    We followed a recommendation from someone, thinking nothing of it. I thought it was amazing, and I really like the interactive elements like the picture-taking feature and the exhibits. I also enjoyed how they featured more contemporary gangs and cartels.

    Any Back to the Future fans in the house? They have a sign used in Biff's place in BTTF2! This was a really fun place to visit! We opted for the historical tour guide and glad we did- wish we could have seen the movie tour, but it was just TOO late for our east coast selves. We set the tour for 30 minutes after sunset and it was perfect. I was surprised how HOT it was- 112 degrees, plus the heat from the lights, so be sure to bring water. I would definitely encourage you to attend and support this non-profit in restoring signs and preserving history. With a Guide, it took about 45 minutes to tour. No professional cameras, but cell phone photo/video ok.

    This was a top pick on our list. We really wanted to see this!

    When you go in, they give you a "boarding pass" for one of the passengers that was actually on the ship. It tells you a little about the person, in what class they traveled and a QR code. At the end, there is a place to scan the code to find out if you lived.

    This was informative and interesting. You need to understand that my son gets bored with museums pretty quick. He really enjoyed this. That is awesome!

    There were items from all the class accommodations with little signs telling you about the items - "this is a salt cellar from first class", for example. But there were also things there that absolutely blew my mind! There were items that were wrapped in paper that are still intact with the paper around it still. I find it amazing that the paper was still there!

    The "big piece" is just that....and then there is the diagram showing where it was on the boat....just WOW!

    I have seen a review somewhere comparing this to a thrift store. I don't know what that person expected to see from a sunken ship, but at no point did I get "thrift store". Most people were very respectful - there were a few older teens running which was distracting.

    Quotes from passengers posted all thru the exhibit - some made me cry. Information on how some people ended up on Titanic - that was interesting and new.

    There are plenty of new machines to try as well as your old favorites. This is a pay-as-you-go rather than a pay-one-price venue, in contrast to many pinball halls. Though I'm not a big fan, I can see why. Most devices that are over ten years old cost fifty cents, but most modern devices cost one dollar. Another issue with this location is that it lacks a pleasant hangout vibe.

    This was our favorite tour out of 5 my daughter and I visited! It was awesome and I highly recommend! I like that there is video to go along with the room! Loved the real artifacts!

    My only complaint is the website currently says as of August 2024 that the tour takes 2 hours that needs updating it took 3 hours. We prepaid online for the RIP tour and got there 15 minutes before our booked time of 1pm. There was only one person checking people in. People in front of us had already obviously paid, but we’re standing around filling out their waiver on a tablet. A couple people in front of us also did not pay online so we got stuck behind these groups when we already had our tickets.

    Website says 20 people in the building. There were at least two groups besides us and we had to wait sometimes for those groups to leave a room. Once we finally showed our tickets we had to wait again outside. Finally get inside and had to wait inside again for many reasons but mostly to coax people into buying the RIP tour so we waited for that, meanwhile, two other people slipped in making our group 12so the rules had to be gone over again. Again, I had my booking for 1 PM if it was two hours I should’ve been out of there by 3 PM instead I didn’t get out of there until after 4pm and barely had time to get to my 5 o’clock booking.

    I would’ve loved to give a 5 star rating because this place is that awesome but had to go with 4 because of the waiting when we already had tickets! While those people were completing their waivers, we could’ve been waited on and been inside sooner

    There are 2 choices - you can go in and look at the cars for free. Or, you can pay ($59, I think) to take a guided tour - this comes with a gift bag with Shelby merchandise in it. We opted for the free tour. My girls had absolutely no interest in this, but hubby, son and I really enjoyed it! Beautiful cars. Great info. Totally suggest this! If you're not into cars, there are some benches to sit on while you wait - they are inside, so out of the weather. There is a shop where you can buy Shelby merch - t-shirts were $30, so not totally outrageous.

    And, I'd just like to say that if any of the owners of those vehicles (some are on loan) feel generous and wanted to let me drive one of these for a little bit that would be ok with me!!

    First, I can't say I was super interested in this exhibit. The family wanted to go, so we did - turns out it was very interesting!

    It was interesting. If you think you might be interested in how we work, this is for you. These are REAL bodies. They do ask you to be respectful, which is fair. A lot of information. There is a reproductive area, but if you think this is not something you can do, they offer a place to go around it.

    There are a few pieces that are veins and vessels that were injected with some type of polymer. So what you are looking at is a web showing circulation, and it sounds odd to say this, but they were beautiful. The arm shows how much circulation there is in your fingertips - who knew!

    We walked to the museum from the Strip. It was interesting to visit, giving lots of information about Las Vegas's role in atomic testing. It's self guided.

    There is a small, independent admission charge for the new display. Well worth the additional few bucks is this. It was really warm today. Now, there are just two species on display. As soon as the temperature cools down, more will be added. Nevertheless, while my two hours there, around 700 butterflies amused the tiny number of guests! TWO HOURS? Well, I had fun while watching and taking pictures from the ground. I doubt I would have liked it nearly as much if I had gone there on the weekend or on a holiday. In a few weeks, when they add additional species, I'll return. A pleasant

    An incredible walk through the Windsor royal family and the history of Diana and her marriage to Charles. It shows her style, character, and who she tried to be as a person.

    This is a really cool place. There are tons of different rooms to explore, and the whole place is really pretty. My husband and I had a blast. The deduction of rating is for two things: the advertising makes it look better than it really is (although it is really beautiful and psychedelic), and the cost/value. It is a really unique experience, and I would suggest others check it out themselves as we had a lot of fun.

    Jonathan gave my wife and I a very in-depth tour of the Liberace Collection at Thriller Villa. His passion was evident as he detailed everything from Liberace’s birth through his entire life. We learned so much over the course of 3 hours.

    The collection is amazing. There is so much to see and Jonathan’s narration added to the enjoyment.
    Seeing the elaborate costumes brought back many memories I have of Liberace’s flamboyance and showmanship.

    In addition to Liberace, there was much knowledge shared about Liberace’s family, how he got started in Chicago and his residency in Las Vegas among so many other things.

    The home is impressive. Knowing that Michael Jackson lived here as he prepared for his Vegas residency added yet another interesting element. I highly recommend this tour!

    We’ve visited most of the attractions on the strip and beyond in the city. This one is special.The exhibits are incredibly fascinating and fun. It took us well over an hour to tour the place. What made it most special, and quite distinct from most Vegas attractions, are the employee /guides who assist you on your journey. They not only explain what you’re seeing, they explain how to see the exhibits, and will guide you to how to experience some of the more interesting and complex ones. And then they’ll take a picture for you on your phone. Simply amazing! While the cost may seem a bit high, for the value received its at the top of my list for Vegas attractions.
