I took a tour of Hacienda Palomino. This is also known as the Thriller Villa because it's where…read moreMichael Jackson lived in Las Vegas the last two years of his life. The house is privately owned and it's where many of the things from the Liberace Museum now reside. The tour I took was lead by Jonathan Warren, an expert on the life of Liberace. He's also is an expert in describing the Liberace items in the mansion. The tour lasted three hours and was very informative. The whole hacienda is not covered but the section closest to Palomino Lane is where the Liberace memorabilia is located. Reservations must be made for the tour. I was the only person yesterday because some that were scheduled needed to change their tour date. It was a fantastic tour. I had been to the Liberace Museum before it closed, but I never would know what I do now because of Mr. Warren's encyclopedic memory!

If you're wandering around downtown Vegas, you can't miss the Snowball cat statue. It's this giant,…read morefluffy orange tabby with a huge smile that just screams good vibes. Standing there with his happy little face (I am guessing it's a boy cat, but who knows?), it's a total mood lifter amid the city's neon chaos. Snowball is an unofficial city mascot, especially to those of us creative types who frequent the downtown Arts District. Perfect for a quick selfie or just to take in some fun street art, Snowball's got a playful energy that makes it impossible not to smile. His tongue is sticking out and his squinting eyes have the cutest expression ever (and one that most cat parents will recognize). Snowball's oversized ears are the icing on the cake.  I love public art and I personally think it's worth the trip downtown to pay Snowball a visit. It's a fun, quirky statue that's free and open to all, 24/7.

My friend and I visited the Neon Museum back in February. Evening admission is slightly more…read moreexpensive than day admission, however a few people encouraged me to visit at night so that we could see the signs lit up. We thought about getting the Las Vegas Go City Pass, but the pass only includes daytime admission. I purchased two tickets online for the night admission with the history tour add on. Somehow there was a glitch and I was charged twice for the admission portion. I didn't realize it until we were on our way to the museum. We were running behind, so I didn't have time to try to resolve the issue. Once we checked in, we were waiting for our tour to start when one of the young ladies at the front desk asked me if I meant to buy 4 tickets. I explained the situation to her and she said she would refund me the $70 since it was a glitch. I appreciated her so much! I was prepared to just take the loss but I'm grateful that I didn't have to. Our tour guide was Steven. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He provided all sorts of information on the history on the various signs. He did a good job of making sure that freeloaders didn't try to jump on the tour. I was surprised at the number of people who tried to tag along as we walked through the Neon Boneyard. I didn't have cash but was able to tip him via Venmo. In addition to the history tour, they also offer a movie tour. On the night that we visited, there was a presentation that was open to all ticket holders. Throughout the museum, they featured prominent Black figures associated with Las Vegas for Black History Month which was cool to see. This was a fun and unique experience and I'm glad we made time on our trip to visit!

Review for 4/3/26 7:30pm…read more We got tickets for the 7:30pm self guided tour. It was the perfect time of day/evening. It happened to be right around sunset so were were able to see some of it with a bit of daylight and then as the sun went down...the magic happened. Like others have said, the venue is much smaller than I thought it would be. It is easily walkable, flat and accesable for those with mobility concerns. Overall, I am very glad we came to see it and it does not take much time to go through so that does help with parking. The lot is very small but with people coming and going, it was easy to get a spot. When we were done, we asked about the other location next to the parking lot and found out it was a special add on. We decided to go for it since it was starting a few minutes after our tour was done. I think it was worth the extra $17. The show is in another bone yard of signs that do not light up but an artist created a light show, with music that creates a unique experience. It was fun and a nice way to end the evening. On a different note...I was very impressed with the bougie restroom...not your typical Pota Potty...and yes I took a video. The facilites are located in a white trailer in the parking lot...It was lovely! Yes there is a fire place in the restroom! It was very clean and smelled lovely. It is not handicap accesable tho. Overall, I think the Neon Museum is a nice way to spend the evening and given the price of most things in Vegas, it is fair.

Furthermore, "In spite of all the trials and tribulations along the way, they are successful in reaching their goal" which is "the Palace in Western Heaven where the Buddha lives."
