  • Hands down the geekiest thing you'll ever do in Vegas. Hoover Dam or the Pinball Hall of Fame have nothing on this museum. This is Ground Zero for nerds, geeks, and anyone old enough who remembers what a Fallout Shelter was or did duck-and-cover drills in grade school. Yeah, that includes me. Full of Smithsonian-quality artifacts, dioramas, installations, videos, full-size mock-ups, plaques and even a small theater that brings nuclear detonation as close to you being there as you'll probably ever want to get. The museum presentation is encyclopedic without getting too tech or preachy. I was fascinated by the history of the Nevada Testing Site and the legacy of nuclear testing, and I was there for over two hours reading everything they presented and could've spent another hour. I would not recommend this museum for those under 12 years-old. Honestly, it's not for young kids; they won't understand the rationale for why testing was important at the time or how Nevada was selected. They'll get bored quickly. The last 1/4 of the museum has hands-on exhibits geared for older children, yet they're sophisticated enough to get me to interact. The only thing, which doesn't detract from my review of the actual museum, is that the gift shop was a letdown; it was stocked with stuff for young kids--a lot of things that were tie-ins for the cheesy "Area 51" exhibit that's separate from the museum. The museum is reachable by public transit, but bus service can be a little unpredictable. You can get to the museum from the Strip by cab for around $8 or so, and one of the museum staff can call a cab to get you back to the Strip. Outside the museum, there's not much around here if you didn't drive. A Quiznos across the street is currently the only food option nearby.
