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."

"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."

"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."

"Here, you can encounter the spine-chilling vibe of the other world which was already shown in the Ghost Adventures series. Definitely, it is valid as a notable downtown Las Vegas chateau which is transformed by the reality show star and creator Zak into a world-renowned hub of the horrifying – spooky exhibition hall. In 1938, a famous businessman called Cyril S. Wengert owned this historical center which was situated close to South Las Vegas Boulevard."

"If you’re ready for a good scare, explore The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, as seen on the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures. See original collectibles from haunted sites and hear the bone-chilling stories of the paranormal activity that surrounds them. This the go-to destination for paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters wanting to see pieces from the “Demon House,” Dr. Kevorkian’s death van, and even the Dybbuk Box."

Eataly brings together restaurants, several casual counters and bars, a market and a wine shop. A full calendar of tours, cooking classes, wine and beverage tastings along with specialty dinners provide an abundance of food-centric things to do."

"In a town where it's not easy to single out steakhouses, we named Carnevino the best of them all. The praise is well-deserved for Mario Batali, who along with partner Joe Bastianich has an impressive Italian-American empire at the sister Venetian and Palazzo resorts. B&B Ristorante offers fine dining elegance, while B&B Burger & Beer goes for the casual crowd."

"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."

"The Luxor’s illuminating exhibit has been experienced by more than 15 million people.

"Right in the middle of Downtown sits the remnants of an adobe fort from 1855. (Look for it across the street from a Sinclair gas station.) The site is actually the first settlement in the Las Vegas Valley by non-native Americans and was built by Mormon missionaries, then used by the US Army. The fort is now an official state park with wooden gates straddling brick walls and gravel walkways, old wagons, the first flag ever flown over Las Vegas, and the running stream that made the location so attractive in the first place."

"It's a big surprise for many visitors to often-glitzy and frequently licentious Las Vegas, but Southern Nevada has deep roots in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a faith with a definitively conservative culture. Faithful from Utah set up camp along a spring-fed creek in the 1850s. Although it was abandoned within a couple of years, today's visitors can get an idea of the hard-scrabble Mojave Desert life that early pioneers faced at this restoration."

"Las Vegas was once a small stop on a mail service trail between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. In 1855, the Mormon Church settled in this area and built a permanent structure. The oldest non-Indian structures in Southern Nevada, these adobe buildings, such as the beige and red house portion, are also the oldest historic buildings standing here today."
