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!!!!!!
Kennon R — Google review
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.
Marc C — Google review
One of the best desert golf courses I’ve ever played. A must play if near Mesquite or Las Vegas.

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.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway Infield

Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
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"
Joshua G — Google review
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!
Ryan F — Google review
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.
Mark R — Google review
This was my first nascar event ever attending. Great facility very clean, and even with a packed stadium it felt very open. Wheel chair and walker easy accessible ramps to get to any level. A lot of great venders. Fun family friendly atmosphere!

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.
Gregory L — Google review
Awesome race day as always!y driver finished 3rd 🥉 We tailgate before and after the race to avoid traffic. You can meet your driver in the Fan Zone before the race. There are plenty of vendors with free swag! Which makes for a fun time!
Vegas H — Google review
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.

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
Cameron S — Google review
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.
William T — Google review
This visit should be a one time thing. We went in September and it was still too warm. The dam is an engineering wonder. The commute was over an hour but we stayed 20 mins because it was too hot. Probably good to pay for the guided tour if you are into engineering feats.

Ada — Google review
Great place to visit, entrance and parking is free. However, DO NOT go into the visitor center because they have ticket ranges from 15 to 40 dollars for exhibitions which last five minutes. Don’t waste your money on that, just walk outside and enjoy it thete
Junaid K — Google review
I had seen multiple pictures of this dam and thought it was big, but this thing is HUGE!!! We did the tour that took us down inside and that was very informative. It’s also very interesting looking around in the museum and seeing all things they used and how they built it. Definitely a cool place to visit!!
Kendrick S — Google review
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. You do have to pass a security checkpoint to make sure you don't have any fire arms or drones. There are trails that lead to all kinds of places. I just passed through and checked it out, but would have loved to hike the trails.

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!

Great place to go for the day if you want to get out of the heat. Water stays about 58. Nothing feels better when it’s 110 outside. Easy to launch a boat. Easy parking, there is a marina store if you forget something, camp ground with bbq pits, kayak and paddle boards and you can board up to pirates cove.

This is an awesome spot just about 1.5 hours outside of Vegas if you’re looking to hit the water! I usually launch my paddle boards here and head toward the Hoover Dam. You do have to pay a fee to get in, but if you plan on coming more than once it’s more cost efficient to buy a yearly pass! Along the way, you’ll pass the historic ruins of a house, complete with a plaque detailing its history. You can still see the pulleys, wooden walkways along the rocks, and a watchtower. Fun fact: this was the original site planned for the Hoover Dam, but it was moved upstream due to a visible fault line! Emerald Cave is about an hour paddle upstream, and the water inside is absolutely beautiful (check out the video I attached for @trashclvss). Across the river, there’s also Echo Cave, which is worth exploring. There are plenty of spots to pull off and hang out, plus lots of rocks to jump from! Keep in mind, the water is always cold, but after a few jumps in and out, your body adjusts. Be sure to look at the mountains, there are frequently mountain goats there!! It’s always such a fun adventure exploring the Colorado River!

First time visiting. Very nice. Water was clear and looked clean. Got there at 8am on a Sunday. There was already lots of people but plenty of parking. We went for fishing but no bites. Seem like a weekend's a bad day to go fishing there. Too many people boating, paddle boards, swimming, making noise. Having fun but not great for fishing. There were people fishing off the docks but I did not see anybody catch anything.
Abe K — Google review
Will Creek Marina was so good. There was fishing in the fishing area was clean. People were catching lots of fish. There was boating. Everybody was respectful. The weather was perfect. There was plenty of parking for boats and campers. The showers and bathrooms were immaculate. There were people living on sitethat were cleaning up constantly trimming bushes manicuring the entire campground. The water was crystal clear and it wasn’t crowded with people.

It's so nice here! So much wildlife and nature to explore. I just love it!! During the summer the bugs are kind of crazy. There are swarms of bugs that look like mosquitoes, but they're really not. Beware, there are wood wasps here, we've seen them many times, so be careful around those. The only real issue here is people leaving trash and not picking up after themselves. Other than that 10/10.

Easiest way to rent a boat and everyone is so friendly. I always bring people here because it’s the coolest experience around and I am from Las Vegas. Everyone is always amazed with the views, it’s really a hidden gem. You can also bring your dog which is a huge thing for me.

We highly recommend The Grove for your wedding. We loved every part from start to finish, even when we started to feel stressed, each person on staff was ready and willing to help. The ease of everything being included in the package price was phenomenal and made things much easier. The only thing we needed to handle was decorations that we wanted, the photographer, which they recommended a few and florists. We went with M Productions for photography, which I also highly recommend. Their prices are great and our photographer was wonderful. We can't wait to see them! As for flowers I made them all myself using fake flowers. Yes, I said it lol real flowers are so expensive and don't last. The food, music, atmosphere, everything was wonderful! We have to give a super huge shout out to Daisy our coordinator, Madison our DJ, the entire wait staff, Doug our minister and our photo booth attendant. You all made our day stress-free and very very fun! We work in customer service and you all were on point which made our day one we will never forget. The feedback we've gotten from our guests who attended all had great things to say as well. How beautiful everything was and how it flowed nicely. Thank you so much for hosting our wedding and we're so glad we picked you!

