re: Things to do in Vegas besides gambling and shows?

The atomic museum is cool if you like history. It tells the story of all the nuclear tests. There’s also an outdoor place that holds all the old neon signs from the strips past.

we ended up going to the mob Museum. That was pretty awesome. The rest of this weeekend we stayed downtown and had a ton of fun. First time on freemont street and enjoyed it much more than the strip.
