    The Historic Antonio Morelli House - The Junior League sign at the corner of the house at 9th and Bridger.

    I searched for historical stuff and this showed up. I didn't know anything about it but was…read moreintrigued. One day I went by it. It's a house but there's a lot of history. The Junior League of Las Vegas maintains it and has tours. I had no idea who Antonio Morelli was. He was the music director at the Sands. This house is maintained to look like it was during the 1960s. He lived in this house. The house actually was moved here and has an interesting story about that. Go to the League website. If you're interesting in a tour you have to sign up for it. It's only during certain times.

    For a long time, I have wanted to tour the Morelli house in DTLV. Last Saturday, I took the…read moreopportunity and went for the 11:30 AM tour. The Junior League of Las Vegas uses this house as its headquarters but it was also their mission to preserve the house as one of their projects. The house is a great example of mid-century modern architecture. Originally, it was located on the golf course of the Desert Inn Country Club Estates on the Sands/Twain side. When Steve Wynn bought the Desert Inn, the houses from the Estates were leveled except for the Morelli house which was able to be moved. It was the only home with a crawl space and thus could be lifted up to be moved. The house was donated to the Junior League. Part of the tour is a video of moving the house on September 30, 2001, and it's quite interesting to see its move to Eastern, down to Fremont, and up 9th to Bridger. The interior contains many things we don't see in houses today. The tile work of the sinks in the bathroom are amazing, and the step down shower in the master bath is amazing. The Junior League women do the tour and it's quite interesting. Thanks to them, this house has survived and with it part of Las Vegas history. For those who don't know, Antonio Morelli was the musical director for the Sands Hotel.

    So we decided to do this as part of a Go City Pass attraction, otherwise it probably would not have…read morebeen on my list of things to do in Vegas. What a loss thar would have been! I cannot recommend this highly enough. Our guide, Kelly, had old pictures and knew so much of this history of Old Las Vegas. It was amazing!! He told us where to get affordable water (ABC stores) and why ABC stores (which are Hawaii-based stores) are around, took us through the history of so many hotels and the highlights. We did this in December, so I am sure it is a lot hotter in the summer, but there is a lot of indoor space. I'd still recommend a water bottle. All of us loved learning and he was a great story teller. You go all the way down to Container Park and get some coupons and restaurant tip sheet at the end. You will be on your feet for two hours so wear comfy shoes. But we actually would consider staying down in "old Las Vegas" the next time we come, all because of this tour.

    We booked this tour very last minute as in two hours before it started and were welcomed along. We…read moreloved it. We loved learning the history of Vegas and about the revitalization of downtown since this is where we were staying (and how this happened). We were taken into casinos we otherwise wouldn't have stopped in. Did you know there is an award winning pool in the golden nugget...we didn't. The two hours flew by and our tour guide offered suggestions for local eats. I recommend this tour if you want a bit of a history lesson on how Vegas came to be.

    I wish I could give this business zero stars…read more I set up an appointment with this company to take my boyfriend and I on a tour of Vegas and then to the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign where I was planning on proposing. The company called me 30 minutes before and said that our Elvis was 'sick' so he wasn't going to be driving our car and they would provide another guide. Our car and driver showed up and at first glance everything was fine but then the guide started talking. Everything that came out of this guys mouth was super awkward and weird. I was expecting an Elvis themed tour of Vegas (which is what is promised on the website) and he told us where all the malls are, where people get into fights on the strip, and about how he wasn't really an Elvis fan. When we passed the Mandalay Bay he went Into detail about the horrible shooting that happened there and then proceeded to tell us how the Welcome to Vegas sign was set-up as a memorial for the victims. Not necessarily what I was going for before proposing to my boyfriend. If the driver wasn't bad enough, the car sent me over the edge. I understand that it is an old car and some wear and tear is normal but if you have to cover the cracks dash with a dirty looking towel then maybe you should repair the car before you take people out in it. We literally stalled in the middle of traffic twice. I can't believe that's them same car they use to marry people and I'm glad I didn't pay them a penny more. I called the company and was promised a refund for my missing Elvis, which still hasn't gone through. I told them about what happened and the woman was totally unhelpful nor was I offered any more of a refund for the bad guide and the condition of the car. Don't waste your money with this company.

