Unless you’ve got a hankering to see a stuffed Columbian mammoth or the Nevada state fossil (psst, it’s an ichthyosaur), you can skip this small historical museum. It does have one intriguing room dedicated to the modern history of Las Vegas, replete with casino memorabilia and exhibits about the Hoover Dam project and 1950s atomic testing. Look for the museum’s new-and-improved location at the Springs Preserve in 2009.
