Las Vegas is a city designed to entertain and amaze in equal parts. That's one of the reasons why you'll find things to see, do and enjoy around every corner.

If you're a museum lover, Las Vegas is home to one of the most peculiar exhibition spaces your eyes will ever see: the Bodies exhibit, which brings together a collection of preserved and dissected human bodies and focuses on demonstrating their incredible workings.

If you want to know all the details for a visit to this place, from how to buy tickets to Bodies The Exhibition to the pieces you'll find, here's everything you need to know.

Like most museums and shows in Las Vegas, tickets to Bodies The Exhibition are divided into categories.

You can purchase tickets for Bodies The Exhibition directly from the ticket office located at a ticket booth next to the main entrance doors of the exhibition.

The exhibition hall is located in the Luxor Hotel and Casino on the level called The Atrium. This is an ideal place for entertainment, as you will also find other fascinating exhibits such as the Titanic Las Vegas Exhibit and the Blue Man Group exhibit.

The Luxor is among the largest hotels in the city and while you can always ask the staff for guidance, you can preview the hotel map and layout to get a clear idea of where to go at any given time.

Yes, Bodies The Exhibition in Las Vegas is included in a sightseeing pass called The Vegas Sightseeing Pass. With approximately 80 different attractions included in the full pass, with the purchase of this product visitors gain access to the most famous attractions, museums and shows in the city.

The Vegas Sightseeing Pass has an initial cost of approximately €100 for two days; the price increases slightly depending on the number of days purchased and the number of attractions included. The 5-day price can go up to around €230 per person.

While this is an interesting product that offers attractive savings options, be aware that these discounts only work if you organise your travel itinerary properly.

Visitors who spend 2 days in the city or 3 days in Las Vegas can end up spending more money on the pass than on individual attractions if they don't structure their tours properly.

Bodies The Exhibition is rated by many as one of the best museums in Las Vegas, but at the moment there are no guided tours of this exhibition, nor do I consider them necessary.

The exhibition is rather small and is very well organised in pre-defined thematic rooms that allow visitors to find their way around very easily.

In the absence of a guided tour you can buy the audio guide available at the ticket office for this museum.

The audio guide costs approximately 5€ and allows visitors to obtain additional information of great interest but above all it will help you to orientate yourself on the correct order in which you should visit each of the rooms to have the best experience on your tour.

The Bodies The Exhibition Museum in Las Vegas is located inside one of the city's most famous hotels, the Luxor Hotel and Casino, on the level known as The Atrium.

At first you will have to figure out how to get to the hotel. Fortunately this is a very simple task and the city of Las Vegas offers you different transportation options.

Sightseeing bus

As one of the most visited cities in the United States, in Las Vegas Nevada you will also find the tourist bus service available. It is a special transport designed for people who visit the city for a short period of time and want to see the most attractive attractions.

To get to the Luxor Hotel and Casino on the tourist bus you should take the red line and get off at stop 8 called "Excalibur Hotel".

Public Bus

The public bus service in the city of Las Vegas is quite efficient. If you opt for this option, just note that there are several stops and lines available in the vicinity of the Luxor Hotel.

• Routes: Bus 119; Bus 201 and Bus CX.
• Stops: The "Nb Las Vegas at Mgm/Showcase Mall" stop is a 6-minute walk away; the "Sb Las Vegas at Luxor" stop is an 8-minute walk away and the "Wb Tropicana" stop is a 10-minute walk away.

Take a taxi in Las Vegas.

Although it is one of the most expensive transportation options, it is also an efficient and comfortable way to get to your destination. Remember to tip the driver.

Absolutely! I would go as far as to say that going to the Bodies exhibition is one of the best activities if you go to Las Vegas with children on a family holiday. The younger ones will be just as impressed as the adults with the impressive exhibition.

Moreover, this seems to me a unique opportunity to awaken their interest in science and encourage them to discover new interests that can enrich their lives.

The different rooms of the exhibition take participants through a variety of showcases and platforms where certain organs and systems are presented as a whole, but you will also get a detailed view of each of the parts.

While it is true that almost everything in Bodies The Exhibition is interesting, some elements are more impressive than others. Here are the ones that personally caught my attention the most.

Healthy organs vs. diseased organs

In one room you will find what is perhaps the most revealing part of the exhibition: showcases where you can see real, healthy organs of our organism placed next to diseased organs, almost always the result of bad habits or neglect.

In a direct invitation to move away from those practices that we know are harmful to our health.

The collection includes healthy lungs placed next to lungs completely blackened by the effect of smoking; enlarged hearts as a result of being overweight and finally cancerous tumours extracted from specific organs - impressive!

Real foetuses and babies.

The more sensitive can, if they wish, avoid this room. Here you will see in a very graphic way the process of the formation of a baby in the womb or the different stages of foetal development.

Real models with only a few weeks from conception to fully formed babies.

Irrigation system

In contrast to the room dedicated to foetuses and babies, the space where the irrigation system is displayed is intriguing and fascinating in equal proportions.

Somehow the creators of Bodies The Exhibition have managed to isolate the blood supply system from other organs and present it in a very beautiful model.

Although Bodies The Exhibition in Las Vegas is highly informative, the tour is not very long and is made up of several small rooms.

Once you start the tour of each of the spaces it will take you an average of 60 to 90 minutes. It is ideal for combining into a rushed travel itinerary.

The exhibition will be open from Monday to Sunday, from 11am. However, closing times vary slightly depending on the time of year and month you visit the city.

During the summer months, the exhibition generally stays open until 8pm (last entry allowed at 7pm); in autumn until 6pm (with a last entry at 5pm) and with the arrival of winter in Las Vegas again at 8pm (last entry allowed at 7pm).

My recommendation is that, once you are sure of your travel dates, you should check the closing time before booking your tickets to the exhibition.

Finally, if you want to have the best possible experience take the following tips into consideration.

Time it right.

The Luxor Hotel and Casino is located in the southern part of the city, an easily accessible area, but a 20-25 minute drive from most of the resorts.

For example, if you're staying at or around The Venetian, you'll need to time your journey so you're not late for the exhibition.

Take the opportunity to visit the casino and explore the Luxor

If you buy a ticket to the exhibition you will have access to the Casino area, as well as explore the social areas of the hotel such as the gardens and restaurants. Take advantage!

The Luxor is a grand hotel with luxurious and impressive architecture.

Say no to photo requests

As soon as you arrive at the exhibition, a staff member will ask you to pose in front of a green screen before you enter. You can politely decline the request, unless you are interested in buying souvenir photos at a price of 20€ or more per photo.

You can take photos in the exhibition

Inside the exhibition you are allowed to take pictures as long as you meet the following requirements: firstly, no flash on your camera or mobile phone and secondly, no videos for commercial purposes are allowed unless you ask for permission in advance.
