Golf Courses
This golf course exceeded all expectations—great layout, affordable prices, and an outstanding staff. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. When daylight savings pushed our 10 AM tee time to 11 AM, they were incredibly accommodating and managed to fit us in early when we arrived ahead of schedule. The course was in excellent condition, offering the perfect level of challenge, with greens that were smooth and well-kept. What really stood out was the hospitality. After our Uber ride back to the strip fell through, Curt, the store manager, generously offered to drive us himself—a trip that took nearly an hour and a half. The kindness and flexibility shown by the team were unforgettable. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this course to anyone!
Nasir M — Google review
Coyote Springs was my first taste of Nevada golf, and it set the bar high. The course is wide open with minimal protection, making it playable but still challenging—especially when the desert winds kick in. For being out in the middle of the desert, it's impressively well maintained. Greens rolled true, fairways were in great shape, and the scenery is something else. A great intro to desert golf—can’t wait to see how the rest of the courses stack up.
Kent S — Google review
Had a fun round with family at Coyote Springs. The course was in good shape and not nearly as expensive as a lot of the options closer to Vegas. Staff was friendly and the overall vibe was relaxed. They also had decent, well-priced food and beer, which made for a nice way to wrap up the round. Worth the drive if you’re looking for a solid course without the Strip prices.
Alexander K — Google review
Coyote Sringa is truly first class. The Fairways are friendly and exceptional manicured and the green are super fast but very receptive. The greens are guarded and require skill for your entry shot. The staff was helpful and so nice. Be sure to bring or get food as you DO NOT return at 9 to the clubhouse. All in all its well worth the trip from Vegas and I can't wait to play the Madter of Track again. Don't miss this corse!!!!!!

What an incredible experience. One that will stay with me forever. The views, the isolation, everything. The course was in great shape. So much so that I was blessed with the right conditions and an abundance of luck to get my first ace ever.

We loved playing here!!! This was my first time and Scott’s 2nd time! We will definitely be back!
Megan G — Google review
The course is just beautiful and it appears they grow their own grass and have a greenhouse to produce what they need which is quite brilliant. The course is tough if you’re not used to a pro environment but anyone can play it if you can hit the ball straight. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, however, we booked and paid for our round two months ago and even though the office had record, they did not have us on their list for the day but made it happen anyway. They accommodated us and we made our tee time with no problem. The course was breathtakingly quiet and peaceful and I hope to play here again one day…it is a definite “oasis in the desert”. My advice if you’re questioning whether or not to play here?…do it.

The Fremont Street Experience is a vibrant 24-hour destination in Downtown Las Vegas, offering a unique blend of neon lights, iconic imagery, and entertainment. Visitors can enjoy attractions like the Slotzilla zipline and the impressive Viva Vision video canopy. The area also features various dining options such as Hennessey's Tavern and Vic & Anthony's.
Crazy! Crazy yet. Extremely entertaining. Slightly rough on the edges but it added to its unique qualities. There was a moment in the evening when it was dark outside. They had amazing light show on the ceiling which was great fun and the music was just spot on for myself and my partner. The live entertainment is worth the visit. Food beers all cool and Harley would recommend the cheap gamblings casinos which was also entertaining
Kriss G — Google review
We had a blast. So full of people, music and lights. It was great. Awesome place to people watch, we don't drink or gamble so we just walked the street and we're blown away by everything there is to see. My husband bought an amazing painting off of one of the street artists. It was just a lot of fun, especially if you come from small town like I do and don't get to see this type of thing often.
Loretta B — Google review
Definitely worth checking out, but I must warn you that many of the casinos and street stores here evoke a nostalgic feeling for a reason. They’re not like the newer part of Vegas or the heart of the strip, but if you’re seeking a glimpse into the past, perhaps 3040 years ago, this is the place to be. One must-try is the outdoor circuit bar, where they still perform flare bartending, a skill that’s hard to find elsewhere in Vegas. I believe there’s also zip-lining available, and part of the street is covered with an LED ceiling, complete with a stage for live music, which I think is part of the Atomic Saloon. Overall, it’s a must-visit, but it could be something entirely different. I would like to see it more devoted to live music and live entertainment . The street performers are the heart of the place, so make sure to support them.
The C — Google review
Wow—what an unforgettable experience! Fremont Street Experience is pure Vegas magic! The lights, the music, the energy—everything here is absolutely electric. The canopy light show is breathtaking, and the live bands keep the vibe going all night long. I loved the mix of classic Vegas casinos and modern street entertainmen.it’s like stepping into the heart and history of the city all at once. Everywhere you look, there’s something exciting happening. If you want to feel the true spirit of Las Vegas, this is the place to be! Love from Canada 💕😘
Capt N — Google review
The ambiance here is fantastic, feeling more accessible and less pretentious than some areas of the Strip. You'll find live bands playing on multiple stages, often featuring high-energy cover artists that keep the crowd dancing. The street is also famous for its incredibly diverse and often bizarre street performers (be aware that tipping is expected if you take photos). It's a non-stop carnival atmosphere.
Yash P — Google review
I had come to the Fremont Street Experience for many years. My experience is getting better and better. I finally feel that Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas is better than the Strip. I think I will book a hotel in the Fremont Street area next time when I come to Vegas. The Fremont Street Experience is fun, with more activities and even livelier than any other area in Vegas. I enjoyed the nightlife here. I like the stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos here more.
Michael W — Google review
We came through on the Big Bus tour but we did not get to stop. From what we saw it will be an awesome adventure in the future. The place was bright and lively. We drove right down the middle and under the huge ceiling video screen that stretched what seemed to be as far as we could see.
Shawn J — Google review
Fremont Street is a must if you’re in Vegas for the first time. Cheap gambling, nonstop entertainment, and people-watching that deserves its own documentary. You will absolutely see something unforgettable — maybe even something you wish you hadn’t. I’m pretty sure I saw the best magic of my life here from about five feet away. Tip your street performers. They earn it. Go at night for the full effect, stick to the classic casinos for better odds, and keep your wallet close. If you want pure, unfiltered, chaotic Vegas energy, Fremont is it.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway Infield

Car racing venue

Auto Race Tracks
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a sprawling 1,200-acre complex that hosts NASCAR, drag racing, and special events. It's a haven for adrenaline-seeking couples looking for an exciting date night. The facility offers various driving experiences, including the NASCAR Racing Experience where participants can drive a NASCAR on a 1.5-mile tri-oval race track with banking in the turns while receiving instructions through in-car radio.
Had an amazing time at EDC they always go above and beyond and then some to make it amazing. Us a little crazy getting in and out of there but what else would you expect for the number of people there. However if you do the camping option once you get in and set up it's super easy getting in and out of the actual festival. Would highly recommend it for anyone who likes electronic music. It's a bit expensive but worth every penny"

Had a great time at the smx final. The track was big, they had screens to see what was happening out of sight. Was able to bring in water and some snack so that was very nice. Well run event. Lost one star for getting out of the event. Very little traffic control. Took 45min to an hour to get out. Park near the exits!

So many activities in the Fan Experience area for people of all ages. Budwiser Clydesdales were on the scene plus games for the kids and plenty of places to drink and tons of food options. This all added to the race experience and made it a full and memorable day.

Great Racetrack, Disappointing Concessions Our recent trip to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway was a fantastic experience overall. We had seats in Sec E row 64 awesome seats, which provided an excellent vantage point of the track. The facility itself is impressive, clean, and well-organized. Watching the race was an incredible thrill, with great sightlines and an electric atmosphere that you can only get at a live NASCAR event. The sound and speed were amazing, and we have no complaints about the racing action or the venue itself. However, the experience was significantly let down by the food and concessions. While we expected "at the track" pricing, the costs were truly excessive. We paid a premium for all our food and drinks throughout the day. To make matters worse, the service portions were very little for what we paid. It was disappointing to spend so much and receive such small amounts of food. It felt like a poor value, which put a damper on an otherwise perfect day. In short, while the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a top-notch facility for racing, I would strongly recommend eating a big meal before you arrive or being prepared for extremely expensive food and very small portions.

Great race ,but $14.00 beers should be cold and ride share was a nightmare ( got dropped 4 times and there were numerous ride sharing people price gouging. 100-180 a person) definitely know why now. There were so many seats available. The shuttle service was 100 per person
Davy C — Google review
Our first time here was a learning experience. A lack of signage in the parking areas and seating area made finding out Nascar seats difficult. Compared to other venues in Kansas City and Dover, it seemed like the venue was past its prime and needs a refresh. Pros = Free parking is available. Assigned seats. Cons = We walked a half mile from parking to the only gate that was open, then walked another quarter mile to the end of the stadium where we were seated. Once there, a family had decided to sit in our 4 assigned seats. They did not offer to mo e but told us we could sit further down the row where they had purchased seats 😐. Where we were seated in "family pack" section where 4 tickets were 79.99,, the audio was difficult to hear, display was small and could not be seen, and smokers were smoking next to us. When we departed after the race, there were no signs guiding people to the separated VIP/handicap or General parking, but these lots were divided by a chain link fence. Many of us walked quite a ways before realizing we could not get through to the other side unless we backtracked. With improved signs and some helpful event staff, things like this could be avoided and add to the enjoyment of the event.

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is a stunning atrium located within the luxurious Bellagio Resort & Casino. Throughout the year, a team of 120 horticulturists meticulously arrange thousands of flowers into breathtaking seasonal displays inspired by global events and natural themes. The 14,000-square-foot garden features vibrant plants, flowers, trees, gazebos, bridges, and ponds that change with each season.
This space was thoughtfully and beautifully curated for the fall season. It was vibrant and full of life. There were ample spaces to take photos if you don’t mind pausing to let people walk in front of you. The people visiting were extremely friendly. It felt like stepping in to a secret wonderland away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. I would recommend. My only complaint is I wish it were bigger.
Q H — Google review
Crowds permitting, this is a beautiful place to walk through. I love how it's always changing. The smell is pleasant, and you can really feast your eyes on all the flowers and sculptures. I also appreciate how the fountains use recycled rain water (I should have taken a picture of the sign for the specific).
GreenEyedGuide — Google review
The Bellagio Conservatory feels like something straight out of one of my thriller novels. As a thriller author, I’m always drawn to spaces that mix beauty with tension, and this one has that quiet, cinematic energy. It’s controlled chaos in a story. When I visited in November, it was set up with beautiful autumn colors. There’s a spitting frog, a pool with owls, and a giant green pumpkin surrounded by elegant place settings. Everything is absolutely stunning. It’s always busy in the evening, and honestly, I’ve never been here when it wasn’t. The main center display is incredible, showing off rich fall tones and detailed seasonal art. This is one of those places where you can’t help but stop and take it all in. Walking around the base display, there’s a huge tree and the massive pumpkin near the café area. Too bad the café seating isn’t open, because I’d love to sit there and work on one of my thriller novels. I took a slow-motion video of the owls perched beside the pumpkin, and another of the water fountain flowing from the pumpkin itself. The Bellagio Conservatory is one of those Vegas sights that never disappoints.

