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!

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.
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.
Coyote Sringa is truly first class. The Fairways are friendly and exceptional manicured and the green are super fast but very receptive. The greens are guarded and require skill for your entry shot. The staff was helpful and so nice. Be sure to bring or get food as you DO NOT return at 9 to the clubhouse. All in all its well worth the trip from Vegas and I can't wait to play the Madter of Track again. Don't miss this corse!!!!!!
What an incredible experience. One that will stay with me forever. The views, the isolation, everything. The course was in great shape. So much so that I was blessed with the right conditions and an abundance of luck to get my first ace ever.
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!
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.

Lost City Museum
Mentioned on
Museum
Specialty Museums
The Lost City Museum, located in Moapa Valley, Nevada, was established during the construction of the Hoover Dam to safeguard artifacts from Anasazi Indian sites. The museum offers a fascinating journey through thousands of years of human habitation along the Muddy River in northeastern Clark County. Visitors can explore well-preserved remnants and reconstructed buildings while learning about the history through photographs, detailed descriptions, and videos.
This is a friendly little museum, only $6 to enter, lots of artifacts and information about them. The staff are all friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of themed merchandise at reasonable prices too. I was worried they would only accept cash because it is a smaller area, but they accept card too for everything. You can see the "M" from the outdoor part of the museum. Only an hour from Vegas and a nice drive, worth a visit.

A lovely little museum that's well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Entrance fee was $6 each, which to be honest is not a princely sum but helps keep this place going.
Inside is a plethora of bits and bobs all labelled which all helps to explain the history of the area.
The layout of this museum is great and there really is lots to see. It's good for both adults and children.
There are toilets, which I'm pleased to report were nice and clean.
The staff were nice and didn't pester you, which we liked.
Parking is good with two disabled spaces located close to the entrance.
This was a great find of a museum. Very well done and inexpensive. Great and friendly staff. Amazing preserves and displays. It was impressive!
This is an interesting little museum; I didn't realize that it was on the National Register of Historic Places. The staff were very nice, and if you're in the area it's worth the detour off of the highway.
Very clean restroom, friendly staff. The museum is small but it’s cute. Loved their remakes outside.
Awesome place to visit, polite and respectful staff! It's worth coming here and reading all the displays! I've only shown part of the story, you have to visit to see the rest! Especially if you're a Marine!! o7!
I love seeing how life was before and learning new things! The workers were so sweet and helpful.
Interesting and informative museum. Many artifacts dating back to the Anasazi through the Mormon settlements. There is a replica of the Pueblos that you can visit. Plenty of parking and friendly staff. Service dogs are the only animals allowed. The museum is wonderful.

