We've all had those days... bored and despondent. No errands to run, but really want to leave the house. Needing some stimulation but wanting to spend zero dollars.
This is where my husband and I found ourselves one hot day last week. After a brief discussion, we decided a museum visit would fit our mood perfectly!
So off we went to the Clark County Museum. This museum has a small gift shop and an indoor exhibit of the history of Las Vegas, but the best part is the outdoor exhibits: a conglomerate ghost town of historic buildings stocked with period furniture and accessories. These buildings are spread out over acres and require a good deal of outdoor walking.
But once we arrived, the reality of how incredibly hot it was hit us hard. The walk from the car to the gift shop was enough for me. We quickly decided to skip the outdoor section and just look around the indoor exhibit. Maybe we'll visit again in December!

| My favorite Las Vegas sign has to be the old Stardust. Can't believe it was torn down to build the Echelon, which after 5 years is still basically a dirt lot |