The Bellagio Conservatory is a true oasis in the middle of the Strip! The seasonal floral displays are absolutely stunning — every detail is beautifully designed, with vibrant colors, creative themes, and larger-than-life arrangements that change five times a year (Spring, Summer, Harvest, Winter, and Lunar New Year). It’s free to visit and open 24 hours a day, though early mornings or late evenings are the best times to avoid crowds. The combination of flowers, sculptures, and soft music makes it a peaceful escape from the Vegas bustle. Truly a must-see attraction inside the Bellagio — perfect for photos and a quick break between casino lights and shows. 🌸🌿✨

A must-see Vegas tradition! The Bellagio Conservatory is always stunning — it’s free to wander and perfect for taking photos or videos. Yes, it gets crowded, but it’s absolutely worth it. We visit every year, and the displays never disappoint — the flowers and seasonal décor are always breathtaking. If you have even a little extra time in Vegas, make sure to add this to your list. It’s one of those experiences that truly captures the magic of the city!

Ferris wheel

Observation Decks & Towers
The High Roller is a must-visit attraction in Las Vegas, offering breathtaking views of the city. This 550-foot-tall Ferris wheel features spacious observation cabins that can hold up to 40 people. Visitors can enjoy a 30-minute trip over the Las Vegas Strip, taking in stunning 360-degree views of the Vegas Valley.
The High Roller Ferris wheel is an incredible experience and a must do for anyone visiting Las Vegas. The ride lasts about 30 minutes, offering plenty of time to take in the breathtaking views as you slowly ascend. Once you reach the midpoint and especially the very top, the panoramic scenery is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend experiencing it at night. Seeing the entire Las Vegas Strip illuminated with vibrant lights creates an unforgettable view that captures the city’s energy and charm. The ride itself is smooth, enjoyable and offers a unique perspective you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to see Las Vegas, the High Roller Ferris wheel is definitely worth it.

High Roller Las Vegas Review – A Must-Do Scenic Ride on the Strip I recently had the chance to ride the High Roller Observation Wheel in Las Vegas, and it was truly a memorable experience. Located at The LINQ Promenade, this 550-foot tall attraction offers one of the best panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and beyond. What I Enjoyed: Breathtaking 360° Views: From the top, the views of the Strip, city skyline, and surrounding desert landscape are absolutely stunning ,especially during sunset. Relaxing and Smooth Ride: The entire rotation takes about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. Spacious, Comfortable Cabins: The cabins are air-conditioned, clean, and spacious, offering a comfortable ride even in peak Vegas heat. Family-Friendly and Accessible: It’s a great activity for all ages , calm, scenic, and perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers. Pro Tips: Visit at sunset or after dark for the best combination of city lights and desert sunset. Book tickets online to skip the lines and possibly save on pricing. Bring a good camera or phone, the photo opportunities are fantastic, especially from the top. If you’re looking for a relaxing and scenic activity that showcases a different side of Las Vegas, the High Roller at the LINQ is definitely worth adding to your itinerary.

We really enjoyed our experience on the High Roller - the views of Vegas at night are hard to beat! This is roughly a 30 minute ride in a spacious pod with 360 degree views. The pods move smoothly and slowly so you will not notice the movement. If you are trying to keep the party going while onboard, they offer drinks before you board - at elevated prices. Keep in mind that they do bag checks before you enter, so you are not allowed to bring in outside drinks. The only negative is that they had us enter and exit the pod while the pod was moving, which seemed a little sketchy to me. One miss step could mean a guest falls off the platform. I did noticed that they stopped the pods for some guests, though. The pods move really slow, but the risk of a fall is still there. The overall experience was too good to knock the rating. If you are staying at a Cesars-run hotel and have not signed up for the rewards program - do it! My tickets were free as a new member of the program.
Amber L — Google review
It's interesting. Slow and steady. We went during daylight hours so we could see the mountains in the distance. At night it might be more exciting to see the lights. It was a 30 min ride but felt quick. It was roomy in there. The two of us were in there with 5 others. Plenty of room for people to move around and take pics and not feel crowded. We brought our own drinks with us but there was a bar right before you get on. I think we paid $22 each. I'm not sure I would say this is a must-see but it was interesting enough for something to experience while we were in Vegas

This is definitely a must-visit attraction when you’re in Vegas! I highly recommend going at night the view is absolutely stunning with all the lights from the Strip glowing below. I got two tickets through Groupon, which was super easy and convenient, and the whole experience was well worth it. When we went, there was a family with little kids who were a bit loud and energetic just being kids so that was a small distraction. But aside from that, I really enjoyed the experience. Once you’re up there, you get an incredible panoramic view of the entire Strip and beyond. Seeing all the hotels, lights, and energy of Vegas from above is something you really can’t describe until you experience it yourself. If you’re planning a trip to Vegas, make sure to add this to your list it’s one of those experiences that gives you a whole new perspective of the city and makes for some amazing memories (and photos, too!).
NAVi A — Google review
We bought tickets online ahead of time from Groupon and just had to show out passes and got right on- no wait. We went during a Friday around 1 pm and got right on the ride. Also the ride overall takes about 30 minutes to complete which is so nice. The view from the top overlooks and it taller than most casinos. I would definitely go again and recommend it. It’s worth the price.
Wendy R — Google review
The High Roller Happy Half Hour is hands-down one of the fastest ways to get a strong buzz in Vegas. If you have a Caesars Rewards card, you can usually grab a deal on the regular ride and then upgrade to the open-bar cabin for around $25 — easy win. Great for a group of 5–10, especially around sunset or after dark when the Strip looks insane from up top. Our bartender was on it the whole time and even snapped some great photos for us. If you want a fun, quick, no-effort pregame in the sky, this is the move. Highly recommend

Great views of LV and the surrounding area! Relaxed ride that plays an informative video while you take the trip. Daytime rides are less busy, a little cheaper, and just as interesting as later ones. Check Groupon for bargain ticket prices!

The Fountains of Bellagio are a must-see attraction in Las Vegas, known for their dramatic aquatic shows choreographed with music and lights. Located at the iconic Bellagio Hotel, these fountains offer a mesmerizing experience as they dance in sync with various musical genres.
The Bellagio Fountain and Gardens are absolutely stunning! 🌸💦 The fountain show is magical — perfectly timed with the music and lights — and truly captures the spirit of Las Vegas. The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens inside the Bellagio are beautifully designed with seasonal themes and vibrant flowers. A perfect spot for photos, relaxation, and a bit of peace amid the Vegas buzz. Definitely a must-visit! 🌺✨

The Fountains of Bellagio are hands-down one of the best free attractions on the Strip. The way the water, lights, and music come together feels theatrical every time—and you don’t even need to be a guest to enjoy it. What I loved: • The music pairings are tasteful and dramatic. • Shows run frequently (every 15–30 minutes), especially at night. • Best viewed from across the street or from a Bellagio fountain-view room. • It’s free, iconic, and always draws a crowd for a reason. A few small drawbacks: • Crowded during peak times—get there early for a clear view. • Sound quality can vary depending on where you’re standing.

The Bellagio Fountains are simply mesmerizing! 💦✨ Watching them is pure joy — the graceful movements of the water, perfectly synchronized with calm, soothing music, create such a magical atmosphere. The lights add an extra touch of beauty, making the whole experience unforgettable. It’s the kind of place where you can just stand for hours, letting yourself relax and soak in the serenity. I highly recommend visiting — it’s a perfect escape to feel calm and at peace.

Well worth viewing both afternoon time and night time. On roughly every 30 mins from about lunch time until about 11pm if I remeber correctly? Wonderful sight and is done to songs which give it an impact. The bridge viewing can get busy for viewing and is narrow. So get there earlier for the next showing. The time of our visit, the main road was cut off due to getting ready for the motor racing, which caused more congestion on the bridge. But if you get a hotel room which backs onto the show, you have front row as many times as you like! But you won't hear the music. Absolutely stunning! Could watch 100 times over!

The Fountains of Bellagio are one of those Vegas moments you just can’t skip. The show feels almost cinematic as over 1,200 water jets dance across the 8.5-acre lake in perfect sync with music and lights. The tallest bursts reach an impressive 460 feet into the air. It’s a beautifully choreographed display that turns a simple stop on the Strip into a memorable experience.

The Bellagio Fountains are, without a doubt, one of Las Vegas's most breathtaking and essential attractions. Seeing them in person is an entirely different experience than watching a video; the sheer scale, timing, and power of the show are stunning. The choreography, perfectly synchronized to diverse music, turns simple water into a majestic performance that feels genuinely emotional.

The Fountains of Bellagio are one of the most iconic sights in Las Vegas. Set in front of the Bellagio Hotel, the water dances in sync with music and lights, creating a magical show that feels different every time. It’s free to watch and always draws a crowd, making it a must-see on the Strip. The atmosphere is romantic and exciting, whether you catch the show during the day or at night when the lights make it even more stunning. It’s the perfect spot to pause, take in the view, and enjoy a little Vegas magic.

I didn't stay at the Bellagio which is why I am giving it a 4 star. However their flower show was awesome and the pastry from the pastry shop was amazing. Which they had more options but what they had was great. Did water fountain show outside the Bellagio is great to watch but make sure to get a good spot early.

Observation Decks & Towers
The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck at the Paris Las Vegas hotel offers an unforgettable experience, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and its surroundings from 460 feet above. This half-scale replica of the iconic French landmark is a popular attraction, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a taste of Paris while enjoying 360-degree views of the city and beyond. The observation deck on the 46th floor provides expansive vistas, especially stunning at night when the city lights up.
I’m really glad I visited the Eiffel Tower viewing deck during my visit to the Strip. The elevator ride is quite nice and if you’re standing in front of the elevator doors on the ride up you can take some cool video as it travels to the top. The views of the strip from the deck are very nice and you can see a lot of the other landmarks from there. I went during the day and I really enjoyed the view and I can only imagine the view if it was dark outside. It’s a great place to take cool photos.
Michael T — Google review
Since we were staying at Paris Las Vegas, visiting the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck was a must after admiring it at sunrise and again at night when it lights up beautifully. Going up at night was an amazing experience—the tower looked stunning, and the 360° view of downtown Vegas from the deck was incredible. We entered around 11 pm (it’s open until midnight), so there wasn’t anyone at the entrance taking photos, which made entry quick, though we did wait about 10 minutes for the elevator. With the extreme heat warning, even the breeze felt warm and humid, but it’s absolutely worth a visit for a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Vegas.
Sridutt M — Google review
The experience in the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower was outstanding from beginning to end. We purchase our tickets in advance & went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't crowded. The tower entrance is conveniently located at the front door of the casino. The process was fairly quick & easy with a short wait for the elevator. The elevator operator was quite informative on the way up. The night view of the Las Vegas Strip from the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck is awesome. I had to adjust my phone to compensate for the fencing, however, I was still able to get some great pictures & videos. We were also able to get a good view of the Fountains of Bellagio.

