    We visited in the evening, it gets very very busy but worth seeing. The music is great and the choreography is stunning and soundtrack is fantastic

    We visited Freemont Street a couple of times while in Las Vegas. It made a change from The Strip and the atmosphere and entertainment on the street was good.
    There are plenty of places to get drinks and enjoy the music and light show.
    It is definitely different to The Strip but glad we went.

    Really outstanding place to visit. Can easily spend half a day or more here, especially with a short hike or two. The 13-mile drive is great, but get out and experience the flora, fauna and sights - beyond the vehicle.

    Each hotel in Vegas seems to have something to draw you in and this one is stunning.
    A fairly small space it can be very crowed with people all trying to get their photos but it's worth taking the time to marvel at these beautiful floral creations.

    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.

    Hoover Dam is a must if you in the area. It’s remarkable. You can park your RV and there is no cost. The views are so good. Very hot day we were there. Take lots of water, hat and sunscreen.
    I would highly recommend

    Pretty standard Vegas outlet, lots of stores and a couple food options. Parking is not bad if you go to the garage but be careful in there. The area is not so great, like if you go the only thing you can do is stay inside the outlet parts. I prefer south outlets.

    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.

    Iconic sign which you feel you have to go see and take a photo with, glad to say I did it.
    However, it was a lot further away from where we were staying on the strip then expected, would have been a long, hot walk in the sun, thankfully caught the Deuce bus down there and was able to hop straight back on another bus going up.
    There is usually a line up to take photos directly under the sign but we just hopped on the side and quickly took a picture.

    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

    So much fun stuff all in one place! Candy store, food, photo opportunities! Cooling/misting stations throughout. I think this is a must for visiting. Not crowded! Great shopping.

    Beautiful views and hiking trails for all levels of hikers! Little Falls Trail is a relatively easy hike and the waterfall at the end is gorgeous! Also, Mount Charleston is an easy drive from Vegas and it is significantly cooler up there especially in the morning. It does get crowded on the weekends, so go early if you can. Very nice Visitor’s Center too!
