"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.

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.

"Our last stop on our brewery tour in Downtown Las Vegas is Triple 7 Restaurant & Microbrewery located inside Main Street Station Casino, Brewery, & Hotel. This Vegas microbrewery features six craft beers with some of the freshest flavors that will ever hit your lips. All your favorites – golden ale, hefeweizen, pale ale, IPA, and more – are all available year-round."

"CraftHaus Brewery was founded by Dave and Wyndee Forrest, a husband and wife inspired by the craft beer culture in Europe. The brewery established the first taproom in the Henderson Booze District, emphasizing a social sense of community in place of gaming machines. A second taproom opened last year in the Downtown Arts District, featuring local artwork and a specialized Czech tap that controls the flow of foam to beer for an authentic slow-pour pilsner."

"The super-fun, passionate, and talented team at CraftHaus is enthusiastic to share their craft with visitors. The owners were inspired by the beer culture they saw while making their way across Europe, so visitors to the Artisan Booze District can have a truly international experience. Their beer is described as “traditional, but tweaked,” and the team is dedicated to building the Las Vegas craft beer community."

"The Arts District’s CraftHaus offers a small patio at the front and 24 taps of beers to drink on site."

"Having just opened in October 2020, it’s the newest of the Las Vegas breweries. But HUDL Brewing Co is definitely NOT short on experience when it comes to brewing. The brewmaster has a long history in the industry, working with numerous breweries like Pizza Port and AleSmith in San Diego, as well as at the American Brewers Guild, where he took on many apprentices and has helped grow the craft beer industry."

"HUDL Brewing Co. offers 11 of its own beers on tap including stouts, IPAs, cream ales, and fruit beers. Of course, the beers can change all the time depending on what’s on tap next."

"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."

"This popular chain restaurant offers classic foods, plenty of choices, and hearty portions, all of which make the dining experience easy on your wallet.
