First location

The 1982 museum was located in Lorenzi Park but was moved into a new building in the Las Vegas Springs Preserve, where it opened on October 28, 2011.[4] [5]

Second location

The museum opened on October 29, in a building completed in 2009 Las Vegas Springs Preserve.[4] The building remained unused for two years as a result of state budget constraints from the 2000 economic slowdown.