— A Hidden Gem That Blew Us Away! We stumbled upon The Grove while planning our wedding and, after scouring all the reviews on Google, we took a leap of faith and booked without ever stepping foot on the property beforehand. We literally showed up for our wedding having never seen the venue in person—and we could not have been more thrilled with how everything turned out! From the moment we arrived, the staff was absolutely incredible. Professional, kind, and on top of every detail, they made us feel calm, cared for, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding from a distance (MA) is nerve-wracking, but their team made it seamless. The food? Delicious. Our guests were raving about it all night long. Just be mindful that it will be buffet unless you choose on entree for entire guest list. And the setting—wow. We chose to get married in the almond grove, and it was breathtaking. The grounds were lush, peaceful, and picture-perfect—exactly the magical, romantic vibe we were hoping for. The only downfalls I would say is the bridal suite was tiny and the seating in the smaller reception hall could have been a tad bigger. Bonuses- The Grove includes the white drapery above the wedding aisle - see attached photos!! We truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. If you’re thinking about booking The Grove, do it.

We just had our wedding here and it was AMAZING! Karina was so on top of everything it made us feel like we didn't have to worry about much of anything at all. Our DJ, Luke, was awesome and played all awesome songs. The food was pretty good and our cake was absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend!

The venue was well kept and beautiful for a small, intimate wedding and party. It is tucked away so after you park, the beauty comes as you walk thru the entrance. There is a gazebo, a small bridge with a small water feature. The water feature is not huge and anything exciting but the sound of flowing water adds to the ambiance. The trees were decorated with lights for a nice nighttime backdrop. The inside party venue had a spacious dancefloor there were about 8 tables with 8on each table and it didn't feel cramped.

Had my wedding here in Sept 2017. It was beautiful...everything was ready for us. We shipped favors and decorations in advance. The venue helped us arrange services for the minister, dj and photographer... We had the small room which held about 50 people. It was a beautiful experience and an amazing and memorable start of our marriage

Tables were positioned behind huge wall columns blocking the dance floor. You had to get up and walk around the columns to see anyone dancing. Food was nothing special for those type of places. I enjoyed supporting my coworker getting married.

Beautiful venue! Shout out to my coordinator Hannah who put up with all my questions and made me not so stressed. She was amazing and so helpful patient and kind. I tend to control a lot of things but I found it easy to trust her and that things would work out. All of the staff for the day of was wonderful our DJ Madison also so thankful to have her for she was such a sweet heart and took care of us to make sure everything was going the way we wanted. Thank you everyone for all the hard work to make our special day happen! The site was truly beautiful and romantic

I can't say enough good things about this venue! We hosted an intimate vow renewal ceremony and reception in the early morning, so we chose the Brunch package. We chose the Almond Grove for our ceremony location and it was perfect. It's partially shaded and surrounded by beautiful green and almond trees. The lighting that time of the day was dreamy. The reception room was the perfect size for what we needed. The Grove provided 95% of the services, including food & drinks (their brunch is delicious!), cake, tables and chairs, tableware, linens, DJ, officiant, etc. The only vendors we went with outside of the venue were our photographer and florist. Their packages include SO much considering how affordable they are! This was the only venue we could find around town that was within our budget. The staff are very responsive to your questions and detail-oriented. We had minimal decor but they set everything up for us the morning of. Our day went by smoothly with zero roadblocks and I have their planners and coordinators to thank for that. Everyone in attendance had an absolute blast and I will recommend the Grove to everyone I know!

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

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.

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 💕😘

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.

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.

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.

Wynn Las Vegas is a luxurious casino resort known for its upscale rooms, top-notch dining options, and vibrant nightlife featuring celebrity DJs. The resort offers a unique buffet experience in a skylit atrium with sophisticated towering Royal Palms creating an airy ambiance. The menu includes a variety of breakfast options such as red velvet chocolate chip pancakes, lobster eggs Benedict, and white chocolate brioche French toast.
This hotel was awesome! Would absolutely stay here again! Service was great, rooms were clean and luxurious and very high tech (Amazon echo devices control everything from TV to window blinds and lighting). Shower water pressure was also very high and much appreciated. The room was on the 26th floor away from the elevators and was very quiet - we had an amazing sleep and stay here. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at Wynn Las Vegas! The property is absolutely stunning — elegant décor, gorgeous floral displays, and everything feels so luxurious. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and super comfortable with beautiful views. Their service is top-notch too — staff is polite, helpful, and always ready to assist. Loved the casino vibe, the restaurants, and the overall peaceful yet glamorous atmosphere. It truly feels like a premium experience in Vegas. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a classy and memorable trip!

