Best Museums in Clark County

"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."

"Dive deep into the triumph and tragedy of the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition within the Luxor. This massive 25,000SF exhibit features dozens of items recovered from the ship’s wreckage including luggage, a piece of the hull, and the ship’s whistles. No need to imagine how lavish this ship was; full-scale recreations of the Grand Staircase, first-class and third-class rooms, and the Promenade Deck help you envision the grandeur of this “practically unsinkable” ship."

"One of the best things to do when on a vacation to Vegas is to check out some of the many cool museums in the area. The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History is completely free and will help children learn more about native Southwestern American Indian tribes, ancient Mexico and much more local history. Admission to the museum, which opens at 9 AM on weekdays and noon on Saturdays, is perfect for kids curious about the world around them."

"One of the more interesting places to view Las Vegas art is the Marjorie Barrick Museum. Located on the campus of UNLV, the Marjorie Barrick Museum is situated within a renovated historic gymnasium that features contemporary artworks as well as Pre-Columbian and Mesoamerican art. The six exhibit galleries include 50 pieces of international contemporary artwork from the Vogel collection which was bequeathed to the museum in 2010."

"Located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Barrick Museum features rotating exhibitions of everything from contemporary paintings to glass work to Ansel Adams' legendary collection of photography. Its well-curated collections and fun, hip vibe make it the perfect place to escape to for an hour or two. Admission is also free—perfect if you've been dealt a losing hand on the Strip."

"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 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."

"Fans of haunted houses, ghosts and other spooky things will find a large collection of paranormal items at Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum. Located in a house that's allegedly haunted, the museum is packed with artifacts carrying seriously scary histories. Visitors may recognize Bagans' name from the show "Ghost Adventures," where he investigates paranormal activity."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Nevada State Railroad Museum offers a big collection of locomotives, train cars, and photographs."

"Pioneers of the finest ales, the Las Vegas Brewery, Astronomy Aleworks, is the product of four dedicated beer enthusiasts, including a local Las Vegas father and son duo. Family owned and operated, the team brews and serves delicious scientifically crafted local beer because of the dedicated astronomers who worked diligently to bring the stars and planets close to us. At Astronomy Ale Works in the artisan booze district, you’ll find quality artisan beers set to impress any ale-naut or astronaut."

"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."

"John Griffith has been sharing his own home brews with family and friends for more than 30 years. Griff got so good at it, he was convinced to open his own place -- Mojave Brewing Company, renovated from an old Bank of America building in Henderson’s historic Water Street district. It’s an engaging, industrial space with roll-up, garage-style doors, bistro string lights, and a long patio where doggies are welcome."

"Expectant mothers will be truly cared for and comforted at Red Rock resort's spa, available to reserved guests as well as daily visitors. There are so many treatments designed with pregnant women in mind that the hardest part will be choosing which one you'd like. The facials will rebalance your skin's hormonal changes and give you that coveted glow while the relaxing massages alleviate muscle tension and aches on weight-bearing joints."

"This hotel channels all the glamour of old Vegas, with backlit onyx, tinted glass, and thousands of Swarovski crystals reminiscent of classics like the Desert Inn. But it also feels really contemporary and natural: Since it backs up against the stunning Red Rock Conservation Area, its rooms and public areas are very much in keeping with the colors of the desert—natural hues and dark woods with pops of color."

"If you want to treat yourself to a little pampering after your nature excursion, book a treatment at the Red Rock Spa. Those uninterested in treating themselves can head to the resort’s bowling alley or movie theater. We promise they’ll be occupied for as long as necessary."
