We had an hour of time to kill, so I brought my parents here (who were visiting from out-of-town). The entrance fee was only $1, so why not?
I really wish I had visited this little place sooner. To be honest, it had been on my list of to-dos for years, but never intriguing enough for us to prioritize it over other activities. And boy was I wrong.
This place is basically a small indoor museum and then an outdoor area with the actual remains and recreations of the fort. This inside was incredibly interesting! It's very nice, has lots of the little displays, a 10-minute movie, and even a couple of reading rooms. I actually learned quite a few new things about the history of Las Vegas.
After a fairly quick run-through of everything, my parents wanted to go back so we could spend more time there. I will definitely be coming back and will be sure to add this to my running list of places to take out-of-town visitors.
