    04.05.24 Located at Horseshoe Las Vegas
    May A.

    Displays of the human anatomy [Las Vegas NV] I'm not sure if this is the same exhibit as the one in Luxor that we also visited many years ago but this Real Bodies exhibit is located on the lower level at the Horseshoe (formerly Ballys). The displays are preserved real human bodies, specimens, and art installations. For me the exhibit I found most interesting was the comparison between a smoker's and non-smoker's lungs. That's powerful stuff and some visitors have chucked those smokes away in a clear glass case. Let's hope to have that case filled. Real Bodies did a great job in displaying the specimens and we found them both educational and informative. Like did you know babies are born with 300 bones, while adults only have 206? Where do they go!? And that the average speed of a sneeze is about 100 miles per hour? whoa... please cover mouth when sneezing. The Wall of Bones exhibit was modeled after an Ossuary. The catacombs in Paris are the most famous example of an Ossuary. The Love locks on the fence was interesting too. I was more interested with the exhibit than my hubby was, who found them morbid.

    Located in the Horseshoe Casino Real Bodies was definitely my favorite! It's a display of human bodies illustrating various aspects of anatomy, medicine, birth & death. Mind blowing is an understatement!

    If you are in Vegas this is a must see and currently on display at the Horseshoe Casino. I learned so much about this fragile vessel that we call the human body. To learn how it works from the womb to the tomb was absolutely amazing. They also have an app where you can listen to a guided tour or go and just read on your own. They also have a bar across the way but if you go to the early Real Bodies tour at 11am be prepared to not go to the bar as it opens at 1pm. The staff is so helpful and cool and willing to share their knowledge about the exhibit.

    An amazing experience. I loved it. The fetal was a little jarring to see in person, but this whole exhibit was tastefully done. I would fully recommend everyone visit.

    I had a wonderful admiring the intricate and precise cadavers on display, especially as someone who has very recently participated in dissecting a cadaver personally. They do a wonderful job of being able to see everything clearly as well as labeling the more obvious structures. I appreciated the layout based on certain body systems as well as the descriptions of each. I would definitely come again the next time I am in the area!

    This Exhibit really opened my eyes to how fragile our bodies are. There are so many individual components that are packed tightly inside of our bodies, and they all work together simultaneously to keep us alive, strong and healthy. Although we mistreat our bodies day in and day out, our bodies are mostly capable of regenerating and healing itself over time. It's pretty awesome to get a chance to get up close and personal to see and learn about the human body in all its glory. Located in Horseshoe Hotel/Casino (Formally Bally's), the Real Bodies exhibit is very easy to find. Just follow the signs. If you are driving, the parking garage behind Paris is the closest, it's roughly a 10 minute walk after you've parked. Locals can park for free up to 3 hours, and non-locals get free parking for the first hour. As for entry tickets, you can either buy your tickets online, or wait until you arrive and buy them at the entrance. Locals get a discount off of the ticket price, so make sure to bring your Nevada ID to get your discount. The exhibit is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Although these are "Real Bodies", the displays are very informative and you really get the feeling that each body was handled with dignity, respect, and thoughtful consideration of how it would be displayed. I visited shortly after noon on Monday and there was no crowd. I spent almost 2.5 hours here reading and looking at everything thoroughly. Some people trickled in and out while I was here, but it never got crowded during my visit. Overall, this is a great exhibit if you're interested in learning more about your own body. I'm not in the medical field, so this was my crash course on the human body and all it's functions. I don't recommend this exhibit for children under 13 years, as some of the contents might be disturbing for them. Highly Recommended!

    Overrated. The exhibit was extremely small and not worth the high admission prices. I went to something similar years ago in LA Science Center, and it so much better than this one. Some of the stuff on display was cool, but totally not worth the price of admission. If you can get discounted tix, it would be better. Still not good, but better.

    I've always liked the bodies exhibit. I went years ago when it was first here and again with family. There's something about the way they show you just how incredible the human body is. While I would love more informative facts as the original had, this exhibit was great to. Not very crowded and a walk yourself tour makes it easy to go at your own pace so you can focus on the parts that are more interesting to you.

