(5/5) ARTE Museum…read morewas one of the most beautiful and immersive experiences we've ever done in Las Vegas! Every room was breathtaking, with stunning digital art, music, lights, and projections that made you feel like you were stepping into a different world. It was relaxing, unique, and unlike anything we've experienced before. It is definitely on the pricey side, but we felt it was worth it for the experience. We also loved ending our visit at the ARTE Cafe, where our admission included a beautiful specialty drink that came to life with interactive digital art on the table--a really fun and memorable touch. Admission: Around $50-60 for adults and $40-50 for children (ages 4-12) depending on the day. Tickets that include the ARTE Cafe drink are about $5 more. Children 3 and under are free. Nevada residents also receive a discount. Hours: Open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with last admission at 9:00 PM. Parking: The easiest option is to park at The Cosmopolitan self-parking garage and take the pedestrian bridge to the museum. Valet parking is also available at the 63 CityCenter building where the museum is located. Best Ages: Great for all ages, but I'd especially recommend it for ages 5 and up. Adults will appreciate the artistic experience just as much as kids. Tips: * Plan to spend 60-90 minutes exploring. * Charge your phone beforehand--you'll want lots of photos and videos. * Visit earlier in the day or later in the evening for fewer crowds. * Take your time in each room and don't rush--the changing visuals are part of the experience. * If your budget allows, get the ticket that includes the ARTE Cafe drink. It was one of our favorite parts! If you're looking for a unique indoor attraction in Las Vegas that's both relaxing and visually stunning, ARTE Museum is absolutely worth visiting!

Also cause I am ARMY, I wish they would have more BTS integrated, like a room that had close to real life projections of their videos & photos to take pictures with. But overall, they had really cool rooms to take pictures with. The line to get in was horrendous underneath Vegas sun. There probably should have been misters or canopy's placed over the line areas. My good friend took me. She bought the added drink bonus. Which we never got because the line was horrendous.

My friend and I came here yesterday and weren't sure what to expect. The home was so gorgeous with…read moreso many details, it felt immersive and each room had its own scent which really changed the vibes of the places we were in. Overall the home was amazing and I'd happily go again but I'd have to say the staff were our favorite part. Our tour guide (forgot her name but she had black framed glasses and tattoos on side of her face) was so friendly and kind. The man who puts the drill in his nose was also so sweet, it was a surprising detail that made a spooky place feel so much more comforting (but also still terrifying )

I have to preface my review by saying I do not believe in ghosts or the paranormal nor do I believe…read morein any of the stories that I heard during my visit, but I do watch Ghost Adventures more for the curiosity than anything else and I was really excited to visit the museum not because of an encounter, but just because I love anything spooky and was excited to see what was inside. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how much material they packed into this tour and given that it is almost 3 hours, you really do get a lot of bang for your buck. There is a free parking lot attached and as many will point out this is not in a great part of town so if you are visiting during the night it is best to be driven in and out versus walking in and out. They do not allow photography inside so I only have a few pictures from the beginning of the visit, but I would definitely recommend to anyone because it is a really fun experience and it is also very unique. As mentioned I don't believe in any of these things so it was even fun for a non-believer like myself. Overall, a really fun Vegas activity and I would recommend to anyone, and if you are a believer it is even more of a memorable experience I would imagine.

Staff is also nice CONS: I do believe it's overpriced. $38 for an adult is not affordable for the average family of four OVERALL: great museum to come and see. Even if you aren't into the mob.

