Far from the glitz and glam of the strip, the Nevada State Museum & Historical Society reminds visitors that Las Vegas had a history before it became a recreational mecca. Indeed, the Columbian Mammoth on display was a citizen of this very area 15 to 20 thousand years ago. And the Ichthyosaur Shonisaurus fossil was a Nevada resident 225 million years before that. The museum even reminds us that nature, like the native mountain sheep, still thrives around Las Vegas.
