How to Spend a Spooky Weekend in Las Vegas

Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum
Haunted house · Office Core District
"Learn about human greed, wrath, envy, and “evil spirits” as you take a two-hour guided tour of the thirty-some rooms and over 11,000 square feet of possessed objects, artwork, and displays like departed actress Sharon Tate’s eerily gorgeous wedding dress and a ghost trap from the Hollywood film Ghostbusters, which Bagans bought for a quarter of a million dollars."
Velveteen Rabbit
Bar · Downtown South
"Hop into the Velveteen Rabbit with its patio of 1950s and ‘60s pastel dreams, complete with a black and white photo booth. It also has a black light “Magic Box” machine that dispenses 80s time travel packs, plastic coffin-shaped cut-out earrings and “mystery bags” of goodies."
Jammyland Cocktail Bar & Reggae Kitchen
Cocktail bar · Downtown South
"Bring your gluttony across the street to Jammyland. Order the brat-wurst- which comes on a tasty bun with cilantro and shredded carrots, banh mi fusion style. [...] As for drinks, treat yourself to a “Hocus Pocus” if you want something fruity to ease you into the spooky season. It’s got watermelon, lime, rose and lavender flavors, with or without tequila."
Erotic Heritage Museum
Museum · South Las Vegas
"For lust, go down to Sammy Davis Drive, off the Strip, for a solid study of sexuality at the Erotic Heritage Museum, which has many striking exhibits spanning human existence and various continents to find out how we, as a species, have expressed our carnal desires."

Golden Steer Steakhouse Las Vegas
Steak house · Northern Strip
"Let’s continue with gluttony: Bring your hunger and curiosity to the classic Golden Steer on Sahara Avenue where there’s a whole Rat Pack room of booths. Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne also have their own booths across the way in the same steak house with impeccable service that’s been running for over 60 years."
Sinatra
Italian restaurant · South Las Vegas
"To extend that Rat Pack feeling, a few blocks away is Sinatra, a grand restaurant inside the Encore Resort and Casino on Las Vegas Boulevard, adjoining the Wynn. It’s signed off on by Frank Sinatra’s family. The decor is a deep pink. The booths look lined with dark Chanel suit fabric. You will die happy if you get the gnocchetti there. It’s impossibly smooth with its tiny bites of potato happiness. The clams and spaghetti are quite good as well, served in a tomato broth. Treat yourself to a cannoli or the panna cotta to make life extra sweet."
The Golden Tiki
Bar · The Asian District
"A little ways down on Spring Mountain road, you’ll find the Golden Tiki, where you can have any of your cocktails set on fire for an extra dollar. The food there is top notch, while the decor offers its own form of entrancement—you might find yourself next to cases of celebrity “shrunken heads” or a monster sized clam-shell. The glam and the service are out of this world. The bar and restaurant also has surf rock live entertainment."
Frankie's Tiki Room
Tiki bar · Scotch 80's
"If you’re in need of a cocktail at any time at all, Frankie’s Tiki Room on West Charleston is open for eternity: 24/7, every day of the year. Have the Surf Dragon in a cool matching mug, if strawberries and rum are your thing and you want to breathe fire yourself."
The Mob Museum
Museum · Downtown North District
"The Mob Museum, where you’ll learn about flappers and other outspoken women of the era, also covers greed, wrath, envy, lust, pride and gluttony with its own speak-easy in the basement. Check out the secret room behind the golden framed picture of a woman just as you come in, on the left side if you’re facing the bar."
The Neon Museum
Museum · Cultural Corridor
"At the Neon Museum, mug for photos with their spooky yesteryear Vegas lights and pieces from the Tim Burton “Lost Vegas” show that have become part of the permanent collection."

La Comida
Permanently Closed
"Have an enchilada, elote, or churros and a passion fruit margarita. The flan is simply to die for. Look for the monkey skeleton neon sign on 6th Street to find this upbeat eatery."
Caesars Palace
Casino hotel · South Las Vegas
"Lastly, for some sloth, find yourself a swimming pool lounger and lay about after you rack up thousands of steps a day walking the Strip or all the museums Vegas has to offer. Try any of the eight pools at the Garden of the Gods at Caesars Palace."