My friend and I recently visited Las Vegas, and when deciding what we'd do, the Mob Museum was near…read morethe top of our list. We have both been to Las Vegas many times, and we hadn't ever visited the Mob Museum. So we decided to visit this time. We enjoyed the experience overall and would certainly recommend it to others. When we arrived, we paid for parking and went inside to pay for the Mob Museum experience. We were prepared to walk around and read a lot of information about the mob. We were pleased to learn when we arrived that there would be a former member of the mob speaking upstairs in just a few minutes. We quickly went upstairs and found a seat. The speaker was Frank Calabrese, Jr., who worked with the FBI to bring down his crime family in Chicago. He told us his story first-hand while telling us about his book and sharing slides as he spoke. This first-hand account was a great way to kick off our visit! After the speaker, we headed up to the third floor and started looking through exhibits and worked our way floor by floor down to the first floor and eventually to the basement. On the third floor, we learned about the birth of the mob, the start of organized crime, the founding of Las Vegas, prohibition, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Al Capone, the FBI fighting back, how several mob leaders were taken down due to smaller violations, and how organized crime spread. On the second floor, we learned about the Kefauver Hearings, the historic courtroom that became the Mob Museum in Las Vegas, the Mob eyeing Las Vegas, skimming from the casinos, Las Vegas going straight, the Mob infiltrating the police, and the Mob's greatest hits. On the first floor, we learned about how the FBI took down the Mob (or some of them), various stories about mob leaders, organized crime today (yes, the mob still exists!), use of force by the police, and the mob in popular culture. We also visited the Global Networks Touch Wall, the gift shop, and the Underground (speakeasy in the basement). While we didn't pay the extra fee to use them, there are interactive exhibit options for a Crime Lab, Firearm Training Simulator, and Distillery Tasting. The general admission cost is $34.95 per person to access exhibits without a discount. For an extra $15, you get access to exhibits and one interactive exhibit. For $5 more than that, you get access to exhibits and two interactive exhibits. There are discounts available to Nevada residents, students, law enforcement and military. You can also get tickets before 11 AM or after 5 PM to receive $7 off admission plus 20% off coupons on the internet. The Mob Museum is typically open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. The Underground speakeasy and distillery is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to Midnight. You should give yourself 1-3 hours to experience the museum. Definitely check out the Mob Museum at some point while you're in Las Vegas! Worth a visit!

The Neon Museum has been on my list for years and I finally got to go on my recent trip to Vegas…read more Looking at old reviews here, I'm glad that I waited this long because it sounds like they've made some improvements. We booked our tickets ahead online because it appeared that in the past they would sell out, but we could have easily purchased them at the door. The museum houses old working and non-working neon signs from Las Vegas past. There's everything from old cleaners signs to old casinos like the Stardust. I highly recommend that you visit at night so that you can see a lot of the boneyard lit up. They offer guided tours but we opted out. There's plenty of signage throughout the museum to give context and history to what you're looking at, although the guided tour would have been cool. We spent about an hour walking amongst the signs and I didn't want it to be over! They have a separate fenced off section with signs that will never light up, but I wish that we could have explored that section as well, since many of the signs that they had on display in the main area also didn't light up. It was so cool to see this piece of Las Vegas history.

This was a pretty unique experience. Came here with a friend on a Monday evening, and this was the…read morefirst time here for both of us. I'd say this is a spot worth checking out just once. It was really cool to see and learn about Vegas's history, and it was fun checking out this spot! Night time 8pm-Midnight is where its at here, doesn't seem like it would be as cool to see during the day. Tickets are overpriced though - you can get a similar experience walking through Downtown Las Vegas/Fremont Street. I fortunately was able to get a $5 discount per ticket for both mine and my friend's ticket (I paid for both of us) with my USC student ID as a graduate student, but the girl selling the tickets got confused when she thought that meant I graduated already - I had to clarify that no, that means I finished my undergraduated (bachelors degree) and am working on my Masters degree.

Walking in we were greeted with a very friendly smile, were shown the map, told highlights of the museum and had all questions answered with very friendly service! I loved the striking giraffe statues and loved that all animals except the large eagle were taxidermy! I couldn't believe just how massive the giraffes were, it is a very striking impact to have them greet you at the entrance! Great placement! Stuffed animal room was very neat to see, I have only seen animals like this in a museum in Elko Nevada. We moved on to the aquarium room, saw some small sharks, and some cool fish like puffer fish! We loved the dinosaur room and that would have been way cool if my kiddo was younger!!! The highlight for me, what I was here for was the Egyptian exhibit! Wow!!!! I learned sooooo much and can't belive the actual artifacts that are on display here!! They were absolutely amazing!! This exhibit alone was worth the money!! The machine that you could view the different layers of the mummy was phenomenal to experience!!!

(4/5) We had a…read morereally fun time at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum! It's the perfect size for families with young kids, and I'd recommend it most for ages 2-8. Our kids loved all the interactive exhibits, especially the fossil dig, the moving sand table, and the hands-on play areas. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they also enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs, marine life, and live animals throughout the museum. Admission: Around $15 for adults and $7 for children (ages 3-11). Kids 2 and under are free, making it an affordable family outing. Parking: Free parking is available, which was a huge plus. Tips: * Plan for about 2-3 hours to see everything. * The hands-on exhibits are the highlight, so allow extra time for those. * Great indoor activity, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. The museum isn't huge, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but it's clean, well maintained, and offers a fun, educational experience for young children. We'd definitely recommend it to families visiting Las Vegas!

