Although Las Vegas isn’t as cheap as it used to be, many shows, attractions, and things to do offer military discounts to active-duty military members and veterans.
I figured it’d be helpful to point out which attractions offer discounts to veterans and those currently serving, because, quite frankly, you’ve earned it.
The motivation to put something like this together is the amount of “fluff” out there on the internet with BS deals, deals that are long gone, etc.
An accurate resource was much needed.
Attractions on the Strip
Swingers Crazy Golf at Mandalay Bay: Swingers charges $20-$35 for all-you-can-golf tickets, depending on the day, and their military discount knocks that down by 25%.
Discounted tickets are only available as a walk-up, and they advise calling (725) 201-1422 to confirm availability.
I left Swingers unimpressed, but it’s notably less expensive now, and you’re no longer limited to 9 holes.
HyperX Esports Arena at Luxor: Luxor’s Esports arena offers gaming (the video game kind of gaming) by the hour for a set price ($15 for 1 hour, $25 for 2 hours, etc.) and offers a military discount of 15%.
Museum of Illusions: Located mid-Strip (just south of Cosmopolitan), the Museum of Illusions is a lot of fun. I was skeptical going in, but I’ve been back 2x and loved it. The coolest illusions are the ones you get to be IN and take pictures of.
Military members save $5.
Bodies… The Exhibition at Luxor: Bodies leverages 13 whole-body specimens and 260+ partial body specimens to provide a look under the hood of the human body. They also offer a $5 military discount, which is redeemable at the box office.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Luxor: Another educational attraction at Luxor, Titanic offers a $5 military discount at the box office.

Play Playground at Luxor: Home to 20+ interactive games, Play Playground lets adults get their competitive juices flowing and see who can top the leaderboard.
I recently checked out Play Playground and was pleased to learn they offer a 20% discount to military members, redeemable in person only.
Big Apple Coaster at NYNY: Sending riders twisting, turning, diving, and even upside-down, the rooftop coaster at New York New York is plenty thrilling.
Military members save $7 and can buy up to 4 passes at that rate.
Adventuredome at Circus Circus: On the topic of rides, Circus Circus’ indoor theme park offers a $ 2-per-person military discount when purchasing tickets in person.

Princess Diana Las Vegas: Military members can explore artifacts from Princess Diana’s life at a $4 discount. The attraction is in The Shops at Crystals, in front of Aria.
Take a look inside the Princess Diana Exhibition!
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: Also located in the Shops at Crystals, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel brings the 34 frescoes of the Sistine Chapel down to eye level.
They offer a $5 military discount, but full disclosure: I thought it was a tad boring, albeit educational.
Topgolf: You’ve likely heard of Topgolf before, but the Vegas version is next level. Multiple bars, hundreds of screens, a two-level pool, and golf. All tucked right behind MGM Grand.
As part of their “Heroes Program”, Topgolf offers a 10% military discount on gameplay & room rentals and 20% off of memberships.
Dive In Movies at Cosmopolitan: During the summer, Cosmopolitan screens hit movies on their Boulevard Pool deck.
While admission typically costs $15 for non-hotel guests, military members get complimentary entry.
Madame Tussauds at Venetian: The attraction, dedicated to presenting life-like wax figurines of celebrities and politicians, offers a military discount of $8.50 off standard admission.
Check out my review of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
Real Bodies at Horseshoe: An attraction similar to Bodies at Luxor, Real Bodies also leverages human cadavers to explain the inner workings of the body. A military discount of $2 per ticket is offered in person at the box office.
I recently stopped in – See my Real Bodies Review!
STRAT’s SkyPod: Members of the military can score a significant 50% discount on tickets to STRAT’s SkyPod Observation Deck, which wails.
Grimaldi’s: The coal-fired oven pizzeria offers veterans and military members 15% off their check, any day of the year.
Attractions on Fremont Street
Neon Museum: A short distance from the Fremont Street Experience, the Neon Museum offers a military discount of $5.
I recommend adding their “Brilliant! Jackpot” light show, which illuminates historic signs in the boneyard at night with projection technology.
Mob Museum: A military discount is available both online and at the box office, good for $7 off any ticket.
The only catch is that you have to book for a pre-11am arrival.
Ensure you save some time to visit their Underground Speakeasy at the tail end of your visit!
Off-Strip Attractions
Atomic Museum: An attraction that may have additional appeal to members of the armed forces, the Atomic Museum details the development and testing of nuclear technology in the United States. A $2 discount is available to members of the military.
I recently stopped by – See my Review of the National Atomic Testing Museum!
Natural History Museum: Located a 5-minute Uber/Lyft from Fremont Street, the Natural History Museum aims to educate visitors on life forms past and present.
Inside, you’ll find exhibits dedicated to ancient Egypt, marine life, dinosaurs, and more.
Military members save $2 on tickets with a valid ID.

The Old Mormon Fort: Located next door to the Natural History Museum, the Old Mormon Fort offers a $1 discount to veterans and military members, reducing the cost from $3 to $2.
The fort is a historic site established by Mormon missionaries in 1855 and served as an important rest stop for travelers.
I recently visited the Old Mormon Fort and found the indoor museum, outdoor fort recreation, and Adobe building (the oldest still-standing building in NV) fascinating.
The Punk Rock Museum: Located a short drive from the Strip, The Punk Rock Museum is home to thousands of authentic artifacts that help tell the story of the musical genre.
In addition to museum-like displays, the museum is also home to a bar, tattoo shop, and a jam room which allows visitors to get hands-on with band-used instruments.
Military members can save 25% through their military discount.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
