Very Interesting

We stopped at this museum on a recent trip to Vegas (11/10) and were pleasantly surprised. My husband is a big history buff and I thought I would take him there as a surprise. He thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the history of America and how Las Vegas played a part in that. I enjoyed the museum and history is not really my thing. They have a ton of information and artifacts in this museum.

We weren't sure if any of the busses went there so we took a cab there as it was a little ways off the Strip. Museum staff had cab company numbers available to get a return ride to the Strip and the cab was there within minutes. This was a great history lesson and I would recommend it for everyone.

Atomic Testing Museum! WOW!

This is a great Museum! It is very interesting. I really liked how it was set up (very visual). I do not usually like museum's, but this one is great. It was set up where you could spend just as much time as you wanted. I would like to go again! Would Highly Recommend!
