"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."

"Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel showcases hundreds of artifacts and realistic replicas from the RMS Titanic along with personal tales and belongings from the passengers of the ship. Visitors will see a massive 15-ton piece of the ship’s hull, amazing replicas of the ship’s Grand Staircase, the promenade deck and passenger cabins. Visitors will also see many items from the ship, its passengers and crew, like plates, jewelry, whistles, currency, luggage, etc."

"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 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.

"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."

"Rod Huebert, a native of California, took over the market in 2017 and has since expanded it to include six other locations throughout the city, including the market at Bruce Trent Park. Find fresh produce, handmade lotions and oils, jewelry, clothing and more. There’s often live music playing during the market’s opening hours, providing entertainment for all ages."

"Bruce Trent Park was called after the original Las Vegas parks superintendent, the park honors Bruce Trent’s passion for sports and exercises with a particular fitness course. A weekly farmer’s market occurs each Wednesday from 2-8 p.m. It is also a fantastic spot to celebrate or to simply have a special event."

"Creative cocktails, an energetic crowd, vibrant music and the best sushi outside Japan are among the main things that set apart the RA Sushi Bar Restaurant. This downtown venue offers superior sushi and takes pride in its fantastic Japanese inspired cuisine and signature rolls. Regardless of your order, it comes with a large side of Anything Can Happen."

"Join us for happy hour, Monday through Saturday, from 3 to 7 p.m. Every Sunday, come out to the Flying Fish Lounge for food specials from 8 to 11 p.m. and drink specials 8 p.m."

"HendersonThe chef perfected his craft working at restaurants on the Strip and now has his own place in a location that used to be a New York-style diner. He’s on mission to keep hungry mouths away from all-you-can-eat sushi places while emphasizing the freshest fish from Japan. Don’t be surprise if you see a live lobster waving at you before dinner is served."