Beautiful hotel. Although we didn’t stay there I found the overall presentation of the casino, and eating establishments fantastic. The show (Awakening) was AMAZING - well worth the price as it was probably the best I’ve ever seen anywhere! Also the lovely gentleman, Joaquin (pronounced Jak-quin), who sold us tickets at the ticket office outside of the theatre in the hotel was GREAT. Fantastic service and very accomodating and quick.

My colleagues and I were in town this week for a business seminar (CEMA), and after a few days in Vegas at another hotel, we decided to make a big upgrade and get a really nice room at the Wynn on Wednesday night, expecting an improvement in both experience and service. Unfortunately, my first impression of the casino itself was far from what I anticipated from a resort with such a strong reputation. The hotel rooms were, without question, beautiful — modern, spacious, and comfortable. It’s the one aspect of the stay I’ve been genuinely impressed with. However, that’s where the positives end. After dinner in the food court, my friends and I stopped by the casino floor to play some roulette. All the tables were empty, so we figured it would be a good chance to relax and have some fun. The plan was to only play a few spins before heading back to the room.. It was my first time gambling at the Wynn, and after waiting nearly 20 minutes for the dealer and pit boss to verify my identity and return the money I had handed over to buy in, I was completely disappointed. I was backed off from all drinks and removed from the table before even placing a single bet. In the end, the pit boss admitted that they were wrong and that the whole situation had been a mistake — but by then, it was more about how I was treated than the mistake itself. If you’re planning on playing at this casino, I recommend getting a players card to avoid going through the same headache. I also suggest double-checking that you’re being paid correctly, as I witnessed one of my colleagues almost be significantly underpaid after winning a big bet. This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me at any casino, and it’s unfortunate that it happened at the Wynn on my first stay.

This review is long overdue. Luxury details, decor, feel, service… I love the rooms at Encore better than Wynn - I like the separation of bed and living area. Some people prefer the open concept of Wynn. Both have outstanding service. Encore also can use wynn’s pool - which is good to have, and the other way around is not true. This trip we had an issue, and I could experience the next level care I hadn’t seen in lots of other 4 and 5 stars hotels around the world. The issue wasn’t a small one - it affected my whole family, our sleeping schedules, our abilities to be fully productive and active… Still, we felt so cared for and supported, that it felt like being home under the attention of loving family members. This trip confirmed that absolutely no other hotel on or off the strip can compare to Wynn / Encore. Hussein, Charissa, and the whole team: my warm Thank You!

Beautiful property with lush and mature landscaping. Quick ride share drop-off at the South Gate entrance, which took me immediately to the meeting rooms entrance. Check the map to find the closest drop-offs for parking/valet if you’re going to a meeting room/convention. My friend didn’t and ended up parking at the Encore, which was a long walk. We had a banquet luncheon and the meeting rooms are at the opposite end of the property, closer to Sands ave. Inside, there were comfy chairs in the hallways; I sat there while I was waiting on the event to start. Once inside, the dining tables were perfectly set up to see the stage and the speakers. Food was served buffet style, yet staff was there to help every step of the way. A server even opened my can of soda so I wouldn’t break my nails. The food was perfectly placed and looked so pretty, like a picture! We had a Mexican style lunch and the fajitas and salad were yummy! Sound quality was excellent and there was even a staff member there to assist, as needed. Overall, a very luxurious experience!!

We traveled with our toddler so we spent time choosing the best hotel for our stay. It didn’t disappoint. The check in is very smooth - there is even an express check in where the machine scans your ID and card and gives you the keys at once. There is a security before you enter the hotel building (which is adjacent to the casino) which gives added security to guests. We stayed at a King panoramic room at the 57th floor (hotel is up to 60th floor) so the views are to die for. The room is very clean, the housekeeping always makes sure our stuff are well kept, even folded our clothes in the bathroom. Everything is automated and we were blown away. Our toddler loved the curtain and lights automation. Breakfast at The Buffet is great! Wide selection of food - American, Mexican, Japanese, etc. But I would say- the charges were different each day. Our free breakfast is worth $60 to any restaurant but we only ate at The Buffet, first day we were charged $140 less $60. Next days were free except for gratuity and tips. As Amex Platinum members, we got a $150 spa credit and the experience was great. Truly a 5-star experience. Shops inside the hotel were high end, great to stroll around. We had side trips to the Hoover Dam, Death valley and the Valley of Fire from this location. We can’t wait to go back next year!

We stayed at the encore twice. Rooms were perfect and beds were so comfortable. It was very quiet and we could really sleep in. If you are there for the first time as a member, apply for a membership card and participate in the slots bonus. It is a must do as it makes it far easier to win big. Watch awakening, Wynn’s in-house theatric show. The food at the restaurants weren’t so good though; we ate at Jardin, Allegro, Charlie’s sports bar, and sw steakhouse. Nothing wow’ed unfortunately.

