Welcome to Viva Lost Vegas

Viva Lost Vegas is an interactive exhibit that pays homage to Old Las Vegas and the faces that turned a once sandbox into the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Step into a reimagined casino from the 1960s-1980s Las Vegas and interact with the objects in the environment to experience the stories and lost history of the people who carved the path of this desert town.  Viva Lost Vegas transports you to this iconic era where nostalgia, history and immersion lure you into a world lost to time.

Las Vegas has experienced booming growth over the last 60 years, going from a small gambling town to a 5-star, luxury vacation destination. But with each passing day, more and more of Old Las Vegas and the people who built this city are slowly slipping away. Viva Lost Vegas is an interactive and growing museum exhibit that brings visitors back to the heyday of Downtown and the Strip.

Viva Lost Vegas aims to explore the different pillars and people who laid the foundation for the fabulous city.  From bellmen to cocktail waitresses, entertainers to patrons, through the narratives of these individuals who helped bring Las Vegas to life, visitors dive into their shoes and interact with the objects in the environment to experience what it was like to be part of the action in 1960s – 1980s Las Vegas, when anything was imaginable and everything was happening.
