Unique Attractions in Las Vegas You Can’t Miss
Las Vegas is a world-renowned destination. Although some think of Vegas as a place to get married on a whim or try to strike it rich in a casino, there’s so much more to Vegas. The city is also famous for its bright lights and the endless entertainment options centered around the Las Vegas Strip. Both locals and tourists can have a great time exploring the best attractions in Las Vegas.
Are you ready to enjoy remarkable experiences at some of Vegas’s unique attractions? Let’s explore some of the one-of-a-kind Vegas destinations you can’t miss.
1. Paradox Museum
Prepare to have your mind blown when you step into a mind-bending world at an optical and immersive illusion museum in Las Vegas. When it comes to unique attractions, Paradox Museum is at the top of every list.
Everything you’ll experience at Paradox Museum is in the real world, but it will seem like you’ve left reality behind and gone “through the looking-glass” because you’ve entered a nonsensical world that defies logic.
Some of the reasons Paradox Museum is the best unique attraction in Vegas include the following:
- Dozens of experiences: Paradox Museum features over six dozen exhibits.
- One-of-a-kind exhibits: From the Infinity Well to the Camouflage Sofa to the Paradox Sofa, each Paradox Museum exhibit delivers an original experience you won’t find anywhere else.
- Step into the mind-bending exhibits: Many art exhibits in Las Vegas and around the globe let you look but keep you from touching them. Not at Paradox’s optical illusion museum. Our immersive exhibits put you inside each surreal exhibit for an unforgettable experience.
- Unbelievable images: Being immersed in each exhibit ensures you have amazing photo opportunities that capture you defying reality.
In addition to our immersive exhibits, we also have optical illusions. Some of our optical illusions can trick your brain into thinking you see things that aren’t there, and others transform before your eyes into unexpected images.
Paradox Museum has a cafe and boutique and is open daily. It’s on the Las Vegas Strip near the MGM Grand Monorail station and accessible by bus.
2. Flyover in Las Vegas
The Flyover in Las Vegas delivers an incredible multi-sensory flight over famous sites and impressive landmarks from around the globe. The Flyover is perfect for those looking for a thrilling experience and those who want to see the world in a completely unique way.
The Flyover is similar to a virtual reality experience, but you won’t wear a headset. It’s a ride that puts you in the middle of a 52.5-foot wraparound screen to deliver stunning images, and the seats — which are similar to roller coaster seats — move throughout the Flyover, making you feel like you’re inside the images.
In addition to impressive visual images and moving seats, the Flyover uses special effects, such as wind, to enhance your experience. The scents deliver smells that match the displays, and by appealing to all your senses, the Flyover makes you feel like you’re actually at the locations on the screen.
Flyover experience destinations include the following:
- The American West
- The Canadian Rockies
- Chicago
- Iceland
The Flyover is perfect for guests 40″ tall or higher, and it’s open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You can save money on your Flyover experience by purchasing Flyover and Paradox experience in Las Vegas tickets. The Flyover in Las Vegas is near the Paradox Museum on the Strip near the MGM Grand station.
3. Once Upon an Escape
Once Upon an Escape is an escape room not far from the Las Vegas Strip. You can travel from the Paradox Museum or Flyover to this escape room in about seven minutes by car, or you can travel to Once Upon an Escape via public transit.
Once Upon an Escape immerses you in a fantasy world where you’re an active player in the game. Your goal is to solve clues and figure out how to escape from the room. Featured experiences delivering 60 minutes of gameplay include the following:
- Seven Dwarfs
- Arabian Nights
- Neverland
- Once Upon a Time
Once Upon an Escape also offers Rumplestiltskin experiences, where you receive five clues to help you escape within five minutes of gameplay.
Once Upon an Escape is an original interactive game perfect for groups of up to eight players. It’s also family-friendly, so you can enjoy this experience with your kids, parents, or friends.
Like the Flyover in Las Vegas, Once Upon an Escape partners with the Paradox Museum, offering discount combo tickets for visitors to both attractions.
