Wander among ancient fossils, colorful mineral specimens, antique slot machines, 19thcentury farming tools, and extravagant showgirl costumes — artifacts which illustrate Las Vegas’ rise into the metropolitan gem we know today.
Founded in 1982, NSMLV moved into its new home at the Springs Preserve in 2011. In this spacious, modern facility, the museum’s exhibits and research collections detail the social, cultural, and natural history of southern Nevada and the surrounding region. Explore 20,000 square feet of permanent gallery space and 180 acres of trails, gardens, and exhibits throughout the beautiful Las Vegas Springs Preserve.
