    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 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?

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Emeri H.

    This was a cool museum! It was a bit of a ways down the strip for us to walk, but it was a nice day. It feels like a small building, but the setup does have many rooms and a very smooth transition from room to room. The bodies are very cool and it's very educational how things are labeled and that they are REAL people! Some of the displays are quite artistic. I really enjoyed walking through this exhibit! It felt like the covid was noted, like we stayed away from everyone else, but it wasn't like crazy precaution. There were some interesting covid facts around as well which was informative! I'd recommend if you're in the area and you're intrigued by medical stuff, take some time to participate in this experience. I think we spent a little over an hour here, I did feel like it was worth what we paid for the tickets!

    This review is for the Arte Museum in Las Vegas. I have…read moremixed emotions about this review because it was an interesting concept and had some enjoyable features, but as I left I felt it fell flat overall. Here it goes: This is not easy to find - check prior to heading over to ensure you know where you are going. The price is not cheap for the small size of the Museum. If you add a taxi/UBER/LYFT to get there it may be too pricy for the end product. It is your money - you decide. Once inside after checking in, there are several rooms you enter in a self-guided manner. The flow of the walking is ONE direction. Therefore, if you felt like you wanted to see something again, you would be going against traffic. If you have issues with vertigo or balance, this is perhaps not the Museum for you. There is lots of glass and things moving against tiles and glass and we found ourselves stopping to catch our balance a couple of times. In some rooms, prior to entering, although there are signs up saying "do not block doorway" everyone did trying to get pictures or videos making it hard to enter. There were not any staff inside the Museum directing people accordingly. Also, some of the guests were actually sitting on the floor to take videos of themselves as if they were sitting in water - this only created a road block for those who were trying to move on. Each room is unique and some are more "active" and larger in size than others. There is one area where you can color a page, scan it in, and it will become part of the animation. We waited 10 minutes for a seat to participate and none became available, so we left that area disappointed. The cafe, as other reviewers have noted, was a disappointment. They showcase it on their website as something very much different than it is. The man working the cafe counter the day we were there evidentially did not enjoy his job. I don't know why he stays if he is that unhappy. The cafe indicates: A feast of live garnish expressed with media art on attractive drink and dessert menus. I guess we missed this part! LOL! The latte we were served was about 1/3 of a cup - if we would have poured it out into a measuring cup. For $7 that is not worth it - pass on that folks. There is a sign on the cafe table indicating you can use it (after you have purchased items there) for 10 minutes. And they mean it!! A very small bottle of what they call "rainwater" was $5.00. Who in the world would buy that - but we saw people with it. Maybe they got it for a souvenir? Speaking of the souvenir shop: It was unique - there were many items priced under $10 or $15. So, if you really wanted something, you could find something at a reasonable price. I would check out the videos people have posted on YouTube to decide if this is worth the investment for yourself. We were in and out in an hour to give you an idea of how much you are spending for an hour of your 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.

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.

She went ahead and bought tickets on line for the Mob Museum. We chose to go on a Tuesday, the fewer people the better for us. Parking was $8. This is right down there by the Old Downtown, Fremont, the Nugget. Fact that this building was a Courtroom and Post Office. The layout was very well done starting on the top/3rd floor with beginning of the the crooks and then the town. Each floor has its own notoriety in the time frame/ era. The displays are informative, a lot of reading. Tour guide headsets are available too, we found the docents were very knowledgable. I asked them if they knew where the term "86ed" came from? There are quit a few "actual items", the St Valentines Day Wall...some Tommy sub-machine guns, and other bits and bob's of stuff. I didn't see any wax figurines of the bad guys for photo op's. They did take Pic's in a Line Up setting $15-$35 depending. No actual cars or vehicles, I like the tactile stuff. I guess Bonnie & Clyde don't qualify. Certainly the Mob Hall is a fun, once is enough venue to see. We made sure to stop at the speak easy in the basement.
