"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."

"The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the UNLV campus and is part of their College of Fine Arts.

The beautiful, open space has benches and a very relaxing atmosphere to sit down and stare at the art."

"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."

"Binoculars, fanny packs and Hawaiian shirts are optional but we’re more about getting into some of the free attractions sprinkled across the LVB (that’s Las Vegas Boulevard for all of you not in the know). Let’s start with some casino hopping. Amidst the singing slot machines and the bustling gaming tables, from the carpets to the decor, every hotel holds true to a unique theme. One minute you’ll find yourself in the chic and tech-y lobby of The Cosmopolitan and the next you’ll be among the Egyptian ruins of The Luxor."

"If you want to spend a day at the beach, don’t let being in the middle of the desert hold you back!. Mandalay Bay Beach, located at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, is an 11 acre aquatic playground of simulated beach experiences. With 2,700 tons of real sand to lounge on and a 1.6 million gallon wave pool, it’s no wonder it was named “one of the best pools in the US” by TripAdvisor."

"Mandalay Bay, a resort and casino, also happens to have its own 11-acre beach area, a lazy-river waterway and a 1.6 million-gallon wave pool.

May-September there is even live music at the beach and the lazy river is perfect for relaxation all year round. This is definitively one of the best pools in Las Vegas, especially for kids."