Madame Tussauds Las Vegas is the first Madame Tussauds attraction in the United States and has been a popular destination for both tourists and locals. The museum features over 100 incredibly realistic wax figures of celebrities, athletes, icons, and world leaders such as Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Liberace, Barack Obama and more.
Would definitely recommend, we have so much fun inside the museum. My videos can't be shared here..lol. We did the 4D interactive movie that was the highlight of our visit to the museum. The likeness of the statues is surreal.

Really fun experience. The wax figures looked insanely real! So much to see and there was areas to pose and take photos. The only thing I do recommend which they do not tell you is that if you want to get in for the discount they offer online is that you have to buy the tickets online the day before not the day of which was a bummer. They do offer military discounts and the price drops to $30 a person..but it was totally worth going and seeing if and when in vegas

I have been here before, but had to come back to see Post Malone! 💜 Fabulous! Looked just like him! Had fun again walking thru the museum. Very helpful staff! Very kind.

Honestly amazing!! I was so excited because we are from WI and this has been on my bucket list since I was a little girl and never thought it would happen but then my husband and i went for our honeymoon. It truly was amazing and so open, not to many people during the week which makes the experience even better! We stopped at the wax hands you can get done and Jimmy (neutron) 😊 was absolutely amazing and made our day and week and we are going to keep that experience with us for the rest of our lives. He was so funny and talked to us about everything and let us know all the steps and when the wax scared me a little he was so reassuring and so kind. My nails turned out so cool and he took the time to make sure our hands were absolutely perfect and the glitter was beautiful!! The wax hands are going to be our centerpiece in our house and we are going to put the cards we got with them in a shadow box! This experience was truly amazing and I hope one day we can come back and see Jimmy!!

We had such a fun time walking around in Madame Tussaud’s, the wax figures look so REAL!! Crazy pics in the bar/lounge as the first pic looked normal where concrete walls are clear with only the writings on wall but the next 2 pics have all these wispy colored light or something flying all over, was never seen while taking pics only after we saw pics was it noticed! Loved it and will go back. I was so excited for the Marvel Avengers wax figures and 4D movie we watched❤️Thanks

Ferris wheel

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.

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!).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
V — Google review
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!

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! 🌺✨
Muhammad B — Google review
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.
Olivia W — Google review
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.
Lina G — Google review
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!
Tracie J — Google review
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.
Manikandan — Google review
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.
Rashid R — Google review
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.

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.

It’s one of those experiences that truly captures the magic of the city!

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!

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

Walking around felt like stepping back in time—old buildings, vintage cars, and tons of interesting antiques and photo spots everywhere.

Highly recommend stopping by if you love hidden gems, quirky spots, and a glimpse of the Old West!

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.

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

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!

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.

Mini-vaca to Las Vegas: We traveled to Eldorado Canyon and visited the friendly folks at Eldorado Canyon Mine tours for just a quick stop: well worthwhile and highly encouraged! Ice cold water, and great pics! Can’t wait to frame some of these up and put around my home and office!

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!

Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Park
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, located near Red Rock Canyon in the Las Vegas Valley, offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, picnicking, and historical re-enactments. The park's historic ranch house, once owned by notable figures like Howard Hughes, now serves as a visitor center. Visitors can explore the lush oasis-like scenery and tranquil walks within the park while enjoying the breathtaking red-banded sandstone canyons of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Definitely worth the $10 to get in. Lots of hiking with great views and grass you could lay in or have a picnic. The ranch house is filled with cool tidbits, and if you catch a tour you get a ton of info about the area. Plus, like, who doesn't like to see some cows? Always try to get here a couple times a year.

Cute area down the road from Red Rock. Since it’s outside the city the temperature is a bit cooler, and snow can even be seen here in winter sometimes. The trails are short but beautiful and there are plenty of trees and some picnic tables in the center, but watch out for animal feces. Cows and donkeys can be seen in their pen from a distance but I’m not sure if you’re able to get close to them. This is a state park, so don’t forget to check out the visitor center and get a stamp for your Nevada state parks passport! Normally the stamps are sitting out and you can do it yourself or the staff are more than happy to give you one, but I asked an employee there and she was giving my group a hard time about it. Nonetheless, we got our booklets stamped.

I have lived in town since 2010 and just recently discovered this amazing ranch. The history and beauty of it is so perfect. I am an outdoor person and I have found my newnfavorite spot. The trails are not horrible and will not kill you if your just looking for a short easy trip. The scenery is unmatched. You see so many different landscapes its almost like your in a different area for all of them. The history here is educational and the ranch house is beautiful. Learning about the Pahrump Pooling fish was also something I was not expecting. Can't wait to go back.

This place is such a hidden gem! Awesome place with plenty to explore! The hikes are very well laid out, not too hard. Green grass picnic area with tables to chill at for a perfect weather day. They do have a gift shop with a small selection of snacks. Plenty of parking as well. It’s $10 for Nevada residents per 1 vehicle. Bathrooms are on site as well!

