If you're planning a trip to Las Vegas in the near future, you likely have obvious reasons for the visit. However, among the various tourist attractions on your itinerary, consider adding a new experience you've probably never encountered before. A recently opened entertainment facility in America's premier tourist destination has acquired multiple Merkava Mark 2 tanks, and visitors can actually ride these legendary armored vehicles.

An Israeli Facebook community of former Armored Corps soldiers, boasting roughly 7,000 members, shared details about this facility. The group stated, "Served on Mark 2 tanks during mandatory service and can't shake the nostalgia? Young and eager to understand how past military victories were achieved? This tank-focused entertainment venue acquired multiple Mark 2 tanks specifically to convert them into attractions for Americans."
