I recommend the National Atomic Testing Museum, which isn't as random as it seems to be located in Vegas. Vegas is near where the above-ground nuclear tests used to be held, and as various pictures in the museum attest, people could see the mushroom clouds from Vegas hotels.

The craters from those above ground tests can be seen really clearly on a sattelite map view. It's startling to see how many there are!

There's a fun book called We Swam the Grand Canyon. Near the beginning of the book, the author writes about how they were sleeping in a tent the night before they started out and then were awaked by the light, sound, and ground motion of an atomic explosion.
