I've been to the Aotmic Testing Museum. Very interesting place to visit. Of course, the ATM focuses on a very narrow field of science. A broader cience museum would be great. The population here is certainly big enough to support one. And with all of the K-12 schools here it would be a great educational benefit for a lacking school system. A fifth grade field trip to the Franklin Institute of Science in Philadelphia sold me on future career in science.
As far as cost goes, you have to amortize the construction costs over the potential several decade lifespan of the museum. Then, it's pretty cheap. Plus, I'm sure there will be corporate and other private benefactors to help with costs. I can see solar power entities like Ausra, Nevada Solar One as well as traditional science related companies like NV Energy and others chipping in.