I think it's great. Lots and lots of photo ops. They have a timed entry so there's no bottleneck…read moregetting in. The girl in the gift shop is phenomenal. Watching her with other customers, some of them needing extra help with things, was so reminiscent of times when people really mattered to businesses. Security, or maybe just helpers (?) have the patience of a saint. I got lost twice, and they helped me find my way. Granted one guy told me to just wait in the gift shop because everyone ends up there eventually. Well, yeah, after they're done which takes hours if you're into it. There's secret rooms, secret passageways, inside jokes, a treasure hunt type thing where you get your card scanned at each stop, and gift shops. The MeowWolf stuffie we bought was $30, but I don't think you'll find it anywhere else. Little fidget thing, like a Rubics Cube but more..... not cube? was $30. Even after it was solved it's fun to mess up and try again. The entry gift shop has all kinds of funny products, and some food that if you move has hidden things to see. It was fun. You can get your hand stamped to go to the food places. Prices are INSANE. No really. Trust me on this one. There is a place inside the area, but they had like three things. One is macaroni and cheese. lol. Very random. If you have kids expect them to be excited, have a fantastic time, but they'll be ready to leave long before it feels like the entry fee is worth it. There are rooms with flashing lights/seizure warnings, and a couple that made me feel a little dizzy. If you follow the loose story there's a computer to get your card stamped. Took someone in another group to catch it for us. Parking lot is large, locals park free. When we were there there wasn't even a setup to charge anyone to park, but I don't know if that changes. Our maps was wonky, but I'm seriously directionally challenged so maybe it was me. All in all I'm glad we went.

I was honestly surprised to see the mixed reviews on this one - but I think Meow Wolf is very much…read morea "you get out what you put into it" kind of experience. If you go in expecting a quick walkthrough or something you can half-pay-attention to, I can see why it might feel confusing or underwhelming. But if you take your time, start opening doors you're not sure you're supposed to open, and actually lean into the story and details, it becomes a completely different experience. There's so much layered into it visually and conceptually that I found myself going down rabbit holes (sometimes literally) trying to piece things together. It's chaotic in the best way. That said, it's not my favorite Meow Wolf location overall - but I still think it's absolutely worth a visit if you're in Vegas. Even on the lower end of their locations, it's still one of the more unique immersive art experiences you'll find anywhere on the Strip.

Quick search on Yelp & Google, and knew this was gonna be THE spot. With down time finally in our favor, we stopped by on a Monday afternoon. Took the elevator up and paid at the register. I asked if cash and/ or card are accepted, but it's card only. There are complimentary lockers available before walking into the museum. Watch the quick 2 minute video and away you go. Next to every display or immersive exhibit, you can read what is happening. And why you are experiencing this special effect. It's a great flow of exhibits. And if one particular area is crowded, you can continue on exploring. And return back to the previous one. Staff is so friendly with photo opportunity suggestions. * Restrooms are located near the slot machine/ pole dance area! There are WARNING signs if you have sensitivity to flashing/ strobing lights. Some rooms can be a bit darker while throughout the museum is well lit. The optical illusion to some of the exhibits can cause dizziness. Even the graphic geometric patterns you'll see throughout. Very budget friendly. And from a previous review I read on Yelp, you can also find discounts directly on their website. You'll exit at the gift sho

The only downside is the ticket price felt expensive -- I honestly wish they charged a little less so that everyone could afford to experience and learn from this unique museum. Still, it's a very educational and worthwhile visit if you enjoy history, science, or museums.

Amazing educational experience for the whole family!…read more My family and I visited the Atomic Museum and had such a great time! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how well the exhibits were set up and how much history is packed into one place. The museum does an excellent job explaining the science and history behind nuclear testing and the Manhattan Project in a way that was engaging for adults and older kids alike. We especially enjoyed seeing the historical artifacts, models, and detailed displays that brought such an important part of American history to life. The museum was clean, well organized, and easy to walk through at our own pace, and there were plenty of interesting things to see that sparked conversations among all of us. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we even spent extra time exploring the exhibits because there was so much to take in. Overall it was a fun, educational outing, and we definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a little different to do in Las Vegas. A great mix of science, history, and fascinating facts that left us all talking about what we learned long after we left!
