Jackpot Journal Insider: 🎰 You Won’t Believe These 5 Must-See Museums in Las Vegas 😲
Skip the roulette wheel for a day and dive into the wild, weird, and wonderfully unexpected museum scene of Las Vegas. From glowing neon graveyards to haunted artifacts and punk rock rebellion, Sin City’s got more than just slots and shows. Here are 5 epic museums that’ll give you stories even crazier than your time on the Strip.

1. The Neon Museum

• Location: 770 N Las Vegas Blvd

• Cost: ~$25 for daytime; ~$35 for night tours

• About: A glowing graveyard of Vegas history, the Neon Museum is home to iconic signs from legendary hotels and casinos. Wander through towering letters and vintage bulbs that once lit up the Strip.

• Pro Tip: Book the night tour, the signs come to life with vibrant LED lighting and make for the perfect Instagram shots.

2. The Mob Museum

• Location: 300 Stewart Ave, Downtown Las Vegas

• Cost: ~$35 for adults; discounts available

• About: Step into the gritty underworld of organized crime and law enforcement. Explore everything from Al Capone’s days to wiretap surveillance, real mob artifacts, and even a courtroom where mob trials took place.

• Pro Tip: Head downstairs to The Underground Speakeasy, where your museum ticket gets you access to a hidden bar and working distillery. First responders get a discount.

3. The National Atomic Testing Museum

• Location: 755 E Flamingo Rd

• Cost: ~$29 for adults; discounts for students, military, and locals

• About: Learn about the era when Vegas was just a short drive from nuclear test sites. This Smithsonian-affiliated museum features Cold War artifacts, radiation gear, atomic bomb replicas, and first-person accounts of nuclear history.

• Pro Tip: Don’t miss the simulated atomic blast experience—it’s intense but unforgettable.

4. The Haunted Museum (Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum)

• Location: 600 E Charleston Blvd

• Cost: ~$54 for general admission (includes guided tour)

• About: Hosted by “Ghost Adventures” star Zak Bagans, this haunted house–style museum features cursed objects, serial killer relics, and rooms said to be genuinely haunted. Think: Dybbuk boxes, creepy dolls, and even a haunted staircase from Indiana.

• Pro Tip: If you’re brave enough, ask for the "RIP Experience", a scarier, adults-only version of the tour with access to the most disturbing artifacts.

5. Punk Rock Museum

• Location: 1422 Western Ave

• Cost: ~$30 for self-guided; ~$40 for guided tours with punk legends

• About: Co-founded by NOFX frontman Fat Mike, this raw and rowdy museum is dedicated to the entire history of punk, from stage-worn outfits and old flyers to playable guitars and punk dive bar vibes.

• Pro Tip: Opt for a guided tour, you might just get walked through the museum by a real-life punk legend. And yes, you can play the instruments in the jam room.

• Vegas Hack: Wear comfy shoes and bring water—it’s a lot of walking (and possibly ghost-dodging).

Vegas isn’t just about gambling, these museums pack more stories, scares, and stage dives than any blackjack table. Add them to your itinerary and walk away with a different kind of jackpot: unforgettable memories.

🚨 "New Jersey Cracks Down on ‘Free’ Casino Sites

Sweepstakes casinos, those so-called “free” online gaming sites, might be living on borrowed time in the Garden State. While they market themselves as legal alternatives to online gambling, lawmakers are now drawing a hard line. With a new bill passed in both the Assembly and Senate, New Jersey is poised to ban these platforms outright, joining a growing number of states sounding the alarm.

What Are Sweepstakes Casinos?

These sites let users play slots and table games using virtual currencies like “gold coins” and “sweeps coins.” Gold is for fun, while sweep coins can be redeemed for real cash. Operators claim it’s all legal under sweepstakes laws, since players technically don’t have to buy anything to play. But critics argue it's gambling by another name, sidestepping licensing, taxes, and safety measures.

Why the Ban Is Coming

New Jersey’s new legislation directly targets the dual-currency model used by these platforms. Lawmakers say the sites lack age checks, self-exclusion tools, and consumer protections. Once the bill is signed by the governor, sweepstakes casinos will have to shut down operations in the state immediately—or face serious fines.

States like Connecticut and Montana have already banned sweep casinos, and more are considering similar laws. What once looked like a legal gray area is quickly turning black and white, especially as regulators look to protect consumers and level the playing field for licensed operators.

Bottom line: if you’re playing sweeps in Jersey, your free ride might be coming to an end.

🎰 🎉Big Winner of the Week – Paul Corcoran wins $2 million on accident 🎰

Paul Corcoran of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, became a millionaire twice in one night after buying two identical winning Powerball tickets for the July 9 drawing, each worth $1 million. Corcoran had already purchased a multi-draw ticket covering seven games, but mistakenly thought the July 9 drawing had already passed. Less than 10 minutes later, he bought another ticket for the same drawing at a different store, unknowingly giving himself a second shot at the prize.

Both tickets matched all five white balls…5, 9, 25, 28, and 69, falling just one red Powerball short of the $217 million jackpot. Corcoran said he’s been playing those same random numbers for quite some time. The two stores that sold the winning tickets, Market Basket in Fitchburg and Country Farms in Leominster, will each receive $10,000. Despite his unexpected windfall, Corcoran says he has no immediate plans for the $2 million.
