Sick of your selfie self yet? Likely not. The Museum of Selfies opened last year in Hollywood as a place for anyone to Insta-indulge. A second site will open next Friday in the Miracle Mile Shops on the Las Vegas Strip.

Some of the photo opps will be similar to those in LA. Expect to dive into the sea of yellow balls in the Emoji Pool; pose with the Selfie Throne made of selfie sticks; and share the Bathroom Selfie, where someone else is reflected in the mirror.

Tickets cost $23 for adults and $17 for children. It will be open 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Prefer more authentic places to snap a shot? The city of Las Vegas has compiled its own list of cool selfie sites that are outdoors — and free:

• “Radial Symmetry” by Luis Varela-Rico features two richly textured “stainless steel radial shapes inspired by Southern Paiute basket weaving,” the city’s website says. It’s at Main and Commerce streets near the Arts District.

• The crosswalk at Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street provides a glimpse of vintage Vegas, with the neon martini glass and the Fremont East sign.

• Wear stripes to snap “Pipe Dream,” a sculpture of metal pipes in all colors at Symphony Park.