Valley of Fire State Park
Mentioned on
State park
Nature & Parks
Valley of Fire State Park is a breathtaking destination that showcases the stunning beauty of the Southwest desert. Located just about 50 miles from the vibrant Fremont Street Experience, this park spans an impressive 40,000 acres filled with striking red Aztec sandstone formations and ancient petrified wood. As Nevada's first state park, established in 1935, it offers visitors a glimpse into its rich history through fascinating Native American petroglyphs found at Atlatl Rock.
Amazing! My initial thought was who wants to go look at rocks. We went to red rock canyon first and it was great. We came here the next day and it's even better. Much closer to it all here. They also have a military discount if you ask. If we make it back during cool weather we will probably try a few of the hikes. Just stopping at the various parking lots you have amazing views and photos can hardly capture the beauty. Must see in person, you will not regret it.
Randy L — Google review
What a magical place. We did two trails over the span of around 3 1/2 hours: the short but scenic Mouse’s Tank, and the iconic Fire Wave/Seven Wonders Loop. Both provided different experiences, views, and difficulty levels, but I feel like there still lots more to see!! Even just driving through the park, you get incredible and genuinely jaw-dropping views of the rock formations. Absolutely blew my expectations out of the park, and the new visitor center looks super cool too! The current visitor center has some cool displays and a nice little gift shop in the middle. I recommend getting here either very early or towards sunset, as there not a lot of shade and, even in cooler temps, the sun can be brutal. Please check this wonderful place out.
Writing a “review” of the Valley of Fire feels a bit like rating the sun. Or giving three stars to gravity because it’s “a bit much sometimes.” The place doesn’t care what I think. It’s been here for 200 million years, unbothered by human opinion, Google reviews, or the existential unraveling of anyone who visits. And yet here I am, typing earnestly into the void about how it made me feel small in the most reassuring way.
The Valley of Fire exists on a timescale so immense that our entire lives do not even register as a blink. While we are born, grow up, agonize over career choices, stress about emails, and die — these rocks just… exist. They are steadfast and exist outside our timeline, the changes measured in geological rather than biological time. And somehow that’s comforting. There’s something deeply soothing about knowing the universe isn’t keeping track of our daily panic.
Standing among those rust-red cliffs and formations, I felt every melodramatic human emotion: awe, insignificance, reverence, and an odd sense of relief that my to-do list, my one sided feud with my neighbor (true story), my overthinking… none of it matters here. The Valley of Fire is the ultimate reality check wrapped in beauty: a place where the universe pats you on the head and says, “Sweetheart, relax, it’s really not that deep.”
So yes, five stars. Would recommend. Bring water, snacks, and a healthy sense of humility
Awesome park to visit, this place had a few stops with petroglyphs that were neat to see. The visitor center was cool and the staff were fun and helpful of cool thing to see in the park. Most of the hikes were easy and well marked. Family friendly even for littler kids to go on. Would recommend visiting!
If you’ve never been it’s a must go. Breathtaking views, most are easy hikes from lots to access. Pictures are best way to describe
Always bring lots of water, sunblock, and download map. Cellular is spotty and can have your GPS bouncing everywhere.
Beautiful place to explore with short little hikes. What they’ve changed in the last 2 years is requiring photo permits if you’re not in walking or hiking outfits. Also no longer can you park on the road and look at the views. Parking is limited in some popular hike trails. It’s hot during summer and don’t underestimate the heat.
The hour-drive from Las Vegas was easy, yet once I turned into Valley of Fire the landscape shifted dramatically — the fiery red rock formations stretched in all directions and I felt as though I’d landed on another planet.
Although our visit required paying the non-resident fee ($15), the experience was worth every penny.
We headed to the White Domes Loop as recommended by the Visitor Center — a 1.25-mile loop that demands proper shoes, but rewards you with a vista unlike any I’ve seen.
Even without a hike, the roads alone provided enough to be spellbound. If you’re in Las Vegas and have a few hours to spare, this place is a must-visit.
I've been meaning to visit this state park for years. Very happy to have made the drive up from Vegas. Scenery is dramatic and beautiful. Also I was not expecting to see Bighorn Sheep! I plan to come back when I have more time to hike. Note, many trails are closed in summer.

Car racing venue

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

Had a great time at the smx final. The track was big, they had screens to see what was happening out of sight. Was able to bring in water and some snack so that was very nice. Well run event. Lost one star for getting out of the event. Very little traffic control. Took 45min to an hour to get out. Park near the exits!
So many activities in the Fan Experience area for people of all ages. Budwiser Clydesdales were on the scene plus games for the kids and plenty of places to drink and tons of food options. This all added to the race experience and made it a full and memorable day.
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.
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!
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
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.
I'll never travel to Laughlin without this trip planner again

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.
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.
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.
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.

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower is a renowned accommodation in Las Vegas that offers vibrant dining, entertainment, and a bustling casino. It stands out as one of the city's tallest buildings, soaring over 1,149 feet high with thrilling rides atop the tower providing breathtaking views of the Strip. Visitors can experience the exhilarating Top of the World revolving restaurant and the stylish 107 SkyLounge cocktail bar while taking in stunning 360-degree panoramas.
We had such a fun evening at The Strat last night! We started at the bar and played some video poker — our drinks were comped, and the cocktails were delicious. Matt, the bartender, was fantastic — super friendly and attentive.
Then we headed up for dinner at Top of the World, and OMG… what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking, the food was exquisite, and the service was excellent. Truly one of those “wow” Vegas moments.
After dinner, we stopped to get our player’s cards. The staff member helping us was kind and informative, offering great suggestions. We played a bit more video poker and tried a few slot machines. We didn’t walk out winners, but we had a wonderful time and felt entertained for hours.
Overall, it was a lovely evening — great food, great drinks, and even better service. Highly recommend spending a night at The Strat!

