It's just a great place to stop and recall your youth! Check out the kitchens! There's much to see and they offer special programs. One of my favorite is the pow wow. We hope to get there during the holidays this year as they decorate the town! Admission is extremely affordable. Nice place to spend the day with something for... More

Where can you get anything worthwhile for $2? Clark County Museum fills the bill. There's an excellent indoor display depicting the history of the Las Vegas area, and outdoors, there's a nature walk through the desert followed by numerous historical artifacts and buildings to browse though. The street containing homes depicting life in Nevada in the first half of the... More

The outdoor exhibits were the most unusual: an old train station with a train, 'frontier' type buildings, old farm and industrial machines, and entire furnished houses from different eras that you could walk through. Seemed like a great place for kids, because they could move around while looking at things. Inside, there were historical exhibits, from paleontology through native american... More

We stopped here because the curator is our favorite 'expert' on Pawn Stars. The museum is small but nice. Especially liked the display of Native American bead work. Beautiful! We didn't spend much time at the outdoor exhibits, but there was plenty of room for kids to roam and explore. And at $1-$2 for admission, you can't go wrong. More

Entry is $2, or $1 if you are a senior and they offer an indoor history exhibit of Clark County with neat old pioneer artifacts, indian stuff, etc...then you walk... More

Take some time to visit the very nice Clark County Museum in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas. The fee is only $2, a bargain in this overpriced, hidden-charge-loving town. The museum is threadbare in spots, but overall a very nice presentation of Southern Nevada's recent history. A re-created residential street is the main attraction, with mostly original residences from... More

We visited the Clark County Heritage Museum in Early April. It was well worth the admission ($2 for adults, $1 for seniors (50 and over) and children. Before we knew it we were there almost two hours. There was lots to see and easy to do at your own pace. A few of the buildings weren't open but I would... More

This musuem is a great place for young & old. The authentic era housing is amazing - old mining town - vegas wedding chapel - old train depot - plus the museum itself. They also have events including indian pow-wows. The fee is very affordable and a worthwhile visit. If you live here - you must go. If you are... More

I mainly went there hoping to see Mark Hall who appears as one of the "experts" on Pawn Stars, but found out he usually is not there on weekends. So I looked around a bit and it was still fun to see and photograph some of the items that have appeared on Pawn Stars episodes. I am not sure how... More