Pioneer Day at Spring Mt Ranch. Stayed about an hour and a half two hours. Should have brought a picnic lunch... Saw couple of donkeys on the way up there. Even a baby! We ate some fresh butter, lassoed a bull, pan handled for gold, figured out knots, cleaned clothes on a board, made a "voodoo" pioneer doll and pinwheel, made some soap, and a lot more.... it was cool.

The rangers there are SO RUDE! They followed us around in their truck… I had a camera that I recently bought just to take simple photos & they asked me if I’m a professional or amateur photographer. Why does that matter? They told us we couldn’t go outside the white fence. There’s white fences EVERYWHERE??? 🤣 anyway, it’s pretty here. But make sure you don’t piss them off. They didn’t kick us out, but that’s only because there was 10 minutes left till closing.

Seven Magic Mountains

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Seven Magic Mountains is a desert art installation showcasing seven painted boulder totems that reach up to 35 feet in height, created by Ugo Rondinone. It provides a unique opportunity to witness the magnificent colored rocks, which cannot be fully appreciated through photos alone. The site includes facilities such as portable toilets and food trucks, and the parking lot is large enough to accommodate a considerable number of visitors. While the parking lot is unpaved, parking is relatively easy.
The Seven Magic Mountains is a stunning and colorful art installation just outside Las Vegas, and it’s absolutely worth a visit. The towering neon-painted boulders standing tall against the desert backdrop create a striking and surreal sight. It’s free to visit, easy to access from the highway, and makes for amazing photos—especially around sunrise or sunset when the colors pop even more. The installation feels both playful and peaceful, blending modern art with the natural desert landscape. Parking is available, though it can get crowded at peak times, so going early is best. While there isn’t much shade or amenities on-site, the experience of seeing the massive stacked rocks up close is unforgettable. Overall, it’s a quick but memorable stop—a perfect mix of art, nature, and creativity that captures the spirit of Las Vegas beyond the Strip. Get those poses ready!!!

A great spot for photos and videos! “Seven Magic Mountains” is a free public art installation by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, located in the Ivanpah Valley desert about 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. It’s easy to find, parking is simple, and entry is free. We visited from Florida while staying on the Strip — definitely worth the short drive for the colorful desert views and unique photo opportunities.
Carolina M — Google review
✨ Only those with an artistic heart can truly appreciate such beauty- seven magical, colorful stones standing tall amidst a silent desert, surrounded by mountains. It’s mesmerizing to witness art blend with nature’s calm. Loved capturing every moment in this vivid oasis of color and serenity. 🎨🌈🏜️ 💡 Tip: If you’re going by Uber, ask your driver to wait for your return pickup. It might save you from paying extra for another ride later- most drivers are happy to wait for a small charge while you enjoy your time there. 🚗

Awesome spot in the middle of nowhere! But there was an ice cream truck there and you had to walk from the parking to the area! A lot of people Taking pics and videos but cool to see. There’s no sidewalk so it’s a dirt trail so make sure you’re wearing walking shoes..
UndyingPanda B — Google review
Seven Magic Mountains, Ugo Rondinone's monumental art installation, is an absolutely stunning sight and a perfect, free detour from the Las Vegas Strip. Also the entry is FREE!! The experience is defined by the stark, beautiful contrast between the vivid, neon-painted stacks of boulders and the vast, untamed landscape of the Mojave Desert. The real star of the show isn't just the colorful rocks, but the immense natural beauty surrounding them. Looking out, the desert area looks amazing with rolling hills and a large, flat plain area that stretches for miles, offering unobstructed views of the distant mountain ranges. The entire setting is breathtaking and incredibly photogenic, making the drive completely worth it. It’s a powerful visual statement that brings together human creativity and the sublime quietness of the natural world, resulting in a truly beautiful view.

It makes sense to visit this art installation in person and read the artist's statements. The sculptures are very remote from freeway exits on a road parallel to the freeway. The effect is best facing the installation with the beautiful mountains of the Mojave in the background.

It was slow a couple of people drinking and playing darts just having a good time. This is a good place to stop for a quick rest. Drinks are complimentary when playing slots. Bathrooms were nice and clean and they have a Denny's open till midnight. Don't forget to tip when you get your drink! :)

Won a little bit on machine blackjack like 150 so ended well for me. They don’t have tables just machines and basically a bar that serves drinks and food. The staff at the bar were professional and courteous and they’re also the ones who cash out the winnings for ya and make the delicious drinks. This place is a bit far for me go as a Californian but makes for a nice stop in the middle of nowhere kinda.

