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
