Nevada Test Site

You've probably heard the phrase "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Well the Nevada Test Site, about an hour's drive north of town, in the 1950s & 60s was the site of many atomic testing programs. The above ground testing did not stay in Vegas. Fast forward to today and there is a museum in Las Vegas that documents the testing. The Atomic Testing Museum has some interesting albeit eerie links to check out. Rather heavy stuff to consider, eh? I promise -- the next posts will contain "fun" things.