    I totally missed this exhibit when it was here in LA, but of course since I'm in Vegas all the time I was super lucky to see it here at Ballys. Thank you Caesars for the Diamond reward perk! This place is located downstairs, just follow the signs and located right next to the escalators. It's pretty much a self guided tour and there is a lot to see and read. If you intend to read every single signage, you'll probably be here at least 90 minutes. We skimmed through some and read only the ones interested by us and that took 45 minutes. There are so much to learn, but my favorite is the cardiovascular system. There was a body here that was divided in three lengthwise that I found particularly educational. There were monitors that connect the bodies and the covid connection as well. Parking in the shared Ballys /Paris lot. BTW there is an EV charger there on the 1st floor you will not see on Chargepoint and pretty much anywhere else. To all electric car drivers, it's our little secret okay?

    During my trip to Vegas, I decided to try out the Real Bodies experience at Bally's. It was definitely interesting to say the least. Here's some quick pros/cons of the experience: Pro- Such an awesome learning experience! Seeing the human body and literally everything that happens inside of it was simply amazing. The information is also pretty digestible (no super difficult doctor language) and the journey throughout the exhibit is almost like a "journey" through life. Kinda tough to explain, but once you experience it you'll see what I mean. Cons- It's more so bittersweet then it is a con, but seeing these real human bodies exposed, dissected, and presented like that left me a bit sad. I know it's for a good cause, but given the history/theories of where these bodies came from and similar situations that have happened in our country and other places in the past, the experience did leave a bit of a eerie feeling. Aside from that, the exhibit was good and unlike anything I've ever done before. Can't say I'll do it again honestly (just because of the eerie feeling) but that's just my personal preference. I would definitely recommend it if you've never been before, so you can make the decision for yourself. Lastly a few friendly tips: - check Groupon / Las Vegas Go passes to see if they have any deals for the exhibit and other experiences. It'll Save you some money. - if you have kids, be ready to do a lot of explaining because they literally have EVERYTHING out. Do with that as you well. -the exhibit is a short one, so take your time when you go through. If you read the information and get a few good photos, it should take you maybe 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

    Great exhibit ! I've gone to the other bodies museum in Luxor twice so when I saw this one was part of the Go City pass for Vegas I just had to go ! So many fascinating bodies and facts on display. Wasn't a super large space but we visited on a Friday around 7pm and it was empty. So maybe everyone was out drinking and not wanting to learn body facts ? lol If you're looking for something to do on the strip that's not drinking/clubbing/partying. I would def recommend checking this place out.

    Very cool experience! For those fascinated with anatomy, this is a cool little walk through experience detailing how the human body works with a visual learning experience. I would highly recommend this for all ages. For the best deals, I would recommend using Groupon unless they have a better deal at the ticketing desk at the time. The military discount is only a dollar and you get a couple more off on Groupon. Overall a great experience!

    This was such a n interesting and eye opening exhibit for me. I walked out of there looking at things completely different . I enjoyed how everything was explained so well and it's fascinating to see how our bodies look and can work from the inside . I will admit it creeped me out but I kept wanting to learn more . Get ready because it can get DEEP!

You wait on same lines for slides, ice cream, etc. The quality of that ice cream is average, the soft serve is below average, the topping cheap. I had expected - and I read a lot of about it -- a fun experience, with good ice cream, and highly engaged staff. The staff was fine, however, they were more like crowd watchers than engaged staff. They fooled me once, and they will never fool me again. However, AREA 15 is well worth it in so many other ways.

The…read morecollection is enormous, the atmosphere is genuinely unsettling, and the guides do an excellent job bringing the sinister history behind each artifact to life. It is absolutely worth spending the extra money on the RIP All Access ticket. You receive a free Haunted Museum shirt, a badge and lanyard, and access to areas that are closed to general-admission guests. If you're already making the journey into one of the darkest collections in Las Vegas, you might as well unlock every forbidden door. For those seeking an even more intense paranormal experience, the museum also offers a Late Night Flashlight Ghost Tour. Guests are allowed to explore the darkened museum with flashlights and ghost-hunting equipment. It sounds like the closest you can get to conducting your own investigation--though after what happened to me, I'm not certain returning after midnight would be wise. You see, one of the dolls noticed me. Since leaving the museum, I have heard a woman whispering from the corner of my bedroom every night. At first, she only said my name. Now she tells me to come back. Last night, I woke up holding my RIP badge, even though I had locked it inside my suitcase. Still, this was easily the highlight of our Vegas trip and worth every penny. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Just be careful around the dolls, never look directly into their eyes, and before leaving, make certain nothing has decided to follow you home.

    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

My friend and I were looking for something different to do, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

We were lucky enough to catch a talk by a former mob member, which made the experience even more memorable. A special shout out to the employees throughout the museum.

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.

