There are plenty of traditional museums in and around
Las Vegas; however, a more diverse experience awaits. The
Neon Museum celebrates bright buzzing bulbs with more
than 250 neon signs, all rescued from shuttered casinos, hotels
and restaurants. Guided tours and a sound and light show
offer insight into the history of each sign. At night, two dozen
signs are turned on and others dramatically lit for guests.
The stark reality of the mob-and its presence in Las
Vegas and elsewhere-comes alive at the The Mob
Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and
Law Enforcement. Beyond a collection of more than 2,000
artifacts, the museum offers a number of hands-on
experiences like listening to actual wire taps and a Firearm
Training Simulator.
For more than 40 years, nuclear weapons were detonated
so close to Las Vegas that, during the 1950s and '60s,
mushroom clouds were visible from the Strip. The National
Atomic Testing Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, highlights
70 years of nuclear testing with simulations, replicas, and
actual reactors and backpack nukes.

Set to a soundtrack that includes works by Pavarotti, the
Beatles, Lady Gaga and, of course, Frank Sinatra, the
Bellagio Hotel's dancing fountains are a symphony of light,
music and motion. Even better, the show, which runs every
30 minutes or so from 3 p.m. (noon on weekends) until
midnight, is free.
When it was completed in 1935, the Hoover Dam was
Hoover Dam
Views aboard a balloon ride
the largest structure of its kind in the world. Your AAA
Travel Advisor can help arrange a tour of the dam and its
powerplant, where you can walk through the original
construction tunnels, view the Colorado River through a
ventilation shaft and hear the stories behind the sculptures
that decorate various parts of the dam.
If you've ever wanted to see the Vegas area from above,
consider Viator's hot air balloon tour. About an hour from
the Strip, take off from the Mojave Desert and soar over the
Pahrump Valley absorbing the stunning desert and
mountain scenery. For a different view of the Mojave, head
to Red Rock Canyon, which occupies the eastern edge of
the desert and is known for its rich historical background,
diverse ecological profile and unique geology. The area can
be explored via SUV or on the miles of hiking trails that
loop through the canyon.