It's midnight, and these two are outside smoking a cigarette and hanging out while there people are standing in line, me for over five minutes, people before me said ten, I walked out and took pics of them in my car while they laughed and still hung out outside while the people inside continued to have to wait. I went next door, got my energy drink and tipped the girl for doing her job. We're traveling through, most people are, and need to get an energy drink or whatever and get back on the road, one of you can atleast take care of the line, that type of work ethic and attitude is unacceptable, and just pathetic. Sorry for their customers with these ones on the clock.. The gas station blond next door atleast got a couple bucks out of it..

Cindy and I had a late morning breakfast at TERRIBLE’S ROADHOUSE RESTAURANT on Saturday, 14 April 2018. Also, we met and shared our mealtime with our friend, Cricket, who lives in Searchlight. The restaurant is located in the small town of Searchlight, Nevada about an hour from Las Vegas. TERRIBLE’S ROADHOUSE RESTAURANT is located right on the main street with easy access into spacious, level parking lots, even for big rigs. Entry into the restaurant goes through part of the casino which, unfortunately, is very smoky and I don’t like that at all. There are booths and tables available. We chose a booth that was located further from the casino part. I ordered the Corned beef hash with breakfast potatoes and rye toast. We had coffee with lots of cream. The Corned beef hash was tasty and the potatoes were good. And, the coffee was delicious. Our cups got topped off a couple of times. However, I didn’t like the rye toast as it appeared to be more a marbled kind of toast rather than the kind of rye toast I like. Nonetheless, Cricket enjoyed my toast as she used it to dunk into her coffee. Cindy and Cricket enjoyed their meals. We all thought that the portions and prices were reasonable. And, the presentation of the food was good. We were glad that the restaurant has an A grade from the Clark County Health Department. Our waitress was polite, prompt and helpful. We will definitely eat at TERRIBLE’S ROADHOUSE RESTAURANT again in the future.

On a trip to Laughlin we stopped for a potty break and to pick up a coffee and they touted their clean bathrooms and yes they were, great job Terrible's. They appear to have a nice little casino and a McDonald's there too. One side note and this is true of so many Nevada small towns ...watch your speed. Obviously not Terrible's fault, just throwing it out there.

Cold beer at cheap price. $3.00 for draft glass and $8.00 for a pitcher. Decent happy hour appetizers (all day), if you can manage the smoke indoors. Never crowded. Good for a quick beer between Vegas and havasu.

It has a casino, it has a bar, it has restrooms that are clean, it even has the convenience store, and McDonald's is even added on to that. I stopped there on the way back from Vegas to play a little bit of keno and use the restroom. I said at the bar although I did not have a cocktail the bartender was lovely. Which is hard to come by nowadays period. I actually hit there for the first time and that was even better than better. No punch intended but it was a win-win situation😁

Desperado

Permanently Closed
Roller coaster
Water & Amusement Parks

Desperado is a thrilling roller coaster, known for being one of the fastest and tallest in North America. Soaring over 200 feet above the desert floor, it offers an exhilarating experience with its pulse-stopping drops. While some hope for its restoration to former glory, others reminisce about enjoying the ride and nearby attractions like an ice cream shop. Its fans rave about the unexpected 225-foot drop at the start and express their love for this fantastic roller coaster.
It's sad to see this legend Standing But Not Operating but, I hope it'll reopen soon because this is on my bucket list of coasters I've ridden. But when it reopens I will re-revieuw this coaster.
Leon B — Google review
I don't think I'll be making a return trip to this establishment anytime soon. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this visit wouldn't be as enjoyable as we had hoped. The roller coaster, a potential highlight of the visit, was disappointingly closed, robbing us of one of the main attractions. Upon entering the casino, we were met with a sense of dismay as we noticed the lack of cleanliness. The atmosphere was far from inviting, with unkempt areas and an overall feeling of neglect. Furthermore, the limited variety of games left much to be desired, failing to cater to a diverse range of preferences. Even our meal at Dennys, a reliable choice for many, fell short of expectations. The food quality was subpar, and the service left much to be desired. It's disheartening to have such a negative experience, especially considering the friendly demeanor of the staff. The overall experience was marred by various shortcomings. Despite the best efforts of the staff, the establishment falls short of providing a satisfactory experience, making it a place I wouldn't recommend revisiting.

Buffalo Bill's on the Primm Valley Casino Resorts website says attractions, such as the Desperado rollercoaster, are still closed until further notice.

Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino is a laid-back accommodation option that provides complimentary Wi-Fi and parking. The resort features various dining choices, an outdoor pool, and a casino for entertainment. Guests have praised the friendly staff and newly renovated rooms, which offer good value compared to those on the Vegas strip. While some amenities may be lacking in certain rooms, overall cleanliness and comfort are highlighted as positives by visitors. Additionally, the surrounding area offers convenience with nearby fast food options and a gas station.
A massive building raising the question of how it was built. Didn't stay in a room, but stayed across 15 at Whiskey Pete's for our honeymoon night in 2004. Went back to look around here in 2025. Pete's is closed and blocked. We gambled at what's left of Buffalo Bill's, a once booming resort as well as Pete's. Bill's at one time had the roller coaster, tram across 15 and other unique attractions that have gone to the nether zone. Worth a 30 minute drive from Las Vegas, almost to the California border to imagine what this had to offer.

