| - I adore museums--you could probably put a placard on a hoard of trash and it would elicit at least three stars from me. This museum, however, exceeded the wildest expectations for the history lover/cultural studies major in me. My family and I stayed over three hours and we could not possibly have covered all the detail inside the exhibits in that time. My brain got tired with all the information around every corner.
It was worth the $10 locals admission price. However, it was a bit crowded (being Labor Day, I suppose) and I would have liked a little more space to not feel as rushed throughout the exhibit. Good thing I became a member for only $15 more so that I can go back throughout the year for free and do more exploring.
Some of the displays, however, did not have explanations by them. It was a few times throughout but I am remembering one towards the end of the museum that was a display of clothes and artifacts but had zero explanation of what they were.
Some of the museum is pretty graphic, and not just in the "graphic content" section, which is something to be cognizant of. I thought that I was pretty strong when it comes to seeing pulverized human remains, but I was not, and I pretty much went lightning speed through that section.
A definite stop on a more "cultured" Las Vegas visit, though perhaps not on a holiday.
