There is a lot of information in this museum. That's not a bad thing, but if you're not a museum person and/or don't like bombs, then you probably shouldn't go. However, if you're at all curious about 1950s politics and culture on and off the strip, then step right in. Just be prepared to read a lot.
The museum is pretty easy to get to from the strip. We drove from Bally's and it took about 5 minutes. Once inside, be prepared to spend at least 90 minutes reading and poking around because, as I said before, there is a buttload of information.
My only qualm is the random pop culture tie-ins that are spread throughout the museum. A perfect example is the Elvis statue. I tried very hard to understand why it was there but couldn't. I guess these things are recognizable and therefore make it easier for the non-bomb lover to navigate through the space. Regardless, it seemed a little strange to me.
Overall, a very good museum in a city that does a poor job at recognizing it's past. Las Vegas needs more things like this.
