Las Vegas Sightseeing
Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum
Dedicated to the preservation of historical artifacts relating to the workers and construction of the Hoover Dam. Sponsored by the Boulder City Historical Association. Free 20-minute movie screening "Construction of Hoover Dam" containing original movie footage from the construction.
Casino Legends Hall of Fame
Located in the Tropicana Hotel you can see the world's largest collection of Nevada casino memorabilia. Everything that made Las Vegas the legend it is, is reflected here in photos, coins, gaming tokens, old slot machines, decks of cards and out-dated dice.
The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace
Although predominantly a place to shop and dine, this indoor mall has a few unique attractions to offer as well. Foremost are the animated statues and laser show at the center pavilion. "Statue Animations" are about every half hour and are nearly unbelievable (or should we say believable). Watch Bacchus come to life and chat amongst the other gods and goddesses while above you a fantastic laser light show brings the ceiling to life too. The newest attraction is the free Atlantis show outside the new IMAX Theatre. Here you can watch a tale of Atlantis rise from the sea and as the Gods decreed sink back to the ocean bottom and afterwards venture into the IMAX for an Atlantis oriented thrill ride. Also while there, keep an eye on the sky-like ceiling which very subtlety changes from dawn to dusk over the course of about a half an hour. Great arcade (downstairs at the far end) for kids, a magic shop with constant demonstrations and one of the largest FAO Shwartz toy stores.
Elvis-A-Rama Museum
Located behind the Fashion Show Mall, this unique museum pays tribute to the "King", Elvis Presley. Over $3 million of Elvis memorabilia will captivate your attention. Get a glimpse of the 35kt red star ruby ring and the many costumed designed Hollywood movie outfits he wore or even his fantastic automobiles and first ski boat. The 80-foot long Elvis-a-rama mural by renowned artist Robert Shappy is the world's largest tribute to this famous Las Vegas legend. A special treat for visitors is when Tim Welch comes on stage singing Elvis' hit songs in true Presley style! A huge gift shop offers everything "Elvis", including a photo opportunity with Rusty Wallace's NASCAR showcar, featuring Elvis on the hood.
