Here are a few things I recommend off of the strip:
- Area 15 – it’s like a mall for hyper-sensory experiences — rather than shopping
- Atomic Museum – learn the history of the US nuclear weapons testing program
- Battlefield Vegas – shoot machine guns, sniper rifles, mini-guns, tanks, and more
- Container Park – a retail and fun center with a giant fire-breathing praying mantis
- Dig This – learn how to operate real excavators, bulldozers, skid loaders, and more
- Ethel M Factory – learn how chocolate is made and taste the finished product
- Game Nest – a Japanese arcade; half the fun is figuring out how to play the games
- Lone Mountain – hike to the top and enjoy one of the best views of Vegas
- Omega Mart – an immersive journey into and surreal world for all ages (in Area 15)
- Sky Combat Aces – a pilot teaches you how to fly a stunt plane (yes, you fly the plane!)
- Springs Preserve – explore the history of Las Vegas before and after human settlement
