Vegas Baby, Vegas! But How Many Museums Does This Neon Oasis Actually Have?

The Great Vegas Museum Count: A Hilarious Journey (Not Really, But It Keeps Things Interesting)
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Fear not, intrepid traveler! We've combed the desert sands (well, figuratively, unless your hotel room has questionable housekeeping) to unearth the truth about Vegas' museum scene. Here's what we discovered:
- Wikipedia Says: According to the esteemed online encyclopedia (because who else would you trust with your pop culture trivia?), there are around 14 museums in the Las Vegas area [Category:Museums in Las Vegas - Wikipedia]. But hey, Wikipedia is like that cool cousin who always has a story, but you never know if it's 100% accurate.
- Tourist Traps or Treasure Troves?: Las Vegas also boasts a plethora of unique exhibits and "experiential museums" that might not qualify as museums in the traditional sense. Think Omega Mart, an immersive grocery store art installation that'll make you question your reality (and maybe crave a questionable snack). So, depending on how you define "museum," the number could be much higher.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
