A first-of-its-kind experience in Las Vegas, Paradox Museum not only provides attention-grabbing, entertaining moments but also leaves visitors in awe as they ponder what they just witnessed.’ Marc Gregory Tipton, regional sales and marketing manager at the Paradox Museum Las Vegas, said: ‘Meaning “contrary to expectation” or “incredible” in ancient Greek, the word paradox is defined as the opposite of or contradictory to common sense.
Catalina Casino was created in 1927. The museum says: ‘When rotated 90 degrees, an ordinary room with a few construction tricks plays with guests’ perception of reality.’ One highlight is the Upside Down Room, where ‘everything seems to defy gravity – that is, until guests turn their photos upside down and observe the only thing defying gravity is themselves’. To find out if your name is on a Casino blacklist one would have to contact the casino.

Then step inside the incredible Paradox Museum on the Las Vegas Strip. Fancy having your mind ‘tickled’? Pictured above is the ‘paradox sofa’ – which gives the impression that someone’s body has gone to pieces… Visitors can also enter the Ambiguous Shapes Room, a ‘casino slot machine-themed exhibit’ where objects can be rotated in front of a mirror to appear different from two perspectives. The museum says: ‘It is an optical illusion in which the observer’s mind abruptly changes the perspective of a picture or a shape.’ ‘Widely used in TV and movie productions to create special effects, the Ames Room principle includes the floor and ceiling built at an angle to trick the eye,’ the museum told MailOnline Travel.
‘Both sides of the room appear to be the same, but the actual shape is a trapezium.’ The fun continues in the Coloured Shadows Room, where three spotlights feature the primary colours of red, blue and yellow. ‘If a guest blocks one spotlight, they will then experience three different coloured shadows, including yellow, magenta and cyan.’ ‘If the spotlights shine with the same intensity, the overlapping beam of light will be white,’ says the museum. RIGHT: The Kaleidoscope room allows guests to create their own patterns using mirrors set in the shape of a three-sided prism LEFT: The Beuchet chair makes anyone sitting on it appear smaller than they actually are.