I'm absolutely terrified of heights but the fear was not going to win! It was incredible. The views were amazing! Would recommend going even if you're afraid of heights. The staff were super calming too and helped when it was scary!

I actually visited the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck twice—once during the day and again at night—and both experiences were amazing in their own way. At night, the 360° view of Vegas all lit up was just breathtaking, especially watching the Bellagio fountains from above. The process to get up was smooth and the elevator ride itself was pretty cool. Even with the fencing, I still managed to capture some awesome shots and videos. Whether you go solo like me or with friends, I highly recommend doing both day and night if you can. Totally worth it!
Jorge D — Google review
The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck offers a breathtaking view of the Las Vegas Strip, and watching the Bellagio Fountain show from above was unforgettable. The lights, music, and water display looked even more magical from that height. A must-do experience for a perfect Vegas night! I bought 2 day all inclusive pass which includes more than 40 attractions. It was way cheaper than buying tickets at the same time.
Pratibha J — Google review
It’s an okay experience. You do get great views from the top. It does take some time to get to the top and you can stay up there for as long as you want. We went at night and that was cool. Not a ton of space at the top. Overall, a decent experience, you should experience it at least once.
Devin G — Google review
The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck at Paris Las Vegas was a wonderful surprise — a peaceful escape from the busy Strip with absolutely gorgeous views of the city. From the top, you get a perfect view of the Bellagio Fountains, the Strip skyline, and the surrounding mountains. We went up just before sunset and highly recommend that time — you get to see the city in daylight, enjoy the sunset from above, and then watch the lights come alive across Las Vegas. It’s incredibly romantic and a great spot for memorable photos. Tips for future visitors: • Buy tickets online in advance to skip the line and sometimes get a small discount. • Arrive about 30–45 minutes before sunset to secure a good spot. • Bring a light jacket — it can get windy and a bit chilly at the top, even on warm evenings. • If you want a quieter experience, go on a weekday rather than the weekend. The staff was helpful and the elevator ride up was quick and smooth. Whether you’re a couple, a solo traveler, or with friends, the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck offers a beautiful perspective of Las Vegas you won’t forget!

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Circus
Concerts & Shows
KÀ by Cirque du Soleil is a visually stunning and action-packed show located at the KA Theatre at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It's a unique Cirque experience, featuring a cinematic storyline that follows the epic tale of Imperial Twins separated by war. The show combines martial arts, acrobatics, and dance against the backdrop of ever-changing set designs and clever projection mapping.
This was my fourth time seeing KÀ, and it still amazes me. The rotating stage alone is mind-blowing—unlike anything else in any other Cirque show. The level of technical precision and creativity is just next-level. What sets KÀ apart is that it’s not just about stunts (though those are thrilling and executed flawlessly); there’s also a compelling storyline that ties everything together, making it feel more like an epic production than just a circus show. I’ve sat in the front row twice now, and the experience is incredibly immersive—you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. From the visuals to the sound to the energy of the performers, it’s a must-see. Highly, highly recommend, even if you’ve already seen other Cirque shows. KÀ is in a league of its own.
Kevin A — Google review
I've seen several Cirque du Soleil shows, and this is certainly no disappointment. Very well organized, beautiful color, vivid and spectacular. We sat in the center section, row F, but there's so much going on in the sides, I would recommend sitting in the back of the front section or the front of the second section. Honestly there's no bad seats, but if you want to be front and center, the back of the center section would be best to take it all in. Bon Voyage!
Jess — Google review
Absolutely amazing! KA by Cirque du Soleil is truly a masterpiece from start to finish. The performance was breathtaking the acrobatics, storytelling, visuals, and music were all on another level. Every scene was beautifully choreographed and kept me on the edge of my seat. The stage design and special effects are unlike anything I’ve ever seen pure magic! If you’re in Vegas, this is a must-see show. Unforgettable experience!
Hazel T — Google review
The show itself was visually stunning and the acrobatics were incredible and definitely the highlight of the performance. The staging and effects were beautifully done and really immersive. The only downside is that the storyline was a bit hard to follow, so at times I wasn’t fully sure what was happening plot-wise. Still, it’s an impressive production overall and worth seeing for the visuals and athletic performances alone.
Katherine H — Google review
We have had the opportunity to have seen 5 Cirque Du Soleil shows (Mystere, Michael Jackson One, Auana, O, and Ka) and this was my 4th favorite of the 5. While it does have some of the acrobatics that have come to be synonymous with Cirque Du Soleil, it was not as impressive as the others. It does have somewhat of a storyline that is difficult to follow. The dialog is non-existent as they speak gibberish that has no meaning. I had high hopes for this show after the previous Cirque Du Soleil shows we’ve seen but it just didn’t deliver. As I’m writing this review my current ranking for these shows would be: 1. Mystere 2. Auana 3. O 4. Ka 5. Michael Jackson One The caveat to this being that we saw Mystere back in 2006 or 2007 so I am unable to speak to the quality of the show now. I do remember that there were much more impressive acrobatics and gymnastics than the other 4 but no real storyline.
M I — Google review
WOW!!! This was my 4th Cirque du Soleil show and I’m absolutely blown away! Honestly, I don’t understand people leaving bad reviews saying there wasn’t enough acrobatics. Sure, maybe there’s less of it than in some other Cirque shows, but that’s not the focus here, and not every show has to be all about risky stunts! Here’s what really stood out to me: - The stage technology is mind-blowing! Real arrows flying across the stage, hitting the floor right next to the main characters; a massive moving platform that changes shape, lighting, and even rotates 360° - pure genius! - The martial arts scenes are incredible. The final battle in the air was Absolutely brilliant - something I would’ve never even imagined. - The music gives you chills. The sound quality is insane, and the speakers are built into every seat so you’re literally inside the music! - The immersion is unreal. You genuinely feel like you’ve stepped into another world. There wasn’t a single dull moment - the 2 hours flew by like 20 minutes. As one of our friends said, “I’ve never tried mushrooms, but I think this is what people experience when they do.” That’s honestly the best way to describe how trippy and captivating some of the scenes are. There were 8 of us, and every single one left amazed. Don’t think twice - grab those tickets! In terms of technology, visuals, and martial arts choreography, Cirque du Soleil has truly outdone themselves with this one!

I’ve been to other Du Solei shows, this is by far the best! Every minute of it was incredible. The immersive experience, the music, the dynamic stage, the story, the performers… everything!… every detail was masterfully executed. I strongly recommend do not miss this show. Despite I paid for centered near the front seats, every seat has great views, even if you buy seats at the back you’ll have a great view.
Dracelina — Google review
Overall extremely entertaining show, cannot think of any negatives given the level of performance for reasonably priced good, central seats. The stage/set is quite a piece of engineering: real time dynamic control of a massive platform that can turn into a frozen rock wall, tilted sand dune, whatever! The retractable pegs made for an interesting effect. The acts and performances I found phenomenal. A lot of variety, logical/coherent with the plot, and level of talent seemed very high. I'm hard pressed to name a favorite act, I thought all were pretty impressive. The score and live music was great. Speakers in seats made for some interesting effects. Loved the costumes and overall aesthetic. The pyrotechnics at the end were a nice touch. Overall I can't really think of many flaws here, give it a visit!

State park
Nature & Parks
Valley of Fire State Park is a breathtaking destination that showcases the stunning beauty of the Southwest desert. Located just about 50 miles from the vibrant Fremont Street Experience, this park spans an impressive 40,000 acres filled with striking red Aztec sandstone formations and ancient petrified wood. As Nevada's first state park, established in 1935, it offers visitors a glimpse into its rich history through fascinating Native American petroglyphs found at Atlatl Rock.
Amazing! My initial thought was who wants to go look at rocks. We went to red rock canyon first and it was great. We came here the next day and it's even better. Much closer to it all here. They also have a military discount if you ask. If we make it back during cool weather we will probably try a few of the hikes. Just stopping at the various parking lots you have amazing views and photos can hardly capture the beauty. Must see in person, you will not regret it.
Randy L — Google review
What a magical place. We did two trails over the span of around 3 1/2 hours: the short but scenic Mouse’s Tank, and the iconic Fire Wave/Seven Wonders Loop. Both provided different experiences, views, and difficulty levels, but I feel like there still lots more to see!! Even just driving through the park, you get incredible and genuinely jaw-dropping views of the rock formations. Absolutely blew my expectations out of the park, and the new visitor center looks super cool too! The current visitor center has some cool displays and a nice little gift shop in the middle. I recommend getting here either very early or towards sunset, as there not a lot of shade and, even in cooler temps, the sun can be brutal. Please check this wonderful place out.
Miguel Á — Google review
Writing a “review” of the Valley of Fire feels a bit like rating the sun. Or giving three stars to gravity because it’s “a bit much sometimes.” The place doesn’t care what I think. It’s been here for 200 million years, unbothered by human opinion, Google reviews, or the existential unraveling of anyone who visits. And yet here I am, typing earnestly into the void about how it made me feel small in the most reassuring way. The Valley of Fire exists on a timescale so immense that our entire lives do not even register as a blink. While we are born, grow up, agonize over career choices, stress about emails, and die — these rocks just… exist. They are steadfast and exist outside our timeline, the changes measured in geological rather than biological time. And somehow that’s comforting. There’s something deeply soothing about knowing the universe isn’t keeping track of our daily panic. Standing among those rust-red cliffs and formations, I felt every melodramatic human emotion: awe, insignificance, reverence, and an odd sense of relief that my to-do list, my one sided feud with my neighbor (true story), my overthinking… none of it matters here. The Valley of Fire is the ultimate reality check wrapped in beauty: a place where the universe pats you on the head and says, “Sweetheart, relax, it’s really not that deep.” So yes, five stars. Would recommend. Bring water, snacks, and a healthy sense of humility
Adrienne W — Google review
Awesome park to visit, this place had a few stops with petroglyphs that were neat to see. The visitor center was cool and the staff were fun and helpful of cool thing to see in the park. Most of the hikes were easy and well marked. Family friendly even for littler kids to go on. Would recommend visiting!

