It is a FUN and educational place to visit for locals and tourists of all ages!  Be amazed and entertained - and learn something interesting and important at the same time!  - It is located smack in the famous, gorgeous Spring Preserve area actually. Therefore, you can enjoy BOTH places for ONE admission price!  - One can spend a couple... More

Connected to the also-worth-visiting Springs Preserve botanical gardens in Las Vegas, the new Nevada State Museum location in Vegas is very well done. The relatively small space is chock full of Southern Nevada items and information. Anyone who has an interest in the conversion of Las Vegas from a "carpet joint" location to a major tourist destination will enjoy the... More

Las vegas zoo is an embarassment. this museum is okay, but it is only open a couple of day a week. The city does not spend money on thing to entertain, they let the casinos do that.

We visit Las Vegas regularly to spend time with family. As we don't gamble and can only attend so many shows, we were anxious to find an attraction to fill an afternoon. The recently opened Nevada State Museum was a great find. It's location in the northwest quadrant of the city may be a problem for those without cars but... More

While I'm sure that most visitors to Vegas have better things to do with their time than visit a museum ... especially a museum located far off The Strip, if you can spare a few hours from the slots and black-jack tables and shows, do pay a visit to this museum ... where you might actually learn something!
