    I enjoyed my morning at the Spring Preserve and the Origen Museum! my favorite exhibit was The Natural Mojave Gallery and live animals. The desert that we call home has a very unique story. Learning about how mother nature constructed the mountains and the history of the topography in the area was fascinating. It is difficult to choose a least favorite exhibit. Origen details everything about Las Vegas history and learning how the city came to be was fulfilling. I'm happy I chose the Origen Museum because the Springs Preserve gives you so much more to explore. The Nevada State Museum and Butterfly habitat were a treat. The strengths of the Origen were numerous. I think the hands on approach like the night vision display, several hands on maps the traincar and the water conservation display help create an experience that helps the visitor grasp the information being shared. I did attend the attend the museum rather early in the morning, and I wish there were more employees on site to answer questions. Overall, I highly recommend visiting especially if you are not born and raised in Las Vegas.

Where: at a new corridor in between The Cosmopolitan and Aria, in addition to being neighbors to a Ross discount store, Museum of Illusions, and The Ocean Prime restaurant. I made the mistake of walking in 94 degree weather from where I was staying (at Resorts World) with a nearly 45 minute walk, and so the following day I took an Uber going in the same direction to the most southern side of the strip. What: an art museum with a focus on light and projection. Think Tokyo's teamlabs Borderless digital art museum, albeit on a smaller scale. The Exhibits: no matter where you look, everyone including myself were phone in tow taking photographs and filming in rooms with high ceilings, and projected light against mirrored walls. Since BTS was in town for their 4 day stop on their world tour, the exhibits included BTS themed projections, music, and cafe. I don't know how to describe it, but being in rooms with dimly lit light was just exhilarating and relaxing. How: definitely try to get tickets in advance if you can. I tried to visit the prior day, but the line looked extremely long at 2PM. I chose a 5PM for the following day ($60 with access to the cafe) and it took maybe 5 minutes to enter. I would say the whole experience for me was roughly an hour or so. I thoroughly enjoyed the Arte Museum and would definitely make a return visit in the near future.

Both didn't seem to enjoy working there and interacting with guests. They also didn't appreciate us asking any questions. My friend fell down the stairs, debatable whether it was a ghost that pushed her or not. The tour guide didn't ask if she was okay or cared. Just mentioned that she signed a waiver so... Despite all of that, I'd definitely go back! Hopefully next time they'll have tour guides actually interested in their job. I'd also be curious if video footage would be added to the tour of my friend falling. It seems they enioy putting everyone on blast that falls or faints in the museum lol.

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.

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!!!

So I took my nephew. He's a little older, but he did like it. It was creepy, but cool some of the spots. A lot of the spiders were hiding. The girl said she thinks it's because the lights are bugging them. So I get it honestly they had a lot of bugs not a lot but for Vegas museum it's good. You know what I'm saying. Next to the dinosaur the head of African I think they were roaches to be honest with you. I took a video of them. N the hissing bugs so gross, I would hate to come across them. The dinosaurs are cool when you push the button to make the sound some little kids do you get scared so be aware. Downstairs there's more artifacts. Creepy downstairs kinda dark n ominous

I don't know if we just missed stuff, but the boop card wasn't that interesting because we didn't have the time to go through every single employee computer. However, I did not have a good experience with Meow Wolf the business. I had a very small window of availability in Vegas because I was only transiting through for a very short time, and I was really excited to check out Omega Mart. First, we bought tickets for one day. Two weeks after the purchase, Omega Mart sent me an email that they had decided to open later on that specific day and rescheduled us to their new opening time. I asked for a refund, stating we could not make that time. They refused to refund me at first, telling me to just change the day I visit. I think not refunding immediately was poor on their part, since not everyone is from Vegas or in town long enough to be able to accommodate when they suddenly decide to change their hours. Next, on our last night in Vegas, we realized that we actually would be able to squeeze in a 2 hour visit from sometime after 9 to their closing time at 11 (we originally planned to spend the next day, our last day in Vegas, there). Around 7pm, I tried to call Omega Mart to figure out logistics (how sensitive the ticket windows are). However, the phone number on their VEGAS website redirects to a line in DENVER that has different hours. So we figured it would be safest to just buy tickets after we got there. Apparently after 9pm tickets shoot up to $75. That's wasn't posted anywhere, and since no one had picked up the phone, I had no way to learn that information. The way I learned was arriving at 9:03 pm. Sad.

We especially enjoyed seeing the historical artifacts, models, and detailed displays that brought such an important part of American history to life.