If you’ve never been it’s a must go. Breathtaking views, most are easy hikes from lots to access. Pictures are best way to describe Always bring lots of water, sunblock, and download map. Cellular is spotty and can have your GPS bouncing everywhere.

Beautiful place to explore with short little hikes. What they’ve changed in the last 2 years is requiring photo permits if you’re not in walking or hiking outfits. Also no longer can you park on the road and look at the views. Parking is limited in some popular hike trails. It’s hot during summer and don’t underestimate the heat.
Adventure F — Google review
The hour-drive from Las Vegas was easy, yet once I turned into Valley of Fire the landscape shifted dramatically — the fiery red rock formations stretched in all directions and I felt as though I’d landed on another planet. Although our visit required paying the non-resident fee ($15), the experience was worth every penny. We headed to the White Domes Loop as recommended by the Visitor Center — a 1.25-mile loop that demands proper shoes, but rewards you with a vista unlike any I’ve seen. Even without a hike, the roads alone provided enough to be spellbound. If you’re in Las Vegas and have a few hours to spare, this place is a must-visit.

I've been meaning to visit this state park for years. Very happy to have made the drive up from Vegas. Scenery is dramatic and beautiful. Also I was not expecting to see Bighorn Sheep! I plan to come back when I have more time to hike. Note, many trails are closed in summer.

Nestled just a short 20-minute drive from Henderson, the Clark County Museum is a treasure trove of history and culture waiting to be explored. Spanning an impressive 30 acres, this regional museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of Las Vegas and its surroundings. From early Native American artifacts to displays showcasing the impact of railroads and the evolution of hotels and casinos, there's something for everyone.
What an awesome place! I was prepared to pay the entry fee, but it is free now! I loved seeing the train and all of the houses. It was interesting to see what homes in the 1920's looked like. I will definitely go here again if I have the chance.

I've been wanting to visit for a while now and finally went on a Sunday morning.I was the only person in the indoor part of the museum and really took my time studying the wonderfully crafted exhibits and read a lot of the information at each exhibition.It goes from the very beginning of native culture to almost modern day.The outdoor part was excellent as well and I am very glad I visited.If you are into western history you will love this museum.

Excellent internal staging of the city block of houses moved to the site. From the 19th - 20th century each house represents an era that is literally dressed in its time. From the carton of Lucky Strikes laying casually on a coffee table during WW2 with the radio blasting news of the boys overseas to the 1950s kitchen's stuffed pantry with the biggest name brands of the time, the staff did an over the top job! Pre radio to color tv its all represented on the time capsule of a city block at this museum. A hidden gem!

Nice museum for free entry. Good collection of buildings and a nice place to walk around. Mannequins are a little creepy and unsettling, especially if you’re alone in the houses with them. Lots of potential for future expansion. Hopefully they can get some funding to expand the indoor part and do some upgrades like paving and signage.

We were ready to pay $1 each since we're seniors (55+) but were told it was free!! My husband put the $5 bill he was going to use to pay in the donation box instead. It was a lot of walking and it was hot but we really enjoyed it. We didn't walk all the way to the ghost town part because we were getting tired. (Seniors). But it's not that far to walk for those with younger legs.

Dams
Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a remarkable engineering marvel from the Depression era. It stands as one of America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders and offers tours and scenic views of the Colorado River and Lake Mead. The dam, completed ahead of schedule and under budget in 1936, was built by thousands of men enduring extreme conditions to create the massive 726ft-high structure. The iconic art-deco styled dam redefines the stark landscape and holds historical significance.
Love it here. The greatest engineering accomplishment period. Fun fact. First guy who died on this project had the same name as the last guy to die. They died on the same date - the year as well. The story of how they built this is just absolutely incredible. Need to buy tickets in advance to get down Area 51 like secured access road. Guided with Adventure Child

America is great. What a sight. What an accomplishment. It is always a must see. You can now drive across the dam again. Also can walk across it. Tours are first come first serve. So you get there and get in line and then get assigned a time. The view from the bridge is also spectacular.

This place is really cool. I didn't get the scope and size until I went there. It's huge! There is plenty of free parking.

Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

Mentioned on 
+10 other lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as Hoover Dam Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat spanning the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The four-lane highway bridge stretches 1,500 feet long and stands at an impressive height of 890 feet above the river. It boasts of the world's tallest concrete columns and holds the title for being the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere.
This was our first stop after landing in Las Vegas. It's a walkway bridge with stunning views of Hoover Dam. I was amazed to walk through the bridge as it is built so high on the Hoover dam that one can easily have a breathtaking view of the Dam. When you are standing at the center of the bridge facing towards the Dam then on your right side is Arizona and on the left side is Nevada state. You have to climb some steps from the parking lot to the bridge. When I visited it was so windy that I was getting pushed by the wind. So, before visiting check the weather advisory for the winds. Plenty of parking slots were available when I visited. They also have restrooms at the parking lot.
Amol M — Google review
Don't look down. It would be a big fall. There can be gust of winds. It's a big climb to get to the bridge. Honestly pretty cool bridge. It can be quite hot up there. Bring water because you will need it on the hike.

Amazing viewpoint connecting Nevada and Arizona! The bridge offers a breathtaking overlook of Hoover Dam and the Colorado River below. Short hike from the parking area to the viewpoint with clear signage. Windy up there, so hold onto your hat! Definitely worth the stop.

The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bypass, is located along US Highway 93 at the Arizona/Nevada state line. Its official address is 27953, 28689 Great Basin Highway in Boulder City, Nevada. This bridge spans the Colorado River after water passes by the Hoover Dam power generators and spillways. It was built to divert traffic that used to drive along the top of the Hoover Dam. There is a pedestrian path along the bridge and its wall does a pretty good job blocking the view of the Hoover Dam from vehicles driving the across the bridge. I have not walked across the bridge, but I understand that it provides a great vantage point to view the Hoover Dam. This arch bridge sits 890 feet (270 m) above the Colorado River. Like every bridge, it will flex and sway from traffic driving across the bridge as well as wind passing through The Black Canyon of the Colorado. This sway is intentional as a rigid structure would be damaged by the forces exerted upon it.
Gamera O — Google review
After our Hoover Dam tour, we moved our car to the free outdoor lot (Boulder Dam Bridge Parking) and walked the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. You can visit the bridge before or after the dam, but if you’re joining a tour, it’s best to do the tour first in the morning and save the bridge walk for later. This massive bridge connects Arizona and Nevada, built to ease traffic around the dam. It opened in 2010, is 1,905 ft long (579m), 890 ft high (270m), and is the 2nd tallest bridge in the U.S. and it even won a bridge design award in 2012. It’s named after: • Mike O’Callaghan, Governor of Nevada (1971–1979) • Pat Tillman, an NFL player who left his career to serve in the military and died in action in 2004. You can walk across the bridge to get amazing views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. You might feel the bridge slightly sway( something to keep in mind if you’re afraid of heights). We visited in late March and it was super hot and dry (over 30°C / 90°F), so definitely bring a hat and water. The bridge isn’t long, but with no shade, it feels intense under the sun. If you have a free day in Vegas, this side trip is totally worth it!

The lynchpin of a very important bypass of the Hoover Dam. Quite the engineering marvel. The bird's-eye view of the dam is unparalleled. Several placards on the way briefly describe the process to build the bridge. Popular with visitors.

Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge

Mentioned on 
+10 other lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as Hoover Dam Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat spanning the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The four-lane highway bridge stretches 1,500 feet long and stands at an impressive height of 890 feet above the river. It boasts of the world's tallest concrete columns and holds the title for being the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere.
This was our first stop after landing in Las Vegas. It's a walkway bridge with stunning views of Hoover Dam. I was amazed to walk through the bridge as it is built so high on the Hoover dam that one can easily have a breathtaking view of the Dam. When you are standing at the center of the bridge facing towards the Dam then on your right side is Arizona and on the left side is Nevada state. You have to climb some steps from the parking lot to the bridge. When I visited it was so windy that I was getting pushed by the wind. So, before visiting check the weather advisory for the winds. Plenty of parking slots were available when I visited. They also have restrooms at the parking lot.

Don't look down. It would be a big fall. There can be gust of winds. It's a big climb to get to the bridge. Honestly pretty cool bridge. It can be quite hot up there. Bring water because you will need it on the hike.

Amazing viewpoint connecting Nevada and Arizona! The bridge offers a breathtaking overlook of Hoover Dam and the Colorado River below. Short hike from the parking area to the viewpoint with clear signage. Windy up there, so hold onto your hat! Definitely worth the stop.

The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bypass, is located along US Highway 93 at the Arizona/Nevada state line. Its official address is 27953, 28689 Great Basin Highway in Boulder City, Nevada. This bridge spans the Colorado River after water passes by the Hoover Dam power generators and spillways. It was built to divert traffic that used to drive along the top of the Hoover Dam. There is a pedestrian path along the bridge and its wall does a pretty good job blocking the view of the Hoover Dam from vehicles driving the across the bridge. I have not walked across the bridge, but I understand that it provides a great vantage point to view the Hoover Dam. This arch bridge sits 890 feet (270 m) above the Colorado River. Like every bridge, it will flex and sway from traffic driving across the bridge as well as wind passing through The Black Canyon of the Colorado. This sway is intentional as a rigid structure would be damaged by the forces exerted upon it.
Gamera O — Google review
After our Hoover Dam tour, we moved our car to the free outdoor lot (Boulder Dam Bridge Parking) and walked the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. You can visit the bridge before or after the dam, but if you’re joining a tour, it’s best to do the tour first in the morning and save the bridge walk for later. This massive bridge connects Arizona and Nevada, built to ease traffic around the dam. It opened in 2010, is 1,905 ft long (579m), 890 ft high (270m), and is the 2nd tallest bridge in the U.S. and it even won a bridge design award in 2012. It’s named after: • Mike O’Callaghan, Governor of Nevada (1971–1979) • Pat Tillman, an NFL player who left his career to serve in the military and died in action in 2004. You can walk across the bridge to get amazing views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. You might feel the bridge slightly sway( something to keep in mind if you’re afraid of heights). We visited in late March and it was super hot and dry (over 30°C / 90°F), so definitely bring a hat and water. The bridge isn’t long, but with no shade, it feels intense under the sun. If you have a free day in Vegas, this side trip is totally worth it!

