EAST OF THE STRIP. This university museum maintains a number of collections that document the area's past and present environments and peoples. Native American art and objects are displayed prominently, along with items that elucidate various Mesoamerican cultures. In addition, the museum features insect and bird collections, not to mention amphibian and reptile holdings ­ some are even shown live in the lobby! In the past, the museum has shown exhibits that trace the transformation of Las Vegas from desert town to gambling mecca and that showcase vanishing species.
