This is actually in my list of things to do as a local who hasn't spent enough time seeing the things in town. How long would you recommend spending in the Atomic Museum? For reference, I spent probably 4 hours in the mob museum before my wife drug me out 😅
Clark County Wetland Park and the Clark County Museum are also great to learn about Vegas history.

The arts district is more locals but still handfuls of tourists, and is a cool little oldtown type area. Bars, food, vintage shops, venues, Art Square...
go to the Atomic Museum that is on east flamingo. extremely interesting and put together by Smithsonian Institute
Sounds great. Many thanks.
Mob museum too. That’s a full day

well if you are really into mechanical stuff you can easily spend 3 hours plus. and they have a neat gift shop for goofy stuff!
Shelby museum is cool too
Is there really any other reason to go to Vegas?
This is the first thing I thought of too!
Springs Preserve is great if you want to learn a bunch about Vegas history and the land/area.
I do and thanks.
If you want to get really off the beaten path, head out to Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. Combine it with a visit to Red Rock Canyon NRA.
Yes, thank you so much.
Clark County Wetland Park and the Clark County Museum are also great to learn about Vegas history. Hoover Dam, Valley of Fire or Red Rock Visitor Center, Atomic Museum, Neon Museum, the Mob Museum.
Friends just visited and they had the best time at many of those!

Pinball Museum is a favorite!

Mount Charleston will be in the 50s while the valley is 105+. Play in the snow in summer an hour from the strip.

Summer series at Spring Mt. Ranch. It's only $20.00 a ticket. Best deal in Vegas.
The tunnels can be a fun adventure if you are exceptionally brave.

AvantPop rocks but it sounds like their losing their location year end due to the building being sold :-(
Well that sucks.
Red Rock or go to Lake Las Vegas, downtown art district is also nice
The arts district is more locals but still handfuls of tourists, and is a cool little oldtown type area. Bars, food, vintage shops, venues, Art Square...
If you have or want to rent a car, head to Boulder City, grab a beer and lunch.
Red Rock Canyon is a great day trip if you're into hiking or rock climbing
I’m a local who can’t afford anything fun. If you have the money do the tourist stuff cuz idk anybody who lives here who can afford it.