As you embark on a guided journey, you'll traverse intriguing tunnels filled with antique mining equipment while uncovering tales of miners who once toiled here.
We had a great time on their tour! Our tour guide was great, and the mine is pretty amazing. We were staying on the Strip in Vegas and wanted to get away to do this tour (based on a friend's recommendation). Well worth the drive!

Fantastic experience. Great place to walk around and see the beautiful buildings and to take a mine tour. It's so amazing how you can see the vains in the rocks for mining. Very informative tour. MUST open the freezer in the gift shop. Love the new chappel.

While visiting Vegas for the weekend My boyfriend and I had so much fun with this establishment. First we did the ATV riding. Patty was our tour guide and she was absolutely Amazing ! We then did the mine tour and that was pretty cool too. Bruce was our tour guide for that cool activity and he was amazing as well. We actually got to meet the owners and everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. If Im not mistaking we paid a total of 375 for the whole experience and Id definitely come back to do the whole thing over again. After our tour they recommended we go a few miles down the road to visit a popular lake and we loved that as well. Thanks for making Vegas an amazing experience for Us !

It's a fin place with tons of interesting artifacts. It was over 110 degrees the day we were there so I didn't get to explore all the things I wanted to see outside. On a cooler day I would've stayed much longer. Take water with you to drink. Mine was cool. Both asthetically and literally. It's just above the Colorado River and the back side of Lake Mead Recreation Area

What an incredible experience. Jensen was our tour guide and we have to say he was brilliant. Enthusiastic and interested in telling us about the history of the mine as well as the ATV tour. Not massively into leaving reviews but Jensen made it impossible for me not leave a review. Being able to go into a mine was also incredible. Definitely worth going on this tour if your in vegas.

Me and my wife toured the mine today. Wow our guide was great for only being a tour guide for two days. Wade did a great job. He kept reminding me to not bump my head i am not that tall but thank you. It was a fun time and must see. Well worth the trip off the strip.

Fun trip with the kids! The tour was both informative and interesting for my 8-13 year old kids. We were lucky to be in a smaller group, so my kids got a lot of attention. We explored all the fun things at the museum like place, the family that lives there was so fun and accommodating. We then took a 5 min drive to the river. There, we did a fun hike to see the gorgeous landscape and a picnic by the river. It was beautiful!

Nelson Ghost Town

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Ghost Towns
Nelson Ghost Town is an abandoned gold mine that offers tours and features restored buildings with retro signs, photos, and relics. It has become a popular spot for Vegas destination weddings due to its unique and picturesque backdrop. The town showcases crashed airplanes, custom automobiles, mining equipment, skulls, and even some unusual surprises in the freezer. Visitors can explore the area for a small fee and may even catch a glimpse of the guest rooms.
I don't know where to start, from the hospitality to the amazing town, then the mine itself. Make sure you have at least a few hours to stop in explore take photos, then you have to do the mine tour! There's so many cool and antique things to see it's crazy. I've never seen such a collection in one place. From inside the store where you have to stop and look in every direction, even the ceiling. The town itself has so many cool buildings and vehicles. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Take lots of water it's so hot. You definitely need to go here whether you're a photographer, a mine enthusiast or just like old and unique things. There's literally something here everyone will love. Im already looking forward to planning a return trip. GO ITS SO WORTH IT

Absolutely loved visiting Nelson Ghost Town! It’s such a unique and fascinating place with so much history and character. Walking around felt like stepping back in time—old buildings, vintage cars, and tons of interesting antiques and photo spots everywhere. The staff was super friendly and shared great stories about the town’s past. It’s a photographer’s dream and a fun little adventure just outside Las Vegas. Highly recommend stopping by if you love hidden gems, quirky spots, and a glimpse of the Old West!
Vladyslava H — Google review
Nelson is a must see, especially for photographers. There are some unwritten rules. Please be sure to stop in and see the owners first, If its just to give them a tip, or pay for a day of photo shoots, it's the right thing to do. The owners a friendly amazing people who have done a lot to maintain the town and its artifacts. Take a tour of the mine when they offer it. It is worth every minute, and it is cooler underground.

Nelson Ghost Town is pure magic! ✨ Stepping in here feels like traveling back in time – rusted cars, abandoned buildings, and the haunting beauty of the Nevada desert. 🌵🏚️ Every corner screams adventure and makes you reach for your camera instantly. The Techatticup Mine tour? Mind-blowing! ⛏️ You can almost hear the echoes of miners from the 1800s – history comes alive here. Whether you’re chasing epic photos, history vibes, or just a wild, off-the-beaten-path adventure, Nelson Ghost Town delivers BIG TIME. Don’t just visit – experience it! 💛

Lake Mohave

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Lake Mohave is a picturesque reservoir located on the Colorado River that offers a variety of recreational activities such as swimming, skiing, scuba diving, boating and fishing. It's known to be one of the hottest places in the United States so visitors are advised to bring plenty of sunblock. Despite this, it's a great spot for picnics and taking a refreshing dip in the river. Many have enjoyed their time here including families who come during spring break.
Lake Mohave is the ultimate summer paradise in the middle of the desolate American southwest! This reservoir, almost 70 miles long, is accessible via multiple public marinas and is an amazing place to boat, jet ski, kayak, swim, and explore the waters! When we visited, we rented a boat and jet ski out of Katherine’s Landing on the Arizona side, and we boated all around all day - it was so much fun! It was the peak of summer and about 120 degrees - it gets HOT here, so be sure to bring plenty of water and use sunscreen!! On hot summer days you can expect this lake to be packed with boaters and jet skiers everywhere. You have to be observant when driving because some jet skiers like to get really close to boats and accidents can happen. This is why we sought out a quiet part of the lake away from everyone else where we could enjoy it in all its glory! Not too far from Katherine’s Landing, on the western side of the side, we found some awesome coves that had no people. If you search “Roman Cove” on Google Maps Satellite view, and look at the small cove directly south of it, that’s the one we went to and were there for over 2 hours with no signs of any other people. I am sure there could be better spots on the lake, but this was a great location! No waves, quiet, and a perfect place to bring your family! The water is extremely warm in the summer months, but still quite refreshing when it’s well over 100 degrees. Again, remember, bring water and sunscreen (and food so you don’t have to go back to a marina to eat). I highly recommend coming to the lake if you’re in the area because nothing compares to it! Go to a place like Katherine’s Landing, rent a boat or jet ski, and have fun!!

I haven’t been there yet, but my son has and he said that’s the place to go not the river. The river is running dirty and the current is fast and strong. Lake Mojave is quite serene has a nice swimming beach and has rentals.

Always a fun place to get some sun, relax with a few beers and do some swimming or boating. It was a perfect combo of 100° heat, a cool breeze and really cold water where it felt great while being in the water but nice on the beach as well. I come out here usually twice a year and enjoy it everytime.
J R — Google review
I go to Lake Mohave quite often. Most of the time to fish. It's a great place to take the family and spend the day cruising around in the boat, jet skiing or just lounging in one of the many nice coves or beaches. The water is colder than the lake but nice and clean and crystal clear.
Jorge T — Google review
A great place to be in the desert! So close to Laughlin. The shallow & natural temperature water is the best part for family with kids like mine. Only few minutes drive from main riverside hotels. The entrance fee is a cool offer.. for a single car $20 for 7 day pass & $44 for whole year! Also this place has several shores/beach some are specify for boats only. Best place to camp, have picnics, swim, dive, ride boats & water jet, but over all get lost from streets and have fun with your love ones. But be careful! Summer could be real hot!
Gabriel ( — Google review
We went kayaking on the river there and it was absolutely spectacular. The views were amazing, the history was really cool to learn about. Our tour guid was amazing and we will definitely be going back. Emerald Cave was really cool. The water was so clear and clean. The water was freezing but that was to be expected since it is snow melt. We had lunch on the side of the rocks and it was perfect. Kayaking was a little difficult but we managed and had a great time! I wouldn’t take kids kayaking unless they are experienced. We saw about 3 kids flip and the water is freezing.

This is such a beautiful lake! I keep my boat nearby and go there often with friends and family. The water temperature is very comfortable for swimming right now and the air temperature is around 115° during the day. The trick is to wear a cotton t-shirt and go in the water often with the shirt on and use it as a cooling device

Grand Canyon Western Ranch

Ranch
Sights & Landmarks
Grand Canyon Western Ranch offers an Old West-style experience with rustic cabins, a charming eatery/bar, a rodeo arena, and nightly campfires. The staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a wonderful start-to-finish experience. Guests can enjoy sunset horseback riding and join the nightly campfire gatherings. The ranch provides a unique opportunity to see the Grand Canyon while offering downtime for those seeking solitude. Visitors can savor delicious meals at the restaurant and enjoy live singing by Arizona Casey around the fireplace.
This place is a rustic experience. I stayed in the smith cabin that sleeps 5. There’s no TV. Very little cell coverage and if there was wifi I didn’t ask for it. I loved being disconnected for the night I was there. I had the opportunity to do the wagon ride at sunset to see the bison. What a great experience. Cowboy Dave sang to us a little then told us the history of the bison on the planes during westward expansion - my Roman Empire. The staff were all super friendly. The food was great. And the campfire was so much fun even in the August heat. Already planning another stay next time I’m in Vegas. Oh and their spring water is top notch. Bring a bottle to fill up.

My son and I had a great time. The people that work there are absolutely amazing. Food un the restaurant was great. Cabins were nice, beds very comfortable. If you go on a week that Casey is working, he is truly the heart of the ranch. Cowboy John was great taking us horseback riding. Very nice gentleman. If you really want to get away from it all, this is the place to go.

So much fun. This place is by no means luxurious, and you would be lucky to get Wifi but what a wonderful place to be, where the air is clean and the sky dark with the stars being your only source of light. The lodgings are simple and rustic, but comfortable, and you will feel transported into a bygone time. All of the people working here are wonderful and double up with many of their roles being housekeeper/bartender/cowboy/cook. The menu was very minimal but they tried their best to accommodate everyone, and everything they put out was absolutely delicious, kind of like being at a friend’s house. The most memorable moment was sitting at the fire with s’mores and listening to the resident cowboy regale us with his campfire stories and songs. It felt like we were in a movie.
Annie S — Google review
Great home setting with awesome comfort food. We really enjoyed ourselves at this western ranch including the family seating. And the chopped steak buried in onions and gravy hit the spot! And the best attraction of all was Cowboy Casey. A true entertainer with a heart for hospitality that shows in all he does, says and sings. He moved from entertaining the restaurant and then hosted a campfire sing-along with s’mores provided! The one word I walk away with for Cowboy Casey is genuine. Truly an old soul that helps everything slow down and relax. Way to go Grand Canyon Western Ranch!

