The Atomic Testing Museum

  • May 24, 2025
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Brooklynite22 from Brooklyn, New York

Located in the Desert Research center, about a 15-minute bus ride from the strip this nearly empty museum was a definite must see with highly interactive displays and tons of memorabilia, movies and photographs.

The museum was easy to reach, we took the bus that runs along the strip to Flamingo road and transferred to the #22 bus line which runs along it, our bus driver told us when to get out for the museum. (the same bus pass will work for the strip busses and off strip busses)

When you first enter the museum you are actually in a functioning research center, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for kids and seniors. The museum is filled with original equipment, signs, memorabilia, videos, etc... There are also volunteers who were part of original nuclear testing projects there to answer questions, although you are free to wander on your own. There is also a high tech screening room that lets you experience a nuclear blast. This modern museum is well designed, interesting and filled to the brim with interesting exhibits and artifacts. It is definitely worth the trip. It's a great way to take some time out from typical Las Vegas activities and learn something new.

From journal Spring Break in Vegas on a Student Budget…