We stayed 2 hours and I am pretty sure we got most of the rooms. We had to google the bar location because we were thinking about it too hard. They do want to make money off the bar of course. I had no shame and asked for my picture in many locations since this is a good instagram worthy location. The biggest draw back are the accessibility. You really do need to be able to climb around, go up and down narrow stairs, walk on uneven surfaces, be ok with strobe lights, wavy hallways, mirrors, crawling, and every other ability you can think of. Some rooms I wouldn't go in due to anxiety (the fog maze) and had to run through like the strobe light room. The plot may be hard to discover without YouTube research even if you spend all day watching the clips and reading everything. This place is massive. Very cool experienced but definitely for a specific group who can really get through it. Not only was the price tag high but the extra pay access is unnecessary in top of the $55 entry!

I bought the all access pass through Area15 so that meant I wasn't restricted to a specific time frame to enter. In comparison, you could also purchase a timed ticket through Omega Mart Meow Wolf's website itself. Regardless, I went at opening and there was already a line forming. It wasn't clear what line was what (just one big line), but once it started moving, they asked who had a timed ticket vs. who had an anytime ticket. Once you go in, if you want to do the storyline, you have to pay for a $3 card (which subsequently you can scan at the various computers throughout Omega Mart). Even at opening, I thought there was a lot of people. However, it was nothing compared to when I left (around an hour later post opening). Once it's packed (especially with tons of kids running around), it gets significantly harder to go through the storyline. I do think it's worth doing once if you're curious like I was. It's definitely a cool sensory sci-fi like experience. There is also a bar but I was too early. Come early!

    What a cool way to spend some time doing something different…read more Initially we were gonna head to Museum of Illusions. Then, looking outta our window- I saw Paradox Museum! 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

My sister and I had a blast exploring the exhibits--and thanks to the super helpful staff, we snapped some seriously cool photos along the way. Some of the illusions still have me scratching my head, and I love that. Hands down, this was one of the most fun and fascinating museums I've ever visited. Highly recommend!

    Very interesting and unique museum in Las Vegas! The Atomic Museum does a great job showing the…read morehistory of nuclear testing in Nevada and how it impacted Las Vegas and the surrounding area. There are lots of interactive exhibits, old equipment, videos, and real historical artifacts. Learning about the atomic testing era and seeing how close the tests were to Vegas was fascinating. The museum is clean, well organized, and easy to explore at your own pace. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable too. 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!

    My wife and I have always been fascinated by history, so visiting the Titanic Museum at the Luxor…read morewas something we had been looking forward to. Before we even got there, we tried one of the new Zoox autonomous vehicles that are currently operating as part of a free pilot program in Las Vegas. It seats up to four people, the ride was smooth, the air conditioning was wonderful in the Vegas heat, and you can even choose the lighting ambiance inside the vehicle while listening to either the built-in music or your own phone. The only downside was figuring out the pickup location. If you've never used the service before, you may find yourself wandering around for a few minutes trying to find the correct pickup spot. As for the museum itself, the tickets were not inexpensive, but I felt they were a fair value considering the experience and the opportunity to see genuine Titanic artifacts that most people will never have the chance to see in person. Seeing "The Big Piece" alone made the visit worthwhile. One thing that surprised me was the atmosphere. I've walked through the Luxor many times and have never personally felt anything despite all the haunted stories people tell. The moment we stepped into the Titanic exhibit, though, my entire chest tightened. Whether it was the music, the lighting, or simply the weight of the history surrounding those artifacts, the feeling caught me completely off guard. The exhibit itself is immersive, with photographs, music, recreated spaces, and historical information that really helps you imagine what life aboard the ship was like. At the beginning, each visitor receives a boarding card with the name and story of a real passenger or crew member. At the end of the exhibit, you discover that person's fate and see their photograph. It was such a simple idea, but it made the experience feel much more personal and emotional. If you enjoy history, I would absolutely recommend visiting at least once. It was thoughtful, respectful, educational, and genuinely moving. I'm glad we went, and it's an experience my wife and I will remember for a long time.

    The exhibit is inside the Luxor and is a decent exhibit. There are some artifacts in there, but…read moremany of the items are recreations. It tells a good story and like the other places, you do get a character card when you come in so that you can follow them through the journey. Overall, it was great for a Titanic enthusiast that wants to be in the same space as some real artifacts and learn some of the deeper passenger stories. It is a little pricey for what you get so beware of that. The entire walk-through took us about 30 minutes.

    "The Big Part" raised from the Atlantic on display in the Luxor.  The whole exhibit was remarkable.  A definite must see in Vegas