The wifi that you pay $50/night for through the mandated resort fee is unusable. As in you literally can't even connect, and in the unlikely event you do, nothing loads. Not google maps, not email, not a website.
Rooms are clean but missing a mini fridge. Management obviously discouraging having your own drinks. No ice that I know of.
Carpet smells worn. Could be worse.
Gym is great. Staff are pleasant. Parking garage is managed through a third party and $20/night.
Views of the mountain are nice.
Beds are fine but pretty springy.
3 stars is a bit generous but it could be worse. I've stayed at nicer comfort inns.
Came here for a wedding in the tower and it was beautiful. The food was so good. The staff involved were great and attentive to the bride and groom's wishes. We stayed a couple nights in the newly renovated tower and we enjoyed our stay. I had no issues whatsoever but my husband's only complaint was that the matress felt worn and on his side.
Hotel is conveniently located on the Las Vegas Blvd strip & offers thrilling rides, a comedy club, a casino & a rotating restaurant. I saw the comedy show & thought it was fun & hilarious. The rooms where quite spacious & very clean. I stayed in the older rooms but was told they had newly renovated & modernized rooms. I however had quite an unpleasant check in experience. Arrived just before 12 noon & was told I could only check in at 3pm because of the type of room I booked. Came back just before 3pm & reception staff told me I had to wait until it was after 3pm not minding that I was extremely tired from the wait. On both occasions, they tried to sell me the idea of upgrading to a different room at an extra cost. Got the feeling they were all about money & not focused on customer satisfaction/experience. I get it that it's Vegas but I got a much better customer experience from the other hotels I stayed at. On the positive side, the guys at the Bell Desk were courteous & understanding when I dropped off my luggage prior to check in.
Horrible experience. Not sure where to start first. Walking through the hotel there's a very smoky and old building smell. Our room was in the North tower. This Tower was supposed to be very recently renovated. I'm not sure what that means to the Strat. The room smelled musty. The two lighting fixtures on either side of the bed were hanging off the wall and did not work. The only light that we had was in the corner of the room. I sat on the bed and it felt broken. There was support from the mattress at the top of the bed and at the foot of the bed but as soon as you sat in the middle you were laying on the wood underneath. I went down to the desk and they switched us to another room. This room the lighting was okay but the bed was pretty much the same. We took a shower that evening and after about 2 minutes shower floor was full of water as the drain did not drain. There was also a black mold spot about 6 in in diameter in the bathroom . Also this room had the same musty smell as the previous room. The air conditioner was very very noisy. We had trouble sleeping all night. We decided to have dinner at top of the world and were excited about the view in that it's 900 feet up . We ordered steak and stuffed lobster tail. The steak was okay but not $80 okay . The stuffed lobster tail was $110 and when it came out it looked like mush . We tried a couple of bites of it and noticed that most of it was a bread filler instead of lobster meat . For $110, I would think there wouldn't be a bread filling . The View was fantastic but the food was absolutely horrible especially for the price . Stayed six nights in Vegas and this definitely put a damper on our trip. Would not stay here again if you paid me. There are so many better hotels to stay at for the price. I don't see how this hotel had a three or four star rating it's more like a one star. If I could leave less than a one-star rating I would. Very disappointed . Stay away
On 10/25/2025 around 6:50pm I was staying at the Strat Hotel. I went to PT'S Wings and Sports to order food. After I ordered the food I told the bartender that I wanted to charge the order to my room. When he tried to charge it, he told me my room charges were off. I told him I will go to the front desk. After speaking with the front desk worker she told me that she can not turn on the charges without another deposit. I asked for the supervisor, and when I spoke with him he told me the same thing. The food and beverage manager "Anna" called my room about 45-60 minutes later saying you have 20 minutes to get down here or I will be up there with security. You have food you have to pay for. I immediately went downstairs to see what the issue was. Anna told me I was a liar because I did not speak with the front desk(THE SUPERVISOR COMFIRMED I DID COME TO FRONT DESK). Anna and security told me that I will be escorted off of the property and not able to ever return again if I did not pay for the order. Keep in mind I had no idea he put the order in because he said he couldnt until I talked to front desk. By the time im downstairs talking to them i had already ate. I informed Anna that it was not my fault the order was made without the charges going through. Then I was told by security to write a voluntary statement since I am refusing to pay for the food. Next security guard Gabriel says they will put the charge to my room and take it out my deposit. I feel like I wasted so much of my time and my money. Anna discriminated against me and my fiance and called me a liar and never tried to have a understanding with me. The security Gabriel witnessed her tell me im lying I didnt go to front desk. The supervisor from the front desk confirmed I did come talk to him about charging my room. She called over 5 security just for this incident that could've just been fixed by communication and understanding. She laughed in our faced and never apologized for calling me a liar.
I travel to Vegas every year for vacation, and I try to pick a new strip hotel each time. This is by far the worst one I have stayed at, and I've stayed at Luxor. The casino floor is smaller than most casinos, with old games. Almost no food options until 4 pm when everything opens, and even then nothing follows posted hours (The Strat Cafe was breakfast only, but advertised burgers? The pizza place said they sometimes open at 3, sometimes 3:30, they opened at 4 when we went). Just walking across the casino floor we got stopped 4 times by sales people pretending to be staff ("Have you checked in already? Great would you like to see a show???"). We did self checkin to skip the line, it gives you the room card and then you have about 15 seconds to write down your 5 digit room number before the screen resets. The elevators to the rooms have no security, so we already had flyers wedged in our door before 3 hours had gone by. The rooms themselves are awful. Every hour or so there's a strong sewage smell, the AC unit sounds like its going to explode (I had to wear earplugs to sleep). We tried turning off the AC but within an hour the room was in the 80s even though outside temperature was in the 50s. The smell may have been coming from the AC because a previous visitor seems to have wedged a Marriott Hotel soap bar in the AC flaps. The bathroom has no counter space and no where to hang towels besides one hook on back of door. The soap in the shower leaves a film, and there's not even a door to the shower, just a ledge. Soundproofing is nonexistent, someone closed a door down the hallway and it rattled our headboard. The pillows on the bed are so small I think they're supposed to be for couches. The only good thing I can say about this hotel is The Top of the World restaurant. Come for dinner and do yourself a favor- leave immedietly after for a better casino.
I planned a surprise getaway for our 5-year wedding anniversary, and reserved here based on reviews and price.
And people that are leaving reviews must have low expectations of places. Because they are not a well-oiled machine, it’s dirty and their newly renovated rooms look like they were done 5+ years ago.
I did early check-in and let them know when I was going to arrive. Never got a notice that the time wouldn’t work for their schedule— I showed up later than I put to wait for 10 mins while the person went in the back to talk to their manager and get me a a room. They give me a key and I go and check it out. The room smelt like smoke and was so grossly dirty.
So I went back to ask about changing rooms.
Then they tell me my reservation was wrong, even through it’s clearly on the confirmation that I book the specific type of room in the tower.
Dirty, dirty, dirty. Housekeeping never cleaned our room, they did provide clean towele, but not much else. Didn’t make the bed and never vacuumed— the room didn’t even get vacuumed before we go into the room.
Locations is far from the everything since it sits in the northern most end of the strip.
Spend the extra money. Stay in a cleaner place, in closer proximity to everything.

