Nevada State Museum & Historical Society review Rate it

The Nevada State Museum has permanent exhibits on the natural and anthropological history of the region, from ancient Paiute Indians to 19th-century pioneers, and the men and women of the Nellis Gunnery School in World War II. The standout exhibit tells the story of Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo, complete with interactive recordings of Bugsy (played by an actor) threatening business partners. There are plans to move the museum to the Las Vegas Springs Preserve in 2008; call ahead to check.

We had great difficulty in getting a taxi driver to take us here but it was an easy ride with two buses back (via Freemont) to the Strip. Once at the museum, it was very peacefully situated in Lorenzi Park. The museum itself although not large, was very interesting and gave an insight into the history of Las Vegas, its flora and fauna. A great pity most visitors don't make the effort to visit it!!!
