Museums (N-Z)

The P is silent.

You know, of Fremont Street fame.

King Kong ain't got nothin' on me!

Exactly.

Exactly.

And fun fact - did you know Elvira was Vegas' youngest showgirl ever? Google it, it's a real thing!

Ok great, here we go.

My nickname in high school was literally "Skipper" - from this show.

Heat check, so you know it's true!

Stop it.

She always picks Mileena, or Kitana. It's not fair.

I like the characters on top of some machines, it's a nice touch.

That's a Jimmy Eat World song, for those who don't know.

The Springs Preserve has a much better quality cafe than you might expect.

And I can't remember if it's a MadTV or SNL reference, but the Complicated Order skit at Burger King was hilarious!

They could jokingly rename this California Turkey sandwhich a "slider" (like the tiny hamburgers), but only because one bite and it's all over the place.

But it is a really good sandwhich though, just make sure you have extra napkins available!

#Boomtown. 1905.

Look how cool these little old houses were!

And of course Main Street USA.

A working phonograph - I'd take that over Youtube any day of the week!

Ah yes, nothing like some Hartshorn's Jaundice Bitters, you know, to soothe the nerves.

The Train Station. But not the one from the Yellowstone TV show.

As someone who has driven from Salt Lake to Las Vegas many times, I would not recommend walking that....

I always wanted to be an old-school shopkeeper in real life.

Don't they pollinate like 75% of the food on Earth?

Well, they were cool while they lasted (150 million years).

Thanks, Monsanto!

Cute little sucker, ain't it?

The best part of doing an attraction in Las Vegas, is when you can see the Strip in the background, and you remember that you're in Las Vegas, the best city in the entire world.

Casa Del Sol. 

A tiny (sustainable living) desert house.

The house you think every house in Las Vegas would be.

Instead they are 3 story McMansions.

Makes perfect sense!

The true Will Ferrell fans will understand this one!

Ok so here's the deal - I've been to lots of museums in my life. 

I've been to the Met in New York, the 9/11 Museum, Nelson Atkins, Natural History Museums, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, all the museums listed on this webpage, etc.

I gotta say this one honestly blows them all away - in terms of uniqueness of items, curation, atmosphere, and just the general overall insanity of what the place holds.

I don't think it's matched by any of the other museums I've ever been, at this point in my life. 

The physical layout and footprint of the mansion is absolutely incredible, and is curated in such a way that it honestly feels like the gravity of what the museum contains lined up in such a way that all the items therein wanted to be there, to have Zak Bagan's Museum as their final resting place.

My goal is to make sure I don't give any major spoilers, because honestly, this is the type of place you have to see to believe...

Ok so I want to do something I haven't seen anybody do online for this place, which is to provide a list of all the rooms (that I can remember) - without spoiling anything, so you can have your own experience when you visit the Museum.

I will list the rooms with made up names that I assigned them, and in a random order as well, so you can have a vague idea of what the museum contains, without spoiling anything.

Also in the video, Zak saying, "Me and my friend Post Malone were drinking beer in my Haunted Museum..." is straight up comedy gold.

Rooms:

1) The Barn of Truth - makes the Texas Chainsaw series look, well, tame in comparison.

2) The Circus - we didn't start the fire...

3) Mobbed Up - you knew the mob would be involved in the supernatural, didn't you?

4) Rocking the Boat - there are two rooms related to this pun.

5) Go Straight to Jail - you knew someone was going to get arrested for being involved in this kind of stuff, didn't you?

6) I'm a Real Boy! - Pinocchio was already freaky enough as it is...

7) The Art Gallery - please view this room in total silence, won't you?

8) The Dr.'s Office - the doctor will see you now...

9) Sit Down, Take a Load Off - you knew something in the Annabelle universe would make an appearance at the museum, didn't you?

10) Taxidermy, of the Macabre - well it defintely wasn't going to be normal taxidermy in a place like this.

11) Butcher Shop - honestly I'd almost recommend you skip this upstairs room completely, when they ask if you want to opt out, you should seriously consider it.

12) Oh Great, Another Circus!

13) Demon House - enough said!

14) A Bar, Only, It's Haunted - well, well, well.... (get it?)

15) The Exorcism of.... Pretty Much Everybody.

16) Death Becomes Her - she took photos to chronicle her steady decline, will you be brave enough to view them?

17) The Most Haunted Object in the World - spoiler alert, it's definitely haunted.

18) Hidden Passageway!

19) Anything in this Room Seem "Odd" to You? 

20) Dolls, so Many Haunted Dolls.

21) You Can Ring My Beeeeellllll, You Can Ring My Bell - like the famous Anita Ward song

22) The Basement - you know that fear you have as a child when you're running up the basement stairs that something's going to get you? They have that here.

23) English Muffins - I'm calling them that for all the scares tucked into various "Nooks" and "Crannies"

24) Say Hi to Peggy, and you'll have "No-ma" fear about the Museum.

25) Halloween Themed Exit Pathway, and congratulations - you survived the Haunted Museum!
