Attractions
As the rest of the country
sharpens its pencils, Las
Vegas is enrolling a
different kind of student.
Trade pop quizzes for
panoramas and permission
slips for happy hours with a
syllabus built around the
city’s finest diversions.
Attendance is the only
requirement.
THEATER:
The wraparound screen
and haptic seats at Sphere
redefine stagecraft. Carín
León performs September
4–13 before the Eagles land
September 18–19. There’s
no bad seat in the house,
and every moment feels
larger than life.
ART:
More than 500 works
spanning five centuries fill
Southern Nevada Art
Museum, Las Vegas’ first
stand-alone fine art
museum, including pieces by
Picasso, Dalí, Rembrandt,
Chagall, and Peter Max.
ATTRACTIONS
SCIENCE:
Nevada’s atomic history
gets the serious treatment
at Atomic Museum, from
declassified test footage to
Geiger counters and
artifacts from the Atomic
Age. Fission, fusion,
radiation, and nuclear
technology are all covered
without a lab report.
RECESS:
HISTORY:
Inside a 1933 federal
courthouse, The Mob
Museum explores
organized crime through
artifacts, exhibits, and an
intact courtroom. After
class, head to The
Underground for
Prohibition-era cocktails,
house-distilled moonshine,
and a savory snack.