We ate supper here on 9/22/25. The food was delicious and we're so glad we went. The gentleman who played his guitar and sang was a wonderful addition. He invited us to the campfire after. We met the friendliest family that worked on a ranch in the area and they sat with us. I wish we had gotten their names and a picture. They told us what it is like living there including the hot weather. We told them what it's like living in Maine and the cold, snowy winters. Although we didn't stay there (we already had reservations elsewhere) it was the perfect ending to a vacation day!

It is a great place! Very nice Ranch and people! You can do beautiful sunset horse rides! They have an awesome Ranch house and and they can tell a lot about the history of their Ranch. Definitely one of the greatest highlights of our roadtrip thru the USA.

This scenic area features interpretive signs that enhance your understanding of the local ecosystem, picnic tables perfect for a leisurely lunch, and access to an extensive network of trails. Spanning 10.
This is a nice walking path. Wide enough paths for all people. Riding bikes, walkers, runners, and wheelchair accessible. From the start to the end to the park is roughly 4 miles. There is no access to the damn. But still you can take some beautiful pics of it. Tables and park benches are also along the path. Places to rest and have a quick snack or even pack food for a lunch.

Nice paved and dirt trail going along the Colorado river. There’s information placards and some old remnants of structures. You can also go across the top of the dam and the roads closed to vehicles. That’s where the AZ/NV state line is. You can do dirty stuff in two states. Not as fun as 4 corners, but no crowds watching.

You can't spend ALL your time at the casino. Take the Riverwalk north, cross the main road taking your life in your hands, and you'll have the best viewpoint at the new pedestrian bridge.

Really awesome trail! Did the whole thing in a loop this morning. I was disappointed to discover a homeless encampment near the picnic shelters on the river on the west side as I was exploring with my dog. Not exactly ideal near kids playground and picnic shelters. The trail through the city side and over the bridge isn't very fun, if I were to do it again I might just do it in reverse back instead of going through the traffic side.
Justin E — Google review
This was a great walk About a 2 mile walk to the park directly across from the dam. Flat paved path asking the river as well as a dirt/gravel path for horses. Restrooms at both ends and water fountains and covered shade areas every mile or less. People fishing, walking, swimming, and enjoying the views.

Don Laughlin was an avid car collector and anyone who appreciates classic cars will enjoy visiting this place. There are plenty of classics from the 50’s and 60’s and rides that go as far back as the early 1900’s. Some of the vehicles have considerable history as mentioned on the plaques. Everything in here was well organized and cared for. It was a nice, quiet area to get away from the flashing lights and noise of the casinos.

Just spent 4 nights at GN. We got upgraded from a court yard view to a river view which was great. This room had laminate flooring and not nasty old carpet. The bathroom had a nice walk in shower with glass doors. Only concern there was that a grab bar should be installed. Check in was easy and the staff is very friendly throughout the casino. There was lots of cleaning going on, even the entryway palms were getting pruned back. Only disappointment was that the river view bar was closed for remodel and will be closed for a few months. This is our Laughlin go to place.
Donna R — Google review
The room was dated back to the 80's. The only thing good about the room is your dogs can stay there for a fee of ninety dollars 4 -2 dogs. You can't take your dogs anywhere in the casino. Our bed had a big dip in it from people sleeping on the mattress. The air conditioner stopped working. We ordered breakfast and the hash brown potatoes were soggy and not cooked enough and the eggs were over easy, but the whites were not cooked. This was at the claim jumper cafe. The only thing cool about the casino was the giant gold nugget. The red felt under the nugget needs to be updated with a nice blue felt. The casino smelt like cigarette smoke even in the room. When I made my reservation, the reservationists could have been better about explaining to me the difference in the pet rooms about the patios. I would have preferred a room with a patio cuz you can open the door and go outside with your pets. Reservationist needs to upsell.

I’d advise that you skip Golden Nugget in Laughlin. It’s old and nasty, slowly getting updated, but it fails on every point. The front desk lied to me saying they didn’t know if the room we were getting had been renovated; it hadn’t and she of course knew that. The elevator to the room is as disgusting as any flop house that rents rooms by the hour; it smelled of mold and asbestos. It still has carpet from the 60s; you can feel that it’s damp from the mildew and scuz. The rooms are not great but the bed was nice. The AC didn’t work well and it made a crazy noise. There wasn’t a single thing we could plug a phone into; the alarm clock had the USB connection but the clock actually didn’t work all. They seriously had a non working alarm clock in the room. The USB ports on the wall sconces were not hooked up to electricity of something because they didn’t work either. The Golden Nugget failed on every single point. The whole hotel stinks. The Casino smells like broken dreams, spilt beer and cigarettes. The Claim Jumper restaurant was nasty. For dinner I made the mistake of getting a French dip; (inviting tragedy I know) no taste other than salt. I actually don’t know why I try to order that anywhere; it’s typically pretty bad. And then like a dope I went back down there for breakfast, a new crew I figured “who can screw up breakfast?” Well… fool me twice shame on me so I’ll own that. Nothing good here, so I say- Skip the Nugget

This property is very dated. I believe they had some newly remodeled rooms but we were not in one. The bed was comfortable and the shower had hot water but it was really worn. Also smokey, even in the restaurants which wasn’t ideal. Would love to see Laughlin come back to good old days. Hopefully the remodeling will help.

When we arrived, everything seemed fine — until we went down to the steakhouse for dinner. It was closed for the rest of the day due to a main water leak. Unfortunately, every restaurant on site was closed as well, meaning we had to leave the property to find food right after checking in. A few hours later, we came back ready for a hot shower and some rest… but there was still no hot water. Calling the front desk took several tries before someone finally answered. I was told the water issue “wasn’t their fault,” and when I asked to check out for a refund, I was informed that the manager — the only one authorized to process refunds — had already gone home for the night. We paid extra for a river view room, yet there was no river view at all (see attached photo). By morning, the situation somehow got worse. We woke up to the smell of sewage and still had no working toilets. As we packed up to leave, one of us grabbed a donut we’d saved for breakfast — only to find it covered in ants. Photo attached. We reported everything upon checkout, received a quick “sorry,” and were still charged in full. At this point, we were just relieved to leave. Golden Nugget Laughlin may have its charm for others, but for us, this stay was anything but golden.

I called and booked directly from the hotel because I wanted to secure a River view room. So I paid full price. (No view of the River) From the time of are arrival we had issues. After check in we explored the hotel decided to go to Salt Grass Steak house. It was closed due to a water issue. So after eating a horrible meal off site. We come back to the room to shower and brush teeth. And no water. I had to use my own hotspot. The guest WiFi did not work and was very unsecured. Waking up early still no water. The Krispy Cream donuts I brought the day before had been attacked by ants over night and I did not know that after eating some of them. We properly left the room and I explained all my issues and concerns upon checkout and I was told have a good day there is nothing I can do. Here’s your deposit back! I had less amenities here than at my house. I will never stay here again.

After this weekend, The Golden Nugget Laughlin will always be our #1 choice when booking. Their employees are so amazing!!! I had left my wallet and was unable to check in, but Dawn came to our rescue and handled it for us. After a few hours of dealing with our 3rd party booking site, Dawn had us all checked in. I am so grateful for all her hard work, patience and help. Also, Jacob the hotels driver was the coolest guy ever. He saw us struggling with Uber and offered to give us a ride. Not only that, he came back to pick us up from our evening. Such a great guy...thanks Dawn and Jacob for making our stay with the GN so great and memorable. We look forward to coming back soon!!!

Sadly, the Golden Nugget has lost us. We changed rooms due to the first room having plumbing issues, a broken a/c, and a few small things not worth mentioning. While the second room had awesome a/c, it did still have plumbing issues and just generally downtrodden. We met someone in the hallway who had mold in their first room, plumbing issues and a few other things in their second room. Both of us agreed we won't be coming back. The whole place has obvious signs of neglect, disrepair, and the appearance of lack of respect for a once classic place to be. On the upside, the gals at the desk were awesome! Unfortunately, we will not longer come back to the Nugget and will find better accommodations.

Harrah's Laughlin Hotel & Casino is a vibrant property offering entertainment, a casino, and eight dining options, along with a river beach for relaxation. The hotel is pet-friendly, providing accommodations for four-legged friends in specific rooms and offering specialized pet packages. Located in southern Nevada, the resort features traditional-style rooms with amenities such as flat-screen TVs and blackout curtains. While some visitors suggest updates are needed, the hotel is renowned for its luxury offerings and stunning views of the Colorado River.
This review is for my first Caesars rewards charter to Laughlin from Seattle. I booked a central king room and was a little nervous after reading the reviews, but all went above and beyond my expectations. Firstly, they have the charter service extremely dialed in for convenience. I was extremely impressed. I checked a bag for free in Seattle, and never touched it again until I found it waiting for me in my room when I was done gambling that evening. The shuttle driver was informative and pleasant. When the bus arrived, we got off and there was a gentleman handing out bottles of water and name-labeled envelopes with the map grounds, a players card, and a key to the room in which we were already checked in. No check-in lines? Count me in for that! I triple read the paperwork before getting in the elevator, because I couldn’t believe it was that streamlined. I was expecting a non-river room, but was surprised to find a gorgeous view of the landscape and river awaiting me. I gave it a quick look over after reading reviews to see if it had any issues. It’s true that there were only 2 small pillows on the king sized bed, but for me that was a non issue. I did find some hairs in the tub, a left behind toothbrush, and some floor crumbs. I do think they could definitely tighten up their cleaning game, as it is mentioned repetitively, and even as clean as my room was, some things had been missed. The outer window to the river was overdue a wash as well. I feel as though just a little more attention to detail would make a huge difference in reviews. I might have gotten lucky or had set my expectations low enough that I was truthfully ecstatic. Aside from those small missteps, the bed was comfortable and clean, the water pressure was good, no drainage or AC issues as others have experienced. In the central tower river-view room I had a coffee maker, refrigerator, hair dryer, USB ports on the lamps, bath gel, a shampoo conditioner combo, a decent amount of towels. I actually never called housekeeping to restock anything during my 4 day stay. The ice machine worked and so did the vending machine. I was there over a weekend and didn’t have problems with the elevators in the Central tower. I was slightly disappointed to find that Harrah’s doesn’t have many older slots. I’m a bit of a nostalgic player and don’t gravitate toward the newer machines much. Many people would feel the opposite. Drink service was flowing nicely, but then again, I tip $2-3 per drink. I noticed plenty of $10 tables on a Friday night, which was a pleasant surprise. I had no luck on the slots the entire time, but such is gambling more often than not. They are a bit away from other casinos, but the free shuttle to the Trop was nice. I never utilized the pools, beach, or water taxis. Harrah’s doesn’t have a big selection of restaurants, but I went casual and had a sub at Pin Up, Birria Tacos from Guy’s (room service which came quickly and efficiently), and breakfast at the Beach Cafe. I thought the food was fairly priced. If I hadn’t been alone, I would have given the steakhouse a shot. I had to work some of the trip, so being allowed WiFi for 2 devices for free, I chose my laptop and tablet. My phone was slow at times without WiFi. Overall, I was super happy and actually booked another trip before I had even left. I’m going to be visiting again in 4 days and I hope I have a similar experience. I was 10th floor Central tower, King river-view and I have my fingers crossed I’ll be seeing that view again. It’s possible coming from a free charter trip my expectations and experience could be different than others, but this was a solid 4-5 stars for me. See you in a few days, Harrah’s!!

