Best History Museum in Mountain Springs

"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."

"Experience the wonder and tragedy of the world’s most famous ocean-liner, Titanic. Viewed by more than 25 million people worldwide, the Exhibition is one of the highest attended in history."

"Located at the Springs Preserve, the Nevada State Museum is home to a variety of permanent and changing exhibits that offer a fascinating look at the state's history and natural history. Highlights include a 14-foot-tall Columbian Mammoth skeleton and an Ichthyosaur, Nevada's state fossil, which lived in the waters that covered Nevada 225 million years ago. Guests can also hear tales of the famed Comstock Lode, as characters from Nevada's most famous gold and silver strike come to life."

"The Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas is situated at the Springs Preserve, in Las Vegas. Nevada is one of 7 Nevada State Museums worked by the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. The name was transformed from the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society in 2008 when the gallery moved from Lorenzi Park in Las Vegas to the Springs Preserve campus."

"Located at Springs Preserve, the Nevada State Museum works to advance the understanding of the history, pre-history, and natural history of Nevada.

"The Burlesque Hall of Fame showcases this tempting form of dance as a visual art with an important historical legacy and highlights the stars of its past. It is part of the city’s rapidly growing downtown arts district, making it walkable from downtown and parts of Las Vegas Blvd. The exhibits are comprised of burlesque outfits and props from the 1960s to today, along with a trail of media articles and photos documenting the rise of burlesque in America’s nightlife culture."

"The Burlesque Hall of Fame is the planet’s only museum thatsolely aims to preserve the legacy of burlesque. The collection houses thousands of costumes, props, photos, and other personal effects that document the colorful lives and careers of many burlesque dancers, producers, and comics. The museum’s collection spans from the late 1800s to today and shows the impact that the art form has had on society."

"Burlesque has a long, proud history, and the Burlesque Hall of Fame is dedicated to developing, preserving and showcasing it. The displays are filled with props and costumes. Vintage memorabilia is everywhere."

"It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 1950–51, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America. In addition to hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, the museum boasts a series of multimedia exhibits featuring interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos."

"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."

"This old timey breakfast joint is personified by its long tables, classic diner bar with different clocks hanging on the wall, set to time zones around the world, and of course, the omelets. At Omelet House, there are nearly 40 unique and different omelets on the menu as well as pancakes, eggs Benedict, and French toast stuffed with cream cheese and the customer’s choice of berries, apple, or Nutella.

"Located in Henderson’s Booze District, Astronomy Aleworkscreates “works of fermented art using keen scientific principles inspired by the hard-working men and women who labored to bring the stars and planets closer to our hearts”. Astronauts, for those who didn’t get the fancy wording. We sat next to one of the founders/brewers when we visited and he answered the question (from someone else) of “Why the name, Astronomy Aleworks?"

"One of the best parts of Las Vegas is the cheap flights running nearly round the clock. It affords the opportunity to extend a trip for a few extra hours for a bit more fun. The city of Henderson isn’t too far from McCarran International Airport and neither is its Artisan Booze District, which includes Crafthaus Brewery, Bad Beat Brewing, Las Vegas Distillery, and Vegas Valley Winery."

"Along with CraftHaus and Bad Beat, Astronomy Aleworks is one of three beer producers in the Henderson Booze District. The brewery has a sci-fi theme, but also describes itself as “science based” -- having hosted events with UNLV astronomy students and guest professors in the past. Special brews change every week or two and a canned rye IPA is in the works for the fall."

"A beer-themed ode to the Atomic Age in Las Vegas debuts with a roster of homegrown brews. Able Baker Brewing Co. brings a downtown micro-brewery and taproom filled with atomic orange flooring and Nevada gear decking the walls of the Gateway District space. Some of Able Baker’s beers on tap at the 15-Bbl brewhouse include Atomic Duck IPA, Honey Dip Stout, Cherry Berry Bang Bang, Double Dead Duck IPA, Test Site Saison, 5-Pepper Porter, and Chris Kael Impaled ale."

"Able Baker Brewing is at the south end of the Arts District and immediately gets you with those awesome brewery vibes. Bright lights, big ceilings, colorful chalkboard menus, lively music, shiny brewing equipment, and ducks."

"Nevada Brew Works shares a wall and patio with HUDL Brewing and is the senior member of the two, which is saying something since they only opened one month prior in September 2020. So still fairly new to the Las Vegas breweries scene. A tap list features a handful of their house brews and several guest taps as well, both local and regional."

"A dog-friendly patio with an eye-catching silo makes the perfect spot to drink an Irish red, Hefeweizen, or oatmeal stout brewed on site."

"Mon-Thu: 11 am to 12 am; Fri & Sat: 11 am to 1 am: Sun: 10 am to 12 am"

"Up on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria sits one of the coolest lounges in Vegas. Skybar serves one of the most stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip with decor inside to match the swanky prices. Drinks take their names from icons of Las Vegas such as the Block 16 made with Belvedere and Giffard Caribbean pineapple passion fruit, the Sinatra with Jack Daniels Sinatra Select and Amaro Nonino, and the Golden Knight made with Toki Japanese whisky and Chartreuse."

"If you wanted to mix incredible views with a stylish bar then the SkyBar is going to be the place for you. It towers over the Las Vegas strip as it sits 23 floors into the air. The elegant interior and breathtaking exterior are a great mix."

"At the Skybar, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of both The Strip and Downtown Las Vegas on one side while the majesty of Red Rock Canyon unfolds in all its glory when you turn to your other side!"

"Hussong’s Cantina is located inside of the Shoppes at Mandalay Place and is tucked back off the beaten path. But their fish tacos are definitely a reason for you to go hunting for them. The amount of flavor that they are able to stuff into those little corn tortillas will have you reaching for the next one while you’re still chewing the last bite."

"This Mexican-style restaurant also located in the Shoppes at Mandalay Place boasts a vegan menu. We recommend starting with some guacamole and one of Hussong’s signature margaritas. Follow it up with any of the delicious entrée options, including classics like chile relleno, enchiladas, and vegan fish tacos."
