I went to the Gallery for the first time this June and saw the American Modernism exhibit, which is made up of loans from the fantastic Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Boston. It took about 45-60 minutes to get through the whole exhibition. The extra 15 minutes was if you were to stay and watch the Georgia O'Keefe documentary in another room. This also assumes you look at each painting and listen to the commentaries on each one that has one.
I have to say the woman they chose to read some of the audio commentaries on the audio unit should be replaced. She BUTCHERED some of the artist names and concepts. Did anyone instruct her how to pronounce these words correctly before recording or proof-listen to the final product? They could have got a art history student at UNLV who would have done a better job.
The entrance fee is a bit high at $15 for adults, but if that actually helps cover the cost of the exhibition, I suppose its okay. The museum wasn't that busy for a Sunday late afternoon though. Wynn should buy one of the original Dog's Playing Poker pictures and put it in the Bellagio to poke fun at all the people ignoring the fine art to gamble mind numbingly.
Now that the Guggenheim LV shut down, this the only fine art gallery on the Strip. Don't forget the LV Museum of Art on West Sahara though. And no, the Liberace Museum does not count no matter how many sequins and sparkly things are on the walls.
Verdict: When you have $15 bucks left of your allotted $500, go enrich yourself at the art gallery instead of enriching the casino.