I gave it a 3 because of the employees that were helpful and went beyond. The check in started our stay and it was not good. We have a service animal and we always inform the desk of that. I had reserved a No Tower room because it was newly renovated. My husband checked in while I allowed my dog to potty. Side note-he is an alert type service dog and had injured his leg, requiring him to very limited walking per vet. He was in a stroller which would not have limited his ability to alert. When we got ro our room I realized this waa not the room I had reserved. It was a pet room overlooking a roof. I called and explained the situation and was given many excuses. After finally being changed we were moved to the correct room. BTW we had paid extra for a newly renovated room because of the reviews and they were spot on. All of Laughlin had a tired look. Harrahs has a private beach and although open, the pajamas were unavailable, you couldn't bring your own umbrellas and so many restrictions, geared to increase income for Harrahs that it wasn't worth going. It was early September and close 100 so, why the beach was basically unusable, I dont know. We used ro visit Laughlin regularly, loved Harrahs but will never go again.

This was our first Ceasers trip. It was our first time to Laughlin. First off I requested a nonsmoking room they put us in one and I went and they put us in a non smoking room. The room was very hot we had to turn the air down to 60 to even get it comfortable. Our bed sheets had holes in them. The shower was very dingy. The shower floor was so slick you had to be very careful or you would fall. Asked for housekeeping to clean our room and change our sheets and get trash and I asked three times and still never showed up. The lady that was checking out that day was very rude and rolled her eyes at us like we were a burden to check out. They have the option of checking out on your tv but it was not working. They have kisok not working to check out! Because the Tv was not working nor the kiosk to check out wasn’t working you felt the need to be rude and role your eyes at all of us and then just through our keys on the counter. There was no thank you, no saying thanks for staying with us we hope to see you again just downright terrible customer service. That last thing that really put the icing on the cake was we were told that our luggage would be picked up from our room at 2:00 and it would be at the airport when we got their to collect. Well ours did not show up. The man I politely asked about our luggage he told me to have a seat and chill! Very rude. Finally got our luggage after we called and raised cane because they weren’t here finally got there and we were the last ones to check in and just made it to our plain. We do not have a good experience to share! If we come back to Laughlin we will be staying somewhere else that’s for sure.

We had great weekend. The staff was awesome. I would recommend new beds I've been in property management over 15 years. I have to say housekeeping need to be trained a little better. Had to ask for tp, the first night. Then on Saturday when cleaned, left rubber on bathroom floor No water or coffee left. The bathroom floor is very slippery.

The hotel is old and dirty. There was a smell of cigarettes in the casino. I bought air freshener for the room. I only stayed one night. The beds were comfortable also. And The staff was AMAZING 😍 They are so eager to help. The staff made the whole trip absolutely comfortable. This place would be wonderful if it was updated.
Connie C — Google review
My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day weekend with some family, it was not worth the price.The room was lack luster and very small. I completely agree with most reviews about the staff being rude. One bartender at the adult pool was especially rude and had the worst attitude to the point where we just left the pool. It was nice having the private beach for sure. The casino floor was big with a lot of slots, cocktail servers were nice but we will not stay here again when we come back.
Jessica G — Google review
The Rooms are old and run down. The beds are lumpy and hard. The pillows are flat and stiff. The hallways smell like Marijuana. The bartenders are rude. There areno good places to eat. The whole property is run down and needs a deep clean and fresh paint. And lastly the tables are minimum $10 always they close most of them early during the week and the machines don't pay out very well. The shuttle between Tropicana and Harrahs only runs every hour. It could easily run every 30 minutes. The water taxi is fun. The river and mountains are beautiful.
Kittykat — Google review
This resort is not conveniently located to anything else. I took the city bus to get around. You have to climb/ descend 135 stairs to get to the street level to catch the bus. The casino is always smokey even in the non- smoking section. Rooms are starting to show age and need updates in the bathroom.

Awesome drive. Beautiful scenery. Abandoned mines and old wrecked cars can be seen off the the side of the road. "Sitgreaves Pass is a historic, narrow, and winding road on Route 66 in Arizona's Black Mountains, known for its steep grades and scenic views. Named after Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves, the pass has an elevation of about 3,550 feet and is considered one of the most challenging sections of the old highway, with steep switchbacks and sharp drop-offs. The route is often traveled by locals and tourists alike, and it is famous for the burros that roam near the town of Oatman."

I purchased the Cherry Butter in early Nov 2023 and it is so very very good. If I had realized just how good the quality of the butters were I would have purchased more than two. Perhaps I will have to order them now.

American restaurant
Step into the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar, a historic Old West venue that has been transformed into an ice cream shop and American eatery. This establishment is located in a building with a rich history, rumored to be haunted, and was originally built in 1902 as the Durlin Hotel. After being rebuilt following a fire in 1924, it was renamed the Oatman Hotel in the 1960s.
Very cool establishment. Found a $1 from 1982. Food was really good. Little tough to find a table because my daughter and I didn’t want to occupy a four person or more table as they were crowded. We scored a two person table in the bar area. For as busy as it was, service was really quick. Definitely will go back. Food was really good also. Very juicy burger and burro ears were a good side.

We rode up to Oatman on motorcycles from Phoenix. We stopped in at the Oatman Hotel Restaurant and tried a couple of different breakfast meals. The burritos were flavorful and filling, packed with great taste and generous portions. I had the toast, bacon and potatoes, which were cooked just right – crispy bacon and well-seasoned potatoes that hit the spot. The atmosphere of the historic hotel adds so much character and makes the dining experience even better. Friendly service and hearty food make this a must-stop when in Oatman. Make sure you leave a dollar on the wall as it's a tradition you can't miss. FYI I did not stay at hotel so I cannot review. -

What a fun and unforgettable stop! The Oatman Hotel & Restaurant is a place you’ll never want to forget. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is good, and the prices are very reasonable. But what really makes this place special is the ambience — it’s pure Old West charm from the moment you step inside. Between the historic walls, the dollar bills covering everything, and the lively cowboy atmosphere, it’s an experience you just have to see for yourself. Come hungry, come curious, and come get your cowboy on!

My friend and I visited midday on Thursday, 10/16/25, and it was busy. We ordered burgers with chips which were very good. The table next to us highly recommended the carrot cake and fudge saying they were freshly made on location. My friend had the carrot cake and I had the fudge. They were also very scrumptious. The place was very unique with defaced one dollar bills everywhere. Neat place to see!

We loved visiting the town of Oatman and it was at the top of my must-see towns, however the Oatman Hotel wasn't what I expected at all. The sign out front is rotting! Inside, the cheap Halloween decorations looked out of place. We decided to not eat there because there were flys everywhere. May I suggest fly strips? We had an ice cream cone instead and got to listen to dirty rap music coming from the open door of the kitchen while we tried to enjoy our ice cream. The profanity in the music was horrible! It ruined the experience of the hotel for us. The girl at the ice cream counter was nice, though I feel sorry that she has to be subjected to such trashy music in her workplace. What could be a beautiful nostalgic hotel is a hole in the wall and was a total disappointment. It could be so much better with a little ingenuity and elbow grease.

It's an amazing place to visit and hang out. We bellied up to the bar, and to my delight, Carrie, a sweetheart of a bartender and a total doll took care of us. Carrie helped guide us through our food order and drinks. The Wild Buffalo Burger with a side of Burro Ears is delicious! It's a great place for tasty food with a beautiful bartender to make you feel special. Highly recommend! Stop in, look around this amazing place, and definitely eat. Maybe you’ll get lucky and Carrie is working.

The museum was a really nice stop in Kingman, AZ to understand the origin and decline of Route 66. It only cost $10 per person and kids 12 and under are free. The video is lengthy and slightly dated but provides a wealth of information for each AZ town on Route 66. The electric car portion was a nice addition.

This little museum is much more than meets the eye. Its a souvenir shop, an information center for tourism across the region, a historical museum, a science and tech museum - electric vehicles from the turn of the century until now (including several record setters). Tickets for this attraction also get you into the Mojave County museum across the street and a historical building tour - great value. It was amazing looking at first hand accounts of living out here in the Wild West, especially some of the folks that weren't quite ready for everything. You really felt for them! This was a great expereince - highly recommend!

Desert Diamond Distillery, the oldest craft distillery in Arizona, was established by the Patt family in 2010. Originally planning to open a brewery or winery, they shifted their focus to spirits after attending a distillery conference. The distillery offers five premium liquors, including award-winning rums. Located near Kingman Airport off Highway 66, it's one of the few open-to-the-public distilleries in Arizona.
They are part of the Harvest Host RV club. Big paved lot out front, gravel in back, lots of room. Nice little craft distillery, their agave rum is a nice sipper.
Charlie W — Google review
I stopped as I was heading out of town which happened to be just after 11:00am on a Monday. I'm so glad I stopped. Not only was I able to taste some great rums and a unique vodka, I had a great time learning interesting fun facts from their tasting specialist. I spent more time there then anticipated but that just means that it was better than I expected it would be which is a good thing. If I didn't have places to be I would have done a 2nd tasting to sample some of their reserve rums that are said to rival a good whiskey. So, plan a visit. There is a cost for the tasting but I thought it was worth it because of the variety. Plus you get a souvenir shot glass.

if you're ever in the mood for some good spirits and a chill vibe, you gotta check out Desert Diamond Distillery. This place is super welcoming right from the get-go. It's got that laid-back, friendly atmosphere where you can just relax and enjoy yourself. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon while staying in Kingman for work. We wanted to checkout some of the local places. The service here is fantastic. Everyone working there is helpful and genuinely friendly, making you feel right at home whether you're there for a tasting or just to grab a bottle. It's not one of those stuffy places; it's just a really comfortable spot to hang out and learn about their spirits. Definitely a great stop if you're in the area!

