What travelers are saying
- LSUTravellerWatson, LA1,906 contributionsReally 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.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ri U3 contributionsWe 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.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jellybean641tn27 contributionsAny 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.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ruth E3 contributionsThere 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.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- D WLas Vegas, NV16 contributionsBeautiful 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!Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- QuigglesHavre, MT14 contributionsThere are 2 choices - you can go in and look at the cars for free. Or, you can pay ($59, I think) to take a guided tour - this comes with a gift bag with Shelby merchandise in it. We opted for the free tour. My girls had absolutely no interest in this, but hubby, son and I really enjoyed it! Beautiful cars. Great info. Totally suggest this! If you're not into cars, there are some benches to sit on while you wait - they are inside, so out of the weather. There is a shop where you can buy Shelby merch - t-shirts were $30, so not totally outrageous.
And, I'd just like to say that if any of the owners of those vehicles (some are on loan) feel generous and wanted to let me drive one of these for a little bit that would be ok with me!!Written August 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was interesting to visit, giving lots of information about Las Vegas's role in atomic testing. It's self guided.Written November 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Broker T10 contributionsThere is a small, independent admission charge for the new display. Well worth the additional few bucks is this. It was really warm today. Now, there are just two species on display. As soon as the temperature cools down, more will be added. Nevertheless, while my two hours there, around 700 butterflies amused the tiny number of guests! TWO HOURS? Well, I had fun while watching and taking pictures from the ground. I doubt I would have liked it nearly as much if I had gone there on the weekend or on a holiday. In a few weeks, when they add additional species, I'll return. A pleasantWritten August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- matthewsJ2596IHWinnipeg, Canada274 contributionsYou can depend on this place for big portions and a fair value. Service is hit and miss and sure the place is a bit dated but the food is delicious and fresh. Great on site brewery/bar that does get full quickly some days.

- JillNew Jersey762 contributionsSome really cool spots. We got a few $5 shirts at the consignment/vintage shop. Not everything was open and the weather wasn't optimal, but it was still a good time. Be sure to check out the preying mantis out front, he puts on a really cool show at night!Written April 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Passenger361309164081 contributionWhat a great experience! My son and I had a blast. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Dollar for dollar it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had in Las Vegas.Written June 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarkVirginia Beach, VA59 contributionsJonathan gave my wife and I a very in-depth tour of the Liberace Collection at Thriller Villa. His passion was evident as he detailed everything from Liberace’s birth through his entire life. We learned so much over the course of 3 hours.
The collection is amazing. There is so much to see and Jonathan’s narration added to the enjoyment.
Seeing the elaborate costumes brought back many memories I have of Liberace’s flamboyance and showmanship.
In addition to Liberace, there was much knowledge shared about Liberace’s family, how he got started in Chicago and his residency in Las Vegas among so many other things.
The home is impressive. Knowing that Michael Jackson lived here as he prepared for his Vegas residency added yet another interesting element. I highly recommend this tour!Written February 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie GElliot Lake, Canada2 contributionsHarrison Burns was the best instructor. He was so knowledeable and his instructions were awesome. He was very patient with my son and always had clear communication to my son and myself ( the mom ) 😎 Great sense of humor. I was taking a video and he made sure to let me take a great shot at the end with my son holding the gun. He called me the papparazzi...lol.
