With tickets offered to the general public just once a month, the day-long tour of the Nevada National Security Site is among the most sought-after experiences in Las Vegas.⁠ ⁠ Formerly known as the Nevada Test Site, the desert location saw 928 nuclear weapons tests between 1951 and 1992, one hundred of which were "atmospheric"—aka they erupted above ground with mushroom clouds visible from Las Vegas. From seeing the largest human-made crater to the site of an unfinished underground nuclear test, the legacy of the Atomic Age is alive and well here. ⁠ ⁠ But don’t even think about firing up your phone (or wearing shorts).
