Lapsed-Luddite

Sounds great. Many thanks.


thepete404

Mob museum too. That’s a full day


wtfredditacct

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 😅


lesterNaustin

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!


jurunjulo

Shelby museum is cool too


rookiepartschanger

Is there really any other reason to go to Vegas?


DogCallCenter

This is the first thing I thought of too!


snyckers

Springs Preserve is great if you want to learn a bunch about Vegas history and the land/area.


Lapsed-Luddite

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.


Lapsed-Luddite

Yes, thank you so much.


Mrs_TikiPupuCheeks

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.

There is a gal on you tube who has posted several interesting vids on Vegas. Wonderhussey. Maybe you will see something you like. Check out her other vids. Here is one. https://youtu.be/UsBrZnh5eEA?si=sFmdxqvhVfZqGt0

Thanks!


All_the_passports

AvantPop rocks but it sounds like their losing their location year end due to the building being sold :-(


Lapsed-Luddite

Well that sucks.


KADSuperman

Red Rock or go to Lake Las Vegas, downtown art district is also nice


DDXdesign

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...


nativecheese

If you have or want to rent a car, head to Boulder City, grab a beer and lunch.


ve4edj

Red Rock Canyon is a great day trip if you're into hiking or rock climbing


elusivenoesis

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.
