Best Museums in Nellis Air Force Base

"If you’ve never seen a piece of the mysterious Titanic up close, then you’ll want to hit up this top museum in Las Vegas. The Titanic exhibition displays several authentic artifacts recovered from the sunken Titanic ocean liner. Chef hats, wrenches, fine china, and chandeliers are just a few of the over 250 artifacts on display."

"Everyone has heard of the Titanic and probably even seen the famous motion picture that tells the tragic story, but this museum offers something completely new and unique. This exhibit is one of the highest attended exhibitions in history. You can see over 250 authentic artifacts recovered from the wreck."

"It’s been years since I last visited the Titanic exhibit, but the haunting sights have stayed with me. The exhibit transports guests to a lost world of glamour and tragedy. The artifacts are incredible, and you’ll feel both awe and empathy as you learn about the doomed ship.” –C."

"The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the UNLV campus and is part of their College of Fine Arts. The admission is free, so it’s a great way to spend an afternoon if you need a break from the casinos. The beautiful, open space has benches and a very relaxing atmosphere to sit down and stare at the art."

"Hands down, our favorite museum is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, on the campus of University of Nevada Las Vegas. It hosts art from local as well as national artists. The shows are always well-curated, and filled with interesting people.” –Tim Shaffer and Kate Aldrich, owners of Patina Decor"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"If you’re ready to face your fears, enter this historic 1938 haunted mansion in downtown Las Vegas and expect the unexpected. It’s part museum and part horror thrills, all collected by the producer of the show Ghost Adventures. For instance, a guided tour takes you through 30 themed Hollywood horror rooms that are chock full of props and artifacts from real life murders and paranormal events."

"Zak Bagans is famous for his work as a paranormal investigator and television host for the show, Ghost Adventures. He decided to take over the space in Las Vegas that many locals have said was haunted for years. Brave visitors will follow winding hallways through secret passages as they take in over 30 different rooms with different haunting displays."

"2233 S Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89104Phone: (702) 735-6803. Here is a wedding chapel that Hollywood producers and directors have seen fit to feature in their films. Granted, these were not academy award winning movies (Honeymoon in Vegas, Mars Attack, Indecent Proposal, and Vegas Vacation), but it does show the classic esthetic appeal of the chapel."

"The L.A. Comedy Club is located inside the world-famous Stratosphere. One of the most recognizable structures in Vegas, the “Strat” is a must-see. The club itself is located inside the Stratosphere’s 160-seat Dragon Room."

"Venue: L.A. Comedy Club At The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino. Show Times: There are shows 8:00 pm nightly (7 days per week), with additional 10:00 pm show (Friday and Saturday)"