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.

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
This was a cool experience. We got the tickets for the bar car. There’s only one bar car so we waited for a while for the car to come around and you also go with other groups. About 20 people were in ours. Offers great views of the strip. Would recommend.

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

The Fountains of Bellagio are hands-down one of the best free attractions on the Strip. The way the water, lights, and music come together feels theatrical every time—and you don’t even need to be a guest to enjoy it.
What I loved:
• The music pairings are tasteful and dramatic.
• Shows run frequently (every 15–30 minutes), especially at night.
• Best viewed from across the street or from a Bellagio fountain-view room.
• It’s free, iconic, and always draws a crowd for a reason.
A few small drawbacks:
• Crowded during peak times—get there early for a clear view.
• Sound quality can vary depending on where you’re standing.
The Bellagio Fountains are simply mesmerizing! 💦✨ Watching them is pure joy — the graceful movements of the water, perfectly synchronized with calm, soothing music, create such a magical atmosphere. The lights add an extra touch of beauty, making the whole experience unforgettable. It’s the kind of place where you can just stand for hours, letting yourself relax and soak in the serenity. I highly recommend visiting — it’s a perfect escape to feel calm and at peace.
The Fountains of Bellagio are one of those Vegas moments you just can’t skip. The show feels almost cinematic as over 1,200 water jets dance across the 8.5-acre lake in perfect sync with music and lights. The tallest bursts reach an impressive 460 feet into the air. It’s a beautifully choreographed display that turns a simple stop on the Strip into a memorable experience.
The Bellagio Fountains are, without a doubt, one of Las Vegas's most breathtaking and essential attractions. Seeing them in person is an entirely different experience than watching a video; the sheer scale, timing, and power of the show are stunning. The choreography, perfectly synchronized to diverse music, turns simple water into a majestic performance that feels genuinely emotional.
The Fountains of Bellagio are one of the most iconic sights in Las Vegas. Set in front of the Bellagio Hotel, the water dances in sync with music and lights, creating a magical show that feels different every time. It’s free to watch and always draws a crowd, making it a must-see on the Strip.
The atmosphere is romantic and exciting, whether you catch the show during the day or at night when the lights make it even more stunning. It’s the perfect spot to pause, take in the view, and enjoy a little Vegas magic.
love the fountain show 🥰 viewed 3x (coz we had to go look for a better view). super crowded but it’s outdoor so it’s fine. worth the long walk (from the treasure island). amazing!
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.
The service was on point. The staff very friendly and the food was great. The view was amazing. We had the possibility to assist the race too.

