Quirky Things to Do During Your Sojourn in Vegas


Popular South Korean boyband BTS is set to perform in Las Vegas for the first time ever in 2022. And if you’re a fan, chances are you’ve snagged tickets to the shows. While the concerts are sure to be the highlights of your Vegas trip, there is much to explore in and around this dazzling metropolis as you await the septet’s glorious return to a foreign stage after over two years. Vegas is prominently associated with glittering casinos and enticing shopping districts, with a string of restaurants and high-end hotels beckoning to tourists from far and wide. Entertainment, in all its forms, thrives here, affirming Vegas’ reputation as one of the premier entertainment hubs of the country and lending credence to its moniker of “Sin City.” However, if you decide to forgo
bars and clubs in the vicinity in favor of more unconventional experiences, here are some attractions to consider.

National Atomic Testing Museum

As its name suggests, this museum chronicles the nuclear history of the country and provides an insight into the facets associated with atomic testing. The exhibits illuminate the workings of the Nevada Test Site, with numerous artifacts, documents, and photographs enabling visitors to learn about the nuclear programs helmed by the reservation. A sharp contrast to the scintillating landscape of Vegas, this museum certainly makes for a solemn visit.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Stretch your legs before the concerts and head out to map the rugged terrain of this stunning locale. Featuring a mesmerizing network of majestic canyons, this natural area is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, especially those inclined to exhilarating climbing and hiking excursions. Picnic areas are also available, should you wish to indulge in more leisurely recreation. Additionally, a paved road unfurls along well-marked trails, inviting visitors to drive along its scenic stretch and soak in the breath-taking vistas unfolding all around.

Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum

Fans of the occult will revel in a visit to this bizarre museum where unnerving sounds muffle frantic footsteps and where a collection of objects is believed to bear traces of malevolent spirits. Dating from 1938, this eerie abode spooks visitors with its terrifying exhibits, detailing supposed hauntings and possessions by sinister specters still believed to inhabit the house. Grab some merch from the adjoining souvenir store after a thrilling tour of the museum’s disquieting confines.

Shark Reef Aquarium

An aquarium might not be the first thing that pops up when envisioning the grandeur of Vegas, but this remarkable establishment affiliated with the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is an ideal choice owing to its proximity to Allegiant Stadium, the venue for the concerts. Equipped with numerous interactive exhibits, the aquarium will delight visitors of all ages. Feed stingrays and sea turtles, immerse yourself in virtual reality, swim alongside sharks, or simply admire the diverse species that constitute the displays. And instead of the Pizza Hut near the aquarium, drop in at any of the restaurants in Mandalay Bay to savor some scrumptious food.
