The
Lied Discovery Children's Museum, a bit less than a mile north of
downtown on a very pedestrian-unfriendly stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard,
is a rather poor specimen of the modern breed of hands-on children's
museums. Occupying a few rooms of a city library building, it's far less
likely to stimulate childish imaginations than the wonders on the Strip.
Local kids on school trips enjoy the chance to paint, draw, and sculpt,
but even the youngest tourists may resent being dragged away from Luxor
or
Circus Circus.
There are a few typical Las Vegas
touches, like the fact that infant artists are rewarded for each work of
art that they create with forty "Discovery Dollars," which they can
withdraw from the Discovery ATM.

However, a significant proportion of the more
sophisticated displays tends to be broken at any one time, and
unless a good temporary exhibition is taking place (call ahead)
there's not a lot of point coming.
