| - This exhibit is interesting.. I think it would deserve 4 stars, but I didn't like how the exhibit was run, and I'll get to that in a bit.
My husband and I LOVE Marvel movies, comics, characters, story lines, etc. My husband seems to know EVERYthing about the Marvel Universe, whereas I was only introduced when all the big movies started hitting the scene in the last couple (few?) decades. At any rate, we were both very excited to visit this venue!
There is a good sized gift shop when you enter the establishment, complete with an impressive statue of the Avengers on display. On another reviewers advice, we opted to rent devices for $5 each so our phones didn't overheat and die using the app throughout the tour/mission. I checked in on the Yelp app right beforehand and they had a 20% off coupon that popped up, so definitely check in if you're going!
The tour is a self guided mission, really. You'll create a profile on your handheld device and then take photos, read information, and take tests as you pass through each character room. If you complete and pass all the tests, you're an official member of the Avengers Team at the end. So, study up while you walk through, OR just ask your husband what all the answers are before you proceed to the next section. ;)
The venue includes background stories and stats for The Hulk, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Agent Maria Hill as your intro guide. I may have missed a couple characters... There are some cryogenically frozen bad guys on display, and all the prototypes of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits. Many parts of the exhibit are interactive, and that's really fun, but I wish even MORE of it was interactive.
At the very end, and the reason I only gave it 3 stars, you are sequestered into a room with all the other folks who happened to walk through at the same time you did. They run a magical wand over your device to get you into the final scene, where you'll be fighting some bad guys and Ultron together. That's fine and dandy, but one member of our group had an issue with his device and it literally took 10+ minutes for that situation to get settled. So I, and my husband, and 6 other couples, and 6 or so kids, were all just standing in a room waiting... and waiting... Of course I didn't want to miss the final scene, so I stayed put, but knowing what we were doing now, I wouldn't have waited. Nevertheless, you all use your devices to fight Ultron as one of the Avenger characters.
It took us 30 - 40 minutes to get through the exhibit. I think this would be awesome to take your kids to, so I do recommend this for families traveling to Las Vegas. If there were more people in our group, it would have taken longer, so it's hard to give an accurate time guesstimate.
