What to see in Vegas rocketry and plane related?

I'm forced to go in order to maintain marital harmony. Any launches April 11 or airplane museums?

Maybe kinda sorta related???... Check out the National Atomic Testing Museum. Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in the Vegas area!

Try to get into Area 51. Report back with photos. Settle our alien debate once and for all.

Not quite Area 51, but you can always pop into the Little Ale-E-Inn in Rachel, NV for lunch. Lots of UFO memorabilia and such. Rachel is the closest community to the Groom Lake area.

I would try to stop by the Pawn Shop from the TV Show "Pawn Stars", and ask if they have taken in any rocketry related Items.
I saw one episode where they got a Seeker Head from an AIM-9 Missile.

Nellis AFB Threat Training Facility

There are other things not in the pictures. I'm old enough to remember seeing it when it was still classified. They gotten more stuff since then...

In the main concourse at McCarran they've got a replica of the Las Vegas VFR terminal chart set into the floor. Looks pretty cool from the 2nd floor.

Actually, nothing much new in years...ate lunch there today. Still cool to look at, however.

Balsa Machining is just south of Vegas.

+1 on both the training facility at Nellis and the Atomic Testing Museum. I've been to both and they are awesome.
