Embrace the scaries with a spooky ghost tour.
In Las Vegas, there are plenty of ghost stories to go around. In fact, there are even some local ghost towns. Some of our favorites are Rhyolite, which includes a nearby open-air museum full of ghostly photo-ops; Nelson, featuring crashed planes, mine tours, and kayaking opportunities; and Pioche, a former home of numerous Wild West shootouts (trust us, you’ll want to read the gravestones).
If you’re looking to keep things a little more local, there are ghost tours available all over town, including on the Strip or other iconic locations. Try searching for Mob Tours or creepy museums – you’ll be amazed by all of the available options!
