5. Zak bagans haunted museum
Tucked into a cluster of quaint shops trying hard to attract tourist dollars. Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum is not easy to find. The lack of signage could an intentional marketing strategy design to create anticipation for what lies ahead. Or it could simply be an oversight. In either case, I’m going with intentional because once you find it, there’s a nice surprise waiting for you. You open up a plain door in an otherwise drab storefront. And are met with a dazzl display of light from above as ghosts.
Perhaps you’ve already heard of Zak Bagans and his investigations into haunted locations. One of those adventures brought him to downtown Las Vegas. Where he got a look at both The Plaza and The Golden Gate. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some haunted tales worth sharing about old vegas’ old-school strip. Of course, these places aren’t as easily accessible as other parts of downtown, but if you want an adventure on your vacation—this is one for you, for these three spots.
6. Container Park
A great place at old town vegas for people-watching and petting dogs, Container Park, offers a pleasant respite from its gritty downtown surroundings. Constructed out of shipping containers, it’s also a shopping mall. Stop by The Chapel of Love for a quick marriage or hang out in its beer garden. Or check out Evel Pie, home of an old-school pie booth where you can get slices with names like Mother Clucker (peanut butter and banana), Thin Mint (chocolate and mint), and Lemon Zest (lemon). Don’t miss it after a long night of partying at one of downtown Vegas’ many bars.
For those looking for more traditional entertainment. Head to Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding for a three-hour wedding experience that’ll leave you smiling. They’ve got multiple packages that range from $69 to $179 per person. Depend on how elaborate you want your nuptials. Another must-see: Chippendales – The Show at Rio old Vegas Hotel & Casino. Watch gorgeous men take off their clothes while ladies sip cocktails. And eat chocolate strawberries in comfort it’s like having your cake and eating it too.
