There are A LOT of very old vehicles to include buses, trucks, RV's, and airplanes. You can get in the autos, not the planes. There is an open-air chapel, phone booth, and other old small buildings.
The area has no shortage of photo opportunities, and it covers a lot more ground than you might think by just looking at a map. If you want to explore most of the grounds, at least two hours would be suggested.

THE SKINNY
Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders, which rise over 30 feet tall. The artwork was designed by Swiss artist, Ugo Rondinone, and produced by the Nevada Museum of Art and the Art Production Fund in May of 2016. The exhibition was scheduled to be on display for two years; however, due to its popularity, the exhibition continues to be on display, with the Rondinone hoping to keep it in place for several years.
If choosing this location, it is highly recommended to schedule your photoshoot during a time of low visitor numbers. The area is small, making it difficult to photograph without other people in the shot.

THE SKINNY
Iconic. Legendary. Vintage. A lot of change has come to Las Vegas, but downtown still maintains the feeling of "old Vegas". It's vintage glitz and glamour with some grit.
It's easy to scooch around on foot or by car.
Weekdays in the morning are not busy at all. If you want the night shoot, Sunday - Thursday is best to avoid it being overcrowded.
