RMS Titanic Exhibit and other Las Vegas, NV Things to Do Tips

by Yaqui , 3 more photos

I wanted to see this exhibit and so did my son. It was somber, sad, and fascinating. They did an excellent job with their wonderful displays and the care of the artifacts to preserve them. As you walk from room to room, it takes on a character of its own. They have some wonderful educational poster of information of many of passengers and how they came to board the Titanic. The only bad thing was the lighting, it was hard to read some of the dispay boards. Yet, I do know they do this to preserve the artifacts. No photography is allowed. A little expensive, but we received a discount with our AAA card, so that was neat. This is well worth your money and time.

Flamingo Hilton: Flamingo Wildlife Habitat - Free

This is a lovely way to stroll along a path and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. We came here at night, but really enjoyed it because there was hardly anyone here. This wildlife habitat, consist of flamingos, swans, ducks, Kio and turtles. Each creature is in his or hers authentic environment and the plants have been imported here from all around the world. Another wonderful aspect is the spectacular waterfalls grace most of the lush pool areas. Penguin feeding daily at 3:00 pm.

Pools here consist of being surrounded by 15 acres of lush tropical landscapes. What we saw looks really cool and fun. Each of the pools connects by using a water slides to get to the next one and some offer some pretty spectacular waterfalls.

As beautiful as this place is even at night, I would NOT recommend wondering around here at night. Too many secluded paths and foliage.

Things To Do: Sunset Stampede Show Mystic Falls Park - Free

Tip Rating:

Written by Yaqui

on Mar 22, 2009

There is a 25,000 square foot indoor solarium in Sam�s Town Casino and Hotel. They call it the Mystic Falls Park that has a really cool light and water show is offered daily during these times: 2, 6, 8, & 10pm. When we were here it was just before Christmas and it was so beautifully decorated, but I am sure it is just a pretty without all the lovely decorations. We found seats up by the really cool rock bar that blended into the garden and enjoyed a beer. We had a pretty good view of the show. It was really entertaining. I suggest you get there at least 20 minutes so you can either find a seat or be in a good position to see the show.

As unique this hotel/casino is, it has some pretty significant pieces that will take you back in time, as far as the baby boomers are concerned. It has a beautiful 100 ft neon electric guitar sign, a restaurant / gift shop / bar. The walls are filled with memorabilia from every pop and rock legend of the 50's through the 90's. Do not miss the Madonna bustier or the hand written Jim Morrison song lyrics. You can just walk around and browse all the wonderful memorabilia or you have a choice of dining among all this rock 'n roll history too. Be sure to browse their gift shop and take home a piece of Hard Rock Las Vegas for yourself and friends. Also recently added, right next door is the all new Hard Rock Hotel / Casino with even more memorabilia scattered amongst the gambling devices and along the walls.
