First, there is the Antique Collection museum. Located at downtown Las Vegas, this museum packs a lot of authentic antiques. These include the private railcar owned by Louisa May Alcott, a fireplace used in the Prestwick Castle in Scotland, as well as the bronze doors of the Kuwait Royal Bank and even the Berlin Wall.
The Bellagio Hotel is another well known hotel in the Las Vegas Strip. A large hotel, with over 3,933 rooms and suites, it has among its offerings a rejuvenating spa, and a salon to bring out the best in you. It has a five-star restaurant, manned by award-winning chefs. You can enjoy excellent food, whether your choice may be contemporary dining, casual dining and gourmet. It even offers edible works of art, made by one of its chefs. However, one exciting feature about the Bellagio is the Bellagio Conservatory, where you can see fresh and live flowers. It is located in the Atrium, where you can see the plants at whatever hour and at no cost.
Next, we move on to the Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace, located at the center of the Las Vegas strip. The museum can be accessed by riding the hotel’s elevator to the fifth floor. There, you may find Elvis Presley’s 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. The museum also has the world’s largest collection of vehicles built between 1925 and 1937. Entry to the museum costs US$6.95.
You would definitely want to check out the Atomic Testing museum, which houses artifacts of the many different atomic bomb testings beneath the southern Nevada desert. In the museum, you will old film footage as well as photographs of mushroom clouds, which were promoted as an attraction by the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce in order to keep customers unafraid of the atomic bomb tests occurring just 65 miles northwest of the entertainment center of the United States. You can also read about the experiences of the many people who worked at the site and those who witnessed the mushroom clouds, as well as an actual, deactivated bomb. It costs US$12 to enter the museum, which is open 9 am to 5 pm during Mondays until Saturdays, and from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sundays.
