Review:
While Las Vegas is now a thriving, vibrant, and exciting city where sleep is for the weak and indulging vices is the name of the game, it may surprise some that the area once acted as a nuclear testing site. Built in 1951 and referred to as the Nevada Test Site, its isolation made it the perfect place for atomic testing. If you have an interest in the Atomic Age, a visit to the National Atomic Testing Museum is a must. Featuring more than 12,000 artifacts, the museum tells the story of the nation’s nuclear program, the sociological trends, and the pop culture of one of the most controversial periods in American history.
