An acquaintance of mine recommended checking out the Arte Museum and I am so glad that I did! I've…read morebeen to plenty of digital/immersive art installations, but I've never been to one on the level of Arte. Las Vegas is one of two locations (the other is in NYC). I purchased my ticket at the entrance. My Uber driver persuaded me to add on the Interactive Café for an extra $5. Tickets are a bit pricier compared to other installations, but there are so many exhibits and you can easily spend two hours here. I visited back in February 2026. I don't know how often the installations are changed but the website has a list of current installations on view. I enjoyed all of the exhibits. The standouts for me were: Giant Camellia - I loved being able to touch the wall and see and hear the effects. It was very calming. Star Raindrops - I absolutely LOVE infinity rooms! Live Sketchbook Night Safari - this was such a cool interactive experience and my inner child loved it! Arte Café - the lavender milk tea that I had was really good and it was really cool to see art displayed on the table as well as the beverage itself! I appreciated how large each room was. I didn't feel rushed to move through each installation and it was nice to be able to take my time and allow myself to get emersed in the experience. Visiting the Arte Museum was one of the highlights of my trip and I'm so glad I made time to visit!

Arte Museum is an immersive experience located on the Vegas Strip. It spans 30,000 square feet and…read moreeach room engages multiple senses at once. If you've ever been to teamLab, this place reminds me of that with the rooms and the exhibits. We booked our tickets online for when they opened, and when we got there there was already a line to get in. They have lockers with locks if you need to store your stuff. The museum was two floors with a variety of exhibits. Overall it took us about an hour to see everything. If you're looking for something different to do on the Strip this is a good place to go.

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.

don't waste your time. It's basically a 2 1/2 hour Zak Bagans infommercial about how great he is…read more You don't get to spend any time with the artifacts, you can't take any pictures, and while the tour guides lead you into the room, they don't stay and explain anything. They just point you to a monitor on the wall where Zak talks about how he got the artifact and then they tell you if you want to know anymore, you can watch the episode of the show. They do have some very interesting things, but you don't have time to look at them. Also, don't waste your money on the RIP experience. It's the exact same tour that the general admission people go on the only difference is RIP goes into the basement for about five minutes. Everything else on that RIP tour is simply stepping closer to the object than the other people in the room. Don't fall for the "who has $1" scam at the beginning either. I personally had four different tour guides, and by the time we hit the second room I knew that all of this was a money making gimmick, and I would lay odds that more than half of the artifacts in that place aren't real. Most of them are a replicas. You can also "rent" a Polaroid camera that so generously allows you 10 Polaroid photos but then they restrict where you're allowed to take the photos at. I've been to haunted artifact museums and this was on my bucket list. I honestly regret the $55 we spent here

This was a cool museum and I'm glad we made a stop here. I actually didn't have any prior knowledge…read moreabout mobs besides prominent names like Al Capone. I did feel a little bit at times that the museum might have expected you to know at least a little bit more background information before going in. I caught myself thinking "this plaque seems to think I should already know who some of these names are!" A little more context to some of the blurbs would have been nice, but then again there is already a LOT of information and many names involved. I did learn a lot of interesting history, and enjoyed the museum even without a prior interest in the subject matter. There were many parts of the museum that were fascinating, but I do think the highlight of our trip was listening to the speaker Frank Calabrese Jr. who was previously involved with the mob through his family. I feel like the trip to the museum wouldn't have been complete or as memorable without hearing his story. The speakeasy was also pretty cool, although I wished coming in from within the museum there would have been a little more "secrecy" or a password. The drinks were pretty good. I feel like the speakeasy is also another "must do" here at the museum.

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 undergraduate (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.

Meow Wolf's Omega Mart is an immersive experience located inside AREA15. There are multiple…read morelocations throughout the country with this one in Vegas. If you're not a Nevada resident you have to pay $7 for parking. There are a variety of experiences including but not limited to axe throwing, arcade, laser tag, and golf. You can bundle different experiences together when you arrive which could save some money. We just went to the Omega Mart which was $60 per person. Just note that the earliest you can come before your scheduled time is one hour. You first start in a "grocery store" and there are secret entrances to the real experience. It feels like a mix of Stranger Things, outer space, and mad scientist lab. It was mostly exploring and touching stuff; it was a lot of sensory overload with lights everywhere. I read beforehand that it was recommended to get a boop card for $3.25 but we were told by the worker that it was "mostly reading" so we ended up not getting it. Along with that there was also a speakeasy behind the grocery store serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We ordered the meowjito ($17) and happle juice ($17) which were the two most popular cocktails and were good. It was estimated to take about 1.5 hours to explore everything but we only spend about 30-40 minutes. I'd recommend coming earlier because once it's busy the experience ends up being mostly just walking behind people.

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.

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