    Great Titanic Exhibit
    First I am a big Titanic aficionado I have been to the museum in Halifax that has a great Titanic exhibition with a lot of original artifacts. This was on par in terms of history and with the audio visual component and life of a passenger experience well worth the price of a ticket although overpriced compared to a museum. Outstanding recreation of the staircase and actual recovered part of the hull, not something I know exists outside this exhibit. A don’t miss if you are interested in the Titanic or just just an experience.

    You Need to Get Off the Strip to Learn about Stripping
    The small specialty museum might not have impressed were it not for the energy and enthusiasm of the docent, Jeffery. He knew the history of Burlesque inside and out and also enriched our tour with some special stories of the history of how the museum got its start in the desert and was later transported to Las Vegas. Since Airchef’s wife is a former ecdysiast, this was amazing to see so many of the stars of the striptease honored here. The cost is minimal and the experience amazing, especially if you get Jeffery

    Definitely take some time to check out his little aviation museum if you have the time
    If you're in McCarran airport and have some time to spare, this baby museum is packed with tons of Las Vegas aviation history.

    The displays are educational and each one is packed with lots of reading to keep you busy. The visuals included pilot uniforms, airport and airplane parts artifacts, tons of vintage black and white aviation pictures. This is a nice little stop if you have about 15-30 minutes to spare. The readings are definitely more interesting than the displays themself.

    The C & D gate TSA entrances are close by and can be seen from the museum. It's definitely worth checking out once if you're in the McCarran airport. Safe travels!

    I was glad I made the stop.
    Worth a stop if you are into such things. Fair amount of content. Decent layout and housed clearly in the right structure. I almost skipped the VR Tour included but am glad I didn’t. It’s a good recap if once again, you really have any interest in such dry topics.

    LVShowgirl
    OMG OMG OMG. That’s all I gotta say. This is the absolute BEST and most NOT TO MISS museum in Vegas. Yes I know there’s the mob museum but this showgirl museum is even better. They got a million dollar dress in there as well as showgirl costumes from the original showgirl shows in Las Vegas including Jubilee, Hello Hollywood, Follies Bregeire, Lido, Splash, and so much more! It’s so amazing to see! They also have a lot of donations from former famous burlesque dancers and SUPERSTARS! They have a Liza Minelli, Cher, and even a BLANK dress (she is from Supergirl.).

    I used to be a showgirl and Blue Belle in the original Jubilee in Las Vegas. (Which was the best in my opinion!) Bigger and better they say! Haven’t ever seen another show even come close and that’s including Lido and Moulin Rouge in Paris. Sorry not sorry. The stage isn’t as big and there are less people. All the costumes here are amazing and definitely worth your trip to see! Hello Bob Mackie! Do not miss it! Make sure to go to the website and email and reserve tickets in advance. Absolutely love this place and the fact that it’s keeping the showgirl and more important the original amazing authentic original showgirl costumes alive! This should be your number one stop!

    If they had a bigger space and restaurant/bar beside it they could have champagne girls and maybe a photo op with showgirls. Just a suggestion. Could be huge!

    Love this whole display. For the NEW generation that see; for when they open up a big museum would be great to have whoever is featured (in the photo frames now) a little history and what they brought to the showgirl world or actress / burlesque world. A lot of people who are not in that industry probably have no clue and would be cool to see like a history plaque beside each one, where is the costume from, or if it was a person who wore it, what did she/he/they do, and what did they do to make that industry bigger.

    This is a wonderful place and to me one of the best places to visit while in Vegas. Be sure to not miss out!

    Great collection of Boy scout, Girl Scout, and international Scouting
    This curation of great scouting memorabilia covers scouting from around the world including BSA, Girl Scouts/guides and more.

    Having every council represented and every Scouting award through the beginning is most impressive!

    Plan on an hour or two and make reservations before you come. Entry is @$10 a person but well worth it.

    84 countries are represented and this is a must for any scout or Scouter while the visit Las Vegas.

    Cool little spy museum section with spy artifacts.
    Great place to check out the newest spy gadgets. Has something for everyone! Old retired spy gadgets in their museum section as well as new spy gadgets who want to stay on top of the game. Novelty stuff for kids, self defense product, listening devices, GPS trackers, nanny cams, swords, lie detectors, theft detection, etc. Fun little store for those who are into the spy world!

    Exceeded expectations
    Decided to kill some time so thought we'd check out a few cars. Wow, were we surprised!
    Mr. Goldstrom has not only Hotrods but quite a selection of other memorabilia as well.
    If your a gearhead and in Vegas, I highly recommend the VIP tour.
