some of the most beautiful floral arrangements anywhere for FREE. The botanical garden offers year-round visual delight with distinctive colors of every season. Celebrate your commitment..."
"At the height of the Depression, thousands of men and their families migrated here and worked in excruciating conditions, dangling hundreds of feet above Black Canyon in 120°F (about 50°C) heat to build this massive 726ft-high dam, completed ahead of schedule and under budget in 1936. Ninety-six workers lost their lives building the iconic art-deco styled structure, which redefines the stark landscape. Tours of the dam structure begin at the Hoover Dam Parking Garage & Visitor Center."
"The Memorial Bridge, mentioned above, gives a spectacular view of the Hoover Dam, which is located in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River. It was opened in 1936 and was built to control floods and produce hydroelectric power. Today, the Hoover Dam is still in use and there are two lanes of traffic that run across it."
"Hemenway Park allows visitors the opportunity to closely mingle with bighorn sheep that come down from the nearby mountains to graze. The park also has playground equipment, gazebos, sport courts, and a view of Lake Mead."
"One of Southern Nevada’s unique trail experiences, the Historic Railroad Trail is dog-friendly hiking trail along a former railroad grade with breathtaking panoramic views of the Lake Mead and Boulder Basin area. Designated as a national recreation trail, the 7.5-mile Historic Railroad Trail shares the rich history of the creation of Lake Mead and the construction of the Hoover Dam and winds through five massive tunnels, each approximately 300 feet in length and 25 feet in diameter, and along a portion of the original railroad route that was used between Boulder City and the Hoover Dam in the mid-1900s. Boulder City, NV 89005, Phone: 702-293-8990"
"Designated a Historic National Trail, this hike is an awesome opportunity to connect with nature while learning. The trail goes through 5 old railroad tunnels, which were last used in 1961. It’s also the last part of the Hoover Dam Railroad system that isn’t disturbed or underwater."
"Floyd Lamb Park, at Tule Springs, is a pleasing oasis with its 680-acre park, with luxuriant vegetation, animals, lakes, and sightseeing’s of the Sheep and Spring Mountain Ranges. The momentous Tule Springs Ranch is gathered inside the park and provides chances for visitors to learn about the conventional working ranch and early Las Vegas lifestyle.

"Lorenzi Park was the vision of David G. Lorenzi, a French immigrant who bought 80 acres of property around two miles west of the first townsite in 1912. The park started as Lorenzi’s Lake Park in 1926 with a dance pavilion, pool, lakes, and gardens. It is recorded on the city’s Historic Property Register as a historic region and on the Nevada State Register of Historic places."
"Yes, the pizza at Five50 Pizza Bar is very affordable, but look down the menu to the small plates, and those gems are where the value lies. The prices aren't super inexpensive, but when you realize this is a shot at gourmet ingredients, the extra month will seem worthwhile. Continue to 9 of 35 below."
"Rainbow Family Park is a 26-acre park that proudly shows baseball and soccer fields, which can be reserved. It is a fine park to plot a special occasion. Rainbow Family Park has a great deal of open space."
