    Tom Devlin spent over 2 decades working in special effects and his museum is a testament to his talent. I don't always do the best with haunted houses so I was nervous going in but the exhibits are so interesting I couldn't help getting sucked into each and every one. The amount of items was incredible and I spent far too long looking at everything available in the gift shop. I can't wait to go back!

    This was a fun place, especially as horror movie fan. From my family, It wasn't exactly a full "monster" museum, as the name suggested, but my family wanted to see more monsters like Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and other "monsters". That being said, its movie monster displays were great and better than expected. Still, it was well lit, some great movie props, and the behind the scenes video at the end was entertaining.

    Cute little kitsch museum. If you enjoy horror movies, then you will probably like this museum. Tickets are a little pricey

    Popped in here trying to kill some time. The staff was friendly and very informative. The museum was quick but very entertaining if your into horror. They even have a cinema and many photo opportunities. The price was only $20 for a ticket. You can take as many photos as you like as long as there is no flash. Def check this place out!

    Was fun. Nostalgic to see all the old scary movie creatures. Great spot to stop and see.

    This has been on my list of things to do for almost a decade now. Finally was able to make my way to it and it was definitely a cool exibit. There is a lot of movie history here which is very cool. The museum itself is dark, a little old and run down. While I appreciated all of the artifacts and movie information they had on the wall, I would say the $20 entry fee is pretty high for what it is. It is very dark inside which gives it a good vibe but in some parts it takes away from the experience because it is hard to read the information they have posted around. This is not an interactive exibit which could be good for those who fear things jumping out at them. Overall definitely worth experiencing at least once if you are in the area, but I probably won't be back unless they do some updates.

    Awesome collection!! Definitely must see. Service was quick, informative. $20 wasn't bad for what they have on display. Wasn't scary nothing jumps out you.

    Every time we're out in Vegas, we make the extra trip out to see this museum and we are never disappointed. Each time I've gone. It has been different and this time I absolutely loved the way they have it. It did go up in price so that was a little bummer, so much to see in there so much to look at if you love horror and all things creepy this is definitely a place you should check out if you're in Vegas area

    Yvette S.

    If you're like me, someone into all things horror, creepy, crazy and weird then this is your place to be! I highly recommend coming here and check out the museum in the back of the gift shop. Entrance fee into the museum lets you go at your own pace. Once you're done with your tour enjoy the gift shop, small arcade and free movie screening room. Parking onsite with plenty of photo ops. Gentlemen working the counter was awesome and engaging! I can't rave enough how AWESOME this place is!!

    We had so much fun here yesterday! Definitely worth it to stop !! We will be back ! Such friendly staff and love the gift shop

    If you grew up in the 1970's-1990's eras, and watching VHS/DVD Horror Movies was/is your weekly passion, this is a must see, FUN little museum! Also has a unique gift shop and small arcade. Self guided, allow 1 hour to take it all in. About 45 minutes from the strip, it's worth the trip. Located in the inviting town of Boulder City, in itself makes for a pleasant 1 day side trip from your LV stay: lots to experience, museums, shops, some hiking and unique parks, vintage public pool, interesting restaurants nearby like the China Bistro, S.W. Diner, Tap Room,etc. The Hoover Dam tour just a few minutes away. On either way, try to ignore the endless sprawl of Henderson, it's planning/zoning dept. successfully made the city as unsightly as possible (it can't be accidental). Endless traffic, a dreary mismash of auto parts stores, gas stations, malls, strip malls, mini malls, convenience stores, banal "locals" casinos' and every corporate chain possible. Top it off with miles of "planned communities" bereft of any charm. 300,000 lucky residents and more on their way.

    Yikes!

In our case, I am a local, I went with my 5 year old grandson and my 81 year old friend. I had a chose of not going in or paying "VIP" PRICING -- $82 per ticket, no local discount, no age discount. What do you get? Shorter line to get in -- for a moment -- then you merge with everyone else. 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.

    ********HIDDEN GEM****in Centennial *************************…read more The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum is tucked into a ritzy part of Centennial just a couple minute ride near Centennial Center with the Trader Joe's and Total Wine and all those restaurants. Right here in Centennial is this major Art Museum with all kinds of Mixed Media. It's a lot of modern art, bronze works, and more. There is a lot to see. Even the doors are works of art by the late artist Rita Deanin Abby. It's very hard to believe that one artist did so many works. My photos are only a small amount of what there is to see and there are also several larger than life sculptors outside to see too. I was very surprised on the extra nice hospitality of the people working there. As soon as we entered we were greeted and were told a short story about the artist. We walked around a while and saw all the indoor works displayed. I heard that these aren't even all the artist's works and they rotate some of the pieces. Our first trip here was on Ruth's Birthday Week with free admission and someone there generously gave us a poster of one of the artist's works. It's normally $20. admission but first Saturday of the month is free admission with free tickets that you can get on-line.

The experience as a whole is absolutely free, but donations are welcomed.

At the end of this wonderful experience, we were invited to sign the visitors guest book that is filled with signatures from visitors from all over the country, which was pretty cool. And at the absolute very end, me and the kiddos were instructed to pick up a gemstone and head over to the large dinosaur egg located in the front yard and toss our stones in to make a wish. We were informed that the wish granting rate was roughly around 90% so choose your words wisely and be careful what you wish for because it just might come true. I thought to myself "what an amazing way to end things, you know"... to remind the kiddos that there's still a little bit of magic left in the world. I think that's a great sentiment. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and if I had to sum it up in one word, it would "Dino-mite".... And yes, pun intended.