The room was not very clean. Carpet wasnt vacummed, pubic hair on shower floor, poop marks in toilet. Only one wash cloth in a two queen room. Sheets were clean and both beds made, so at least theres that. My wife joked not to breakout a black light (we dont have one). Air conditioning worked good all night. No dead bugs so thats why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Bottom line would I stay here again? Well at check in the charge was $93, whereby I was informed 50 of that was a security deposit and would be refunded. So the room was 40 something bucks. Not bad cost on a last minute saturday night reservation. We chose here cuz most the rooms on the strip were around $200. Not sure I would stay again, but it worked out cost wise for a spur of moment trip a day early to Vegas. Now we are off to Mandalay Bay for rest of trip. Just close your eyes or get drunk enough that you dont care. Good luck!

The ONLY positive thing was the front desk staff were nice. That’s about it. I don’t think I’ve honestly stayed in this awful of a hotel room before. The bathroom has a leaky shower, there is definitely hair still in the shower it’s nasty. The fan in there is broken so when you turn the light on it makes this horribly loud buzzing sound. Plus the ac thing is literally falling out of the ceiling. Next to that is a big bubble in the ceiling so who knows what kind of mold is there. Also door handle to the bathroom? Yea no that’s also broken in half! Legit no handle! Room was as bare as it could be including wires hanging from the wall where the fire alarm should be so if a fire happens your the last to know… uncomfortable beds and overall just gross.

I believe it's been closed and only reopened for the Keith Sweat concert that was going on... I wasn't there for the concert and while the concert crowd was lively, the hotel itself should close and never reopen again unless it is completely and totally remodeled.. While waiting to check in multiple people were at the front desk complaining of non working tvs, several people were booked to the SAME room as someone else... non working old air conditioners... check and it took forever...it was completely disorganized.. It's OUTDATED.. rooms are horrible.. There was some weird stain on the dresser top.. We had ONE face towel for our 2 person room. Tried to use the phone to call housekeeping directly and it didn't work.. Called the front desk and she said they'd be right up but they NEVER came .. The "casino " was more like a morgue... We were off-roading and just needed rooms for one night so I guess at $50 you get what you pay for which was less than the bare minimum... Hopefully they will remodel and give the place a major face lift otherwise they should never reopen.

Traveling for work and had a 44' Fifth Wheel in tow. Decided to book a room because of the intense heat and they offered truck parking. Check in was simple, desk worker was pleasant but not chatty. We was assigned a room (1408A), confirmed where to best park the truck/unit and headed to our room. When we turned the AC on it was rather loud but was blowing cold air. We both got cleaned up and headed downstairs for dinner. Once we returned from dinner the AC seemed to be having difficulty breathing and not blowing cold any longer. I tried calling the front desk but after several minutes on an automated hold went back to the front desk. The same desk worker assigned us another room, no real concern of the non working AC in the current room. We went back to 1408A to gather our things to go across the hall to 1409A. The AC was turned on while we moved things across the hall, about an hour later we called it a night. A few hours later, around 11 pm the room was warm and not was not cycling on. This time my husband went to the front desk, as I was overly tired and extremely irritated. A gentleman working thr front desk offered to send the engineer (maintenance) or move us rooms again. This time, we was given a room on the 1st floor, so we packed everything up again and moved. The pillows in the final room were awful compared to the prior rooms, bed was comfy enough but most importantly the AC operated as expected until we left at 6 am. The casino was pretty empty, only a few people playing on the machines. I did not see any live tables but I wasn't there to gamble. A lot of the attractions that once made this resort shine are closed, hidden behind dust and despair. I wish I could have experienced this place in its prime. Only photo I took was of Desperado All in all, I would stay here again (but request a first floor room) simply because of the commercial parking lot.

I'm honestly surprised this place is still open. There were not many people staying here on a Friday night. The facility upkeep has not been maintained and many of the "resort" amenities were not in service. Pool was closed because of high winds. It doesn't look like the roller coaster has worked in some time. The indoor river that is supposed to flow through the casino was dry. Almost all of the little food options by the Bonnie &Clyde area were shut down (it was 8pm on a Friday night). Entire casino and hotel smells like smoke. Don't go here unless it's your only option.
Jeff L — Google review
If I could give this less than one star I would. If you are here at any point during the week nothing is open. The casino is a depressing shell of what it once was. There was practically no services whatsoever, and at one point we couldn’t even tell if anyone was actually working there. The hotel room had weird stains on the wall and was super dusty. It was pretty clear it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The only plus side I guess was that it was quiet. It honestly feels like they are just trying to squeeze every last bit of money that they can before they close it for good. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, even if I hated them.