    As an OG fan of Ghost Adventures, I've been watching since Season 1, Episode 1, so visiting Zak…read moreBagans' Haunted Museum was an experience I had been looking forward to for a long time! Growing up in Las Vegas, it has been amazing watching Ghost Adventures shine a spotlight on this city and introduce people around the world to the incredible history, stories, and fascinating individuals connected to the paranormal. Vegas is so much more than the Strip, and places like this really showcase the mysterious and extraordinary side of the city. Walking into the Haunted Museum, the excitement immediately took over--but once I was inside, I was genuinely blown away. Seeing so many incredible and infamous artifacts up close was surreal, especially knowing the stories and history behind them. There is so much to take in, and you can truly feel the atmosphere as you walk through the different rooms. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the staff! Everyone I encountered was welcoming, friendly, and made the experience even better. After exploring the museum, I had to stop by the gift shop, where I picked up some of their awesome rosaries. They make such a cool keepsake from the experience. For a longtime fan, this was definitely a bucket-list experience. Whether you've been following the show for years or you're simply fascinated by the paranormal, history, and the unexplained, I absolutely recommend visiting Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum when you're in Las Vegas. A must-visit for any paranormal fan! Las Vegas wouldn't be the same without the fascinating stories and experiences that make it so unique.

    Wow, I've got a lot of opinions about this one…read more The hard and long upsell at the beginning when you are near the box office to upgrade is super offputting. Like thirty minutes of being held hostage is a real horror. Also, the selfies that you can take with the ring light cost $12 lol. They try to convince you to buy a Polaroid camera that can take up to 10 photos and that's also scammy. They take a dollar from you when they ask you if you would be willing to be tribute in one of the first rooms for a fortune reading. For the price that this is I think it is pretty insane at how much of a money grab they continued to be There is a ton of stuff to look at and sometimes I wish there was a little bit more time without the tour guide. But the tour is super long as it is and everyone that ended up buying the VIP said that it was not worth it. If you are sensitive to smell, I will have to warn you that the rooms are heavily perfumed. We didn't do the maze because apparently the clown was on lunch break. They should've given some of our money back because we didn't get the full experience. All in all, thé capitalize on spirits and glorify serial killers. Kinda weird. I am glad I did it once but will not be coming back. Candy man, the security guard was awesome though.

I…read morewalked in expecting a quirky detour from the chaos of The Strip...and instead found myself spiraling into a glittery, high-camp fever dream of joy, history, and pure theatrical devotion. Grant Philipo--museum founder, curator, storyteller, historian, showgirl whisperer--welcomed us at the door with the warmth of an old friend and ushered us into a universe built from sequins, feathers, rhinestones, and decades of showbiz mythology. Every costume, every headdress, every story is a love letter to the icons who defined Las Vegas glamour. Grant's passion is infectious. His knowledge is staggering. And his reverence for the showgirl legacy is so sincere that I audibly gasped multiple times throughout our tour. This isn't a museum--it's a pilgrimage. Hot tip: block out an entire day for the tour, because you'll want to savor every last morsel of Grant's stories.

This is truly like stepping back in time to the glory days of Showgirl reviews in Sin City. Located in the massive luxury home of veteran fashion designer Grant Philipo, this is a MUST SEE museum. It is impossible to convey the depth and details of this collection without seeing them in person. No other venue in Las Vegas recalls the mystique and splendor of the "Rat Pack" years. This is like the "Mob Museum" for fashionistas. Just go; trust me, you will be absolutely BLOWN AWAY!
