Things to do in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV): The Best Art Museums
Whether you’re a high roller or a low-key lounger, Las Vegas has something to suit your vacation taste. Sample fare from top chefs and cornucopian buffets, try your luck at one of the world’s premier casinos, or take in a spectacular show. Just wandering the Strip is enough to get your heart pumping. Once you’ve had enough of the razzle-dazzle, wave hello to the toothy sea life at the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef, hike Red Rock Canyon, or visit the Neon Museum, where old signs take on new life.

When we visited in April 2019 the Bellagio Gallery had two installations by artist Yayoi Kusama. One of the exhibits is a bunch of silver spheres sitting on the floor. The other one, which is the one we wanted to see, was the infinity room. Your time in the room is very brief - only 45 seconds - but the infinity effect is amazing. We each went in separately. My job was still photos, his was video. They do have a AAA discount on admission tickets, so be sure to ask for that if you have AAA. The Gallery is located right across from the main entrance to the pool & they have signs through the hotel/casino pointing the way. It is a pretty good walk from the main lobby/Conservatory, but if you're going to the Conservatory anyway this is worth checking out. At least until they change artists - make sure to check their web site to see the current exhibit.