Whiskey Pete's is a casino hotel with basic rooms and an outdoor pool, as well as casual chain restaurants. Visitors can enjoy a truck stop with a clean store, friendly staff, and plenty of souvenirs. The area around the hotel offers various dining options and shops to explore. However, some guests feel that the casino could use some updates and improvements to make it more inviting. Suggestions include adding newer games, expanding the gaming area, and providing self-serve drink options.
Whiskey Pete's Casino was an unexpected highlight on my drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. I stopped by chance because I needed a restroom break. On my way back to the car, I decided to test my luck and played for about half an hour. To my amazement, I hit a $1,000 jackpot! I was absolutely thrilled! Now, every time I drive back from Vegas, I make sure to stop by, and I’ve never lost my money! It’s quiet and very peaceful, which is something I really appreciate. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I love this place, and it’s become my favorite stop on the way home. Highly recommended!

Overall, a great place to stay for an overnight break. The main reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the casino is closed due to financial restructuring. Hopefully, it will reopen in the next year or two! Showers are decent in the truck stop, bathrooms are fairly clean…not bad for a truck stop. Not going to complain about the prices in the store for food and other stuff….its close to Vegas, what do you expect?!? Hopefully, they will keep the truck stop open during restructuring…it’s the last decent stop on the way into California until you hit Barstow!!!

All locked up, so I couldn't get registered and checked in to get the key to my room. Slept in my car in the parking lot, but I slept well because I have leather seats and reclining seats. No breakfast options because I tried all the doors but they were still locked up the next day as well. So I ate one of my energy bars normally reserved for traveling. The only movement I ever saw on the entire property was som e tumbleweed rolling across the parking lot, which at first I thought was a pack of javelinas, with a hard J. I ran screaming back to my car before the tumbleweeds could attack me. My car has power locks so I was safe from these beasts! Will definitely come back again! Until next time. Thank you.

Great last place to stop and check your rig before running into Commiefornia. Not very quiet when every Billy big rig comes through all night long with straight pipes and running the jakes in the parking lot

Primm Mall

Permanently Closed
Outlet mall
Shopping
Primm Mall, once known as the Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas, is a unique shopping center that has seen better days. While it now features only one remaining shop, the mall still offers an intriguing experience for visitors. The expansive space showcases stunning artwork throughout its deserted halls, making it a perfect spot for an art crawl. Although the vibrant atmosphere of years past has faded, exploring this nearly empty mall can be quite captivating.
I can't believe that this mall is actually dead! I remember, back in the summer of 2013 until around 2015, this mall was alive and full of people. Stores were open, people walking around, and the food court was bright and lovingly happy. I was with my parents when we noticed the interior is completely empty. We remember it and how it was a nightmare it was because my dad used to work with someone at this location. It was HORRIBLE! But I am giving it a five-star rating to remind myself that this place brings back memories, both good and bad. And for any of you who are big fans of the backrooms, this is the spot!

The place says it's open, google says they are open, well after a 1 hour drive, I found out that this place was "temporarily" closed. This is the most dead mall or should I say area I have ever seen in my life. I still do not understand how some stores/buildings are even open! Its too bad they cut off that mall section, I would have loved to just take a look around. What a waste of time, unfortunately!

I've encountered a few dying malls in the past few years (casualties of COVID and shoppers moving to online purchasing) but this mall is completely dead. There is literally a single store (Sanithrift, a thrift store) still open, to include a completely vacant food court. The store faces are now used to display art, which is good but not worth a stop.

I dont know how to rate this place, it used to be so full and vibrant and was an amazing stop on the side of the road.. now it is still and empty. Michael kors and a Thrift shop are still open inside of the mall at this time, but that is it. Bathrooms are still functional, and clean.

** Really fun walk if you have time to burn at the supercharger! ** Model example of physical depression. Honestly such a cool space! Walking through was a lot of fun but for very different reasons than the owners would like. This is the legal way to walk through an abandoned building! 😂 the art made it feel doubly so. I counted 7 stores “open”. In quotation because none of them were actually open and a few looked like they haven’t been open in a while. This place is just begging to be a ‘con of some kind. Comic-Con, anime-con I don’t know but something! It would be a great layout and no stores to get in the way. I plan on watching to see when the building is closed for good. Too bad.

This mall is very empty since covid affected its business. I thought it was cool walking through the mall as it gives off a vibe of being in a deserted city. There are maybe 5 or more retail shops here? I didn't count them. I enjoyed taking photos of this place.

Almost no shops are open, no decent food to eat. It's like a ghost town... UPDATE; I was here a couple days ago, at 11:30 AM, June 6, 2024. The doors are open, the lights are on. There are NO shops open. There were NO people in the building, except 2 young women who were amazed by the emptiness of the place. The mall is nice and clean, including the newly renovated bathrooms. It seems the owner can afford to keep this place open only because he charges $1,50 per gallon more for gas than it costs 25 miles up the road.