Unbelievable! This place truly exceeded our expectations. Don't be put off by the location at the airport. It is worth the drive out. We are staying on the property as Harvest Host members and enjoyed an amazing lunch in one of the historic train cars. The retail store and bar are upscale and filled with delightful gift items and products. Spent a little time chatting with the owner and found out they have been in this location since 2009 and are the oldest distillery still in business in AZ. A true must see when you are in the Kingman area!

Our Friday afternoon stop was outstanding. As Harvesthost members, we were allowed to stay on distillery grounds for free and park our 36 foot RV and the Jeep in their parking lot. We took advantage of their hospitality and made a reservation to eat the delicious sandwiches in the old train car. Later in the afternoon we sampled their outstanding Rum flights while the owner John gave us a detailed description of his creations. Overall a super nice experience, plenty of room to accommodate our rig, grounds and facility are clean, people are welcoming and the spirits are wonderful ! Thank you for your hospitality Desert Diamond Distillery.

An amazing experience in a small batch distillery who does things with quality in mind. Staff are awesome, grilled cheese panani on the dining car from 1918 was fun and tasty. The spirits were impressive: Agave Rum, Moonshine, and their 7 year whiskey were impressive also. Give them a shot! They are also a Harvest Host, look that up if you have an RV!

While driving along Route 66 you can find real gems like Diamond Distillery in Kingman. I really recommend stopping there – they have award-winning rums and also a very good corn whisky. The best thing is that you can try everything in a tasting menu and then walk out with the bottle you liked the most. Totally worth it!

We had so much fun! We did the 1-day rafting tour and it was excellent. The guides were personable and knowledgeable. They had coolers full of cold drinks and waters. For lunch we were served simple, yet tasty sandwiches and chips. I highly recommend doing this if you would like to see the Grand Canyon and cool off at the same time. The water was cool and refreshing in the hot summer heat. There were multiple stops to let us swim and take pictures. We had an amazing time!!

This was a long time goal to raft the Colorado. Not a big WW guy, but love it. Couldn't do the 2 day overnight for multiple reasons. Booking was easy online, asking questions before hand were impossible through the call center. Call the Wualipia Resort front desk directly and have them transfer. Now to the trip. The bus rides are brutal, but that's just part of it. Driver did the best he could and pointed out historical places. The river was running normal about a ft low. The rapids were to great, maybe a little less than class for the water level. i had never power whitewater'd. It was different, but I kind of liked it. You do cover 58.5 miles and half is a slow float. The scenery was as expected, absolutely amazing. We saw a number of birds and longhorns. I loved the hike, climb to the waterfall. If you are physically able DO THIS! All this would have been worth the price. I can't speak for the other 2 boats (they all seemed happy), our guide Kyle was great. Who knew every curve, sandbar and every rapid and really dug into them, ALL of them. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the canyon and the geological key points. Kyle knew the Wualipai. During the trip he told us he was Apache, brother tribe from other side of the Grand Canyon. Told us he did not grow up a River Runner and only started about 2 years ago. I would not have believe it had he not told us. Kyle made the trip so much better than it already was. Thanks to all the support and staff it took to give us a great day.

We had an amazing, breathtaking , scratch off the bucket list trip. Our guide Brian was so cool and made sure we had a blast. The river was soooo much fun we ill be going again next year. It was safe for kids of all ages even non swimmers and swimmers alike. Everyone from the tribe is so nice and this is definitely a trip worth every single penny. Thanks Brian for making sure my kids and family were safe and had a blast...Def lifelong memories. When we come back we only want Brian driving our raft.

We did the 2 day overnight trip and it was incredible, easily the highlight of our southwest trip. The guides are very knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun learning about the people, plants and animals that live around the canyon and history of the canyon. We stopped at some breathtaking spots for short hikes and had the opportunity to swim through rapids at one point. The provided food was great too, better than expected for an overnight camping trip, fresh sandwiches and fruit for lunches and dinner we had grilled steak and potatoes. I would definitely come back again it's quite the experience!

Last weekend my friend and I were on a two-day rafting trip with Hualapai River Runners. The experience exceeded all expectations, mostly because of the amazing staff: Cody, Scott, Laura and McCrary (sp?) were STELLAR. Cody was the guide for our raft. His confidence and experience made me feel safe and prepared for the river. They also set up a great camp, cooked a delicious dinner AND a delicious breakfast. The trip itself was perfect: a section of time with intermittent rapids, another section of time with calm waters and the second day with our rafts attached to the motorized boat so we could relax. The views were breathtaking the entire time!! Our camp site was so comfortable and Hualapai River Runners provided tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads. As we were rafting, Cody shared information about history, geology and fun facts. The other people in our group were friendly and interesting. I think our evening conversations at camp were some of my most favorite moments. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience

I booked this rafting trip for a July vacation at Grand Canyon National Park. It was, in many ways, the highlight of the trip. It started with a shuttle over to the rafting site, from the hotel in town. The drive is long, but you get to see some really cool valley cliffs along the way. We divided up into two rafts for the trip and there was a third raft that was just support and photography. You can get access to a whole trip's worth of photos from the rafting, for a reasonable fee. Pretty early on it's amazing to be surrounded by the huge cliff walls along the river. We got in some rapids pretty quickly too. Our driver would line the raft(engine powered) up with the biggest rapid he could see, then crash up into it. It was thrilling. I was smiling the whole time. We also had a couple side hikes from the river-shores during the trip. The first hike that we had was absolutely amazing! I've done a lot of hiking, but this was the first time in such a beautiful, brightly colored waterfall filled, desert cavern! Insanely gorgeous and I only wish the photos could have captured more of it's energy. The second hike also took us to a waterfall, but it was in a little tucked away spot in the open air. If you have the means to do this, I'd recommend reserving as soon as you can, because it was amazing! Oh, and they do have a vegetarian option for included meals.

Went yesterday and had an amazing time. This was the highlight of our trip to the Grand Canyon. All the staff was very nice and Scott was awesome and a great guide, always offering drinks, snacks, telling us some stories and history, offering to take photos, stopping for several stops to swim and cool off and making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. This was a truly amazing experience for my son and I. I’d give more stars but 5 is the limit. Highly recommend adding this adventure to your Grand Canyon visit. Thanks Scott and the entire team for making it such a fantastic day to remember!

Fantastic experience! Booked a group of six for the Two Day Rafting Tour and was not disappointed. John, Bronson, Kyle and the rest of the guys took great care of us and provided excellent insight into the history, geography and culture of The Canyon. Plenty of hydration for the 110º days on the river. Excellent communication between crew memebers across different rafts made for an extremely safe environment and they cooked some pretty great camp food, too! John's knowledge of the Rapids kept us upright and on schedule the whole trip. A couple of close calls, for sure. But, that's what you're there for, right?!? He was engaged the whole 50+ miles on the river and educated us on everything from geology to flora and fauna to local lore and urban legends (the Honeymoon Rapids story is nuts!). I Would definitely recommend to anyone who isn't afraid to get a lil banged up, sweaty and dirty.

Grand Canyon Caverns & Inn

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
The Grand Canyon Caverns Grotto is an attraction located on Route 66 that offers accommodations in a motel, a house, and a suite situated 22 stories underground. Upon arrival, visitors will encounter the motel and to the left is the road leading to the caverns where they can purchase tickets for tours. The Grotto also features a restaurant to the left of a play area for children with picnic tables available. Additionally, guests have access to ghost walks with flashlights provided.
The Caverns are open! We had so much fun! It was nice and cool down in the cave. We took an elevator down and went on the longer tour. Incredible history, I’m excited to come back.

To be honest, having been to multiple spectacular caverns in several states, we were not expecting too much. We were pleasantly surprised by this experience. Easy walk with just a few slightly challenging up and down hills on the path. Entry and exit is by elevator. The guide was informative and friendly. A unique part was we did the combo and had lunch at the bottom, 200' down in the cavern. Bison burgers were great especially with having to bring everything down from the restaurant up top. They did make a mistake on my meal, but corrected it within minutes, which is great considering someone had to get it from the restaurant at ground level! Some interesting facts about this dry, dead cave were shared AND there is a 'hotel room' at the bottom that you can book for the night. It is in a large cavern, with two queen beds, tv, dvd movies, and even a turntable for music. Booked up a YEAR in advance!! There is even Room Service!

The Grand Canyon Caverns Tour plus lunch was an unplanned stop during our visit to Arizona. We are so happy we stumbled upon the tour online, as we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. This was our first dry caverns tour, and we loved seeing the differences from our previous wet caverns tours. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the caverns, making for a fascinating history lesson. We concluded our visit with the add-on lunch option, which added another unique element to our vacation. Don't miss this tour!!

Excellent stop on old route 66, driving back to the caverns and taking the tour took about an hour and a half. I was expecting it to be a tourist trap, which it kinda is, but the caverns where bigger and more interesting than expected. The path in the cave is long maybe half a mile and does have a fair bit of up and down elevation gain. One woman in our group had a difficult time managing, so keep that in mind.

We stayed in the RV Park with oir 17 ft travel trailer for two nights. They have water and electric hook up. Dump station is behind the market at the entrance. The second night they had a veterans day cookout with a band and they roasted a pig and a live band to 10 p. Mostly locals showed up having a good time and nothing got out of control. This is the second time doing the cave tour and lunch combo! Its definitely a bucket list if you haven't done it before. Beware it dosent tell you in the website the "hike" in the standard tour can be stenious at many spots, especially for older people. It is paves the whole way but are some steep incline/decline at various points. Overall I love the experience here and would do it and stay again

Great experience I would definitely recommend a day trip to the caverns. Make sure you do the longer tour(45) minutes, well worth it.

This was a great experience! It's amazing to see the caverns and hear the history. All of the employees were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We did the full tour with the in the cavern lunch. The food was delicious! The only thing I would say is that some of the walking on the tour has stairs or steep hills to walk up, so it might not be doable for some people.

What a surprise to have this place so close to the start of Havasupi trailhead. Nothing fancy, but did the trick and thoroughly enjoyed being able to pick up our passes the night before so we could get an early start in the morning. A small restaurant is located just a short way from the property and was great to have a warm meal before heading out for a four day hike. They offered a small continental breakfast For free starting at 4:00am which was so kind. Not a lot of amenities but beats camping out one more night. Definitely worth the price!
