Real Bodies

I seen an exhibit like this when it initially toured the country, way back when in Pittsburgh. While in Vegas, and on some downtime after a very busy day, a colleague and I decided to take in the exhibit at The Horseshoe.We started this by securing our tickets online. It's the easiest way to do so and makes checking in here so much easier. They scan your QR code and then you are set on your way to go about the exhibit at a self pace. However, do be mindful if you show up towards closing hours. If you happen to be in the exhibit when it closes they will find you in the exhibit and escort you out whether you have finished seeing all there is to see or not.I will have to say that this is much smaller than when I initially saw it. And I cannot compare this to the other exhibit located at another casino/resort. But it gets everything in that should be there.You walk through the body and all the systems held within. Seeing parts of the body that you may not recognize. Each exhibit within has descriptors that will clue you into what you are looking at. Some of my favorites were the circulatory system and nervous system. One of the creepiest exhibits is the skin. Hanging behind a curtain, it just looks ghostly. After you have viewed the whole exhibit you come back out into the gift shop area. Trinkets that you would expect to find are available here. Check the prices and signs around some of them as when they ring up they may not reflect what is marked or posted.

Located in the Horseshoe Casino Real Bodies was definitely my favorite! It's a display of human bodies illustrating various aspects of anatomy, medicine, birth & death. Mind blowing is an understatement!

I've always liked the bodies exhibit. I went years ago when it was first here and again with family. There's something about the way they show you just how incredible the human body is. While I would love more informative facts as the original had, this exhibit was great to. Not very crowded and a walk yourself tour makes it easy to go at your own pace so you can focus on the parts that are more interesting to you.

Displays of the human anatomy [Las Vegas NV] I'm not sure if this is the same exhibit as the one in Luxor that we also visited many years ago but this Real Bodies exhibit is located on the lower level at the Horseshoe (formerly Ballys). The displays are preserved real human bodies, specimens, and art installations. For me the exhibit I found most interesting was the comparison between a smoker's and non-smoker's lungs. That's powerful stuff and some visitors have chucked those smokes away in a clear glass case. Let's hope to have that case filled. Real Bodies did a great job in displaying the specimens and we found them both educational and informative. Like did you know babies are born with 300 bones, while adults only have 206? Where do they go!? And that the average speed of a sneeze is about 100 miles per hour? whoa... please cover mouth when sneezing.The Wall of Bones exhibit was modeled after an Ossuary. The catacombs in Paris are the most famous example of an Ossuary. The Love locks on the fence was interesting too. I was more interested with the exhibit than my hubby was, who found them morbid.

Overrated. The exhibit was extremely small and not worth the high admission prices. I went to something similar years ago in LA Science Center, and it so much better than this one. Some of the stuff on display was cool, but totally not worth the price of admission. If you can get discounted tix, it would be better. Still not good, but better.

If you are in Vegas this is a must see and currently on display at the Horseshoe Casino. I learned so much about this fragile vessel that we call the human body. To learn how it works from the womb to the tomb was absolutely amazing. They also have an app where you can listen to a guided tour or go and just read on your own. They also have a bar across the way but if you go to the early Real Bodies tour at 11am be prepared to not go to the bar as it opens at 1pm. The staff is so helpful and cool and willing to share their knowledge about the exhibit.

An amazing experience. I loved it. The fetal was a little jarring to see in person, but this whole exhibit was tastefully done. I would fully recommend everyone visit.

I had a wonderful admiring the intricate and precise cadavers on display, especially as someone who has very recently participated in dissecting a cadaver personally. They do a wonderful job of being able to see everything clearly as well as labeling the more obvious structures. I appreciated the layout based on certain body systems as well as the descriptions of each. I would definitely come again the next time I am in the area!

This Exhibit really opened my eyes to how fragile our bodies are. There are so many individual components that are packed tightly inside of our bodies, and they all work together simultaneously to keep us alive, strong and healthy. Although we mistreat our bodies day in and day out, our bodies are mostly capable of regenerating and healing itself over time. It's pretty awesome to get a chance to get up close and personal to see and learn about the human body in all its glory.Located in Horseshoe Hotel/Casino (Formally Bally's), the Real Bodies exhibit is very easy to find. Just follow the signs. If you are driving, the parking garage behind Paris is the closest, it's roughly a 10 minute walk after you've parked. Locals can park for free up to 3 hours, and non-locals get free parking for the first hour.As for entry tickets, you can either buy your tickets online, or wait until you arrive and buy them at the entrance. Locals get a discount off of the ticket price, so make sure to bring your Nevada ID to get your discount. The exhibit is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Although these are "Real Bodies", the displays are very informative and you really get the feeling that each body was handled with dignity, respect, and thoughtful consideration of how it would be displayed. I visited shortly after noon on Monday and there was no crowd. I spent almost 2.5 hours here reading and looking at everything thoroughly. Some people trickled in and out while I was here, but it never got crowded during my visit. Overall, this is a great exhibit if you're interested in learning more about your own body. I'm not in the medical field, so this was my crash course on the human body and all it's functions. I don't recommend this exhibit for children under 13 years, as some of the contents might be disturbing for them.Highly Recommended!

I didn't want to add all the pictures I took because I feel like it's something you really need to see in person! The Real Bodies exhibit exceeded my expectations. I feel like the music, quotes, and facts on the walls really added to the experience. I'll be starting massage therapy school in the fall and felt like this would be a fun way to learn more about anatomy - I learned so much and it made me even more excited for my upcoming classes! The human body is amazing, and this exhibit does a wonderful job capturing that.