The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is a stunning atrium located within the luxurious Bellagio Resort & Casino.

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.

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).
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. 🌸🌿✨
It was truly amazing. We were lucky to be there the last weekend of the fall display. It was so beautiful. And a bonus that it's free to walk through. It's a must stop!
A must-see Vegas tradition!
The Bellagio Conservatory is always stunning — it’s free to wander and perfect for taking photos or videos. Yes, it gets crowded, but it’s absolutely worth it. We visit every year, and the displays never disappoint — the flowers and seasonal décor are always breathtaking.
If you have even a little extra time in Vegas, make sure to add this to your list. It’s one of those experiences that truly captures the magic of the city!
This was absolutely stunning and one of our favorite things to walk-through each day. We saw gardeners in there each morning, tending to all of the magnificent plants and displays. They had a mushroom theme goddess garden going, and I was completely amazed.
Wow! A beautiful space to take pictures, walk around and enjoy the exquisite Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Stunning stop by and enjoy the hard work and detail that goes into making something so magical for the public. I loved it! Something free to do solo or with family or friends.

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil
Mentioned on
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

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

America is great. What a sight. What an accomplishment. It is always a must see.
You can now drive across the dam again. Also can walk across it. Tours are first come first serve. So you get there and get in line and then get assigned a time.
The view from the bridge is also spectacular.
This 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.
Great experience. Definitely worth to visit. Definitely take the tour, it is full of interesting facts and history. Beautiful engineering marvel. Definitely recommend to visit if you passing by or in the area.
Love it! Absolutely massive and breathtaking! One of the most incredible sites I’ve ever visited. The scenery is stunning from all perspectives, the engineering is mind-blowing, and it’s such an impressive place overall. 100% worth the trip.
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
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!!
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
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.
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!
This was a part of my tour called Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam skywalk tour. Definitely do if you’re able to withstand the heat and the walking.
The lynchpin of a very important bypass of the Hoover Dam. Quite the engineering marvel. The bird's-eye view of the dam is unparalleled. Several placards on the way briefly describe the process to build the bridge. Popular with visitors.
One of the best structures built. Beautiful view of Hoover dam and nice walking path.

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.
Enjoyed visiting this open-air museum where one can walk into the houses of actual people who lived in the Las Vegas area, before it became what it is now. If you want to leave the chaotic strip behind and have a walk in the past, this is the place.
We were married at The Candlelight Wedding Chapel on Nov,8-2003. It was nice. Reception at the Rio.
The museum is free, and you going to have a good time ,came with your friends and family you learn how family lives back in the days

Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours invites you to step back in time and explore the rich history of Southern Nevada's mining heritage. Nestled within the picturesque Eldorado Canyon, this tour takes you through the historic Techatticup Mine, renowned as the oldest and most prosperous gold mine in the region. As you embark on a guided journey, you'll traverse intriguing tunnels filled with antique mining equipment while uncovering tales of miners who once toiled here.
We had a great time on their tour! Our tour guide was great, and the mine is pretty amazing. We were staying on the Strip in Vegas and wanted to get away to do this tour (based on a friend's recommendation). Well worth the drive!

Fantastic experience. Great place to walk around and see the beautiful buildings and to take a mine tour. It's so amazing how you can see the vains in the rocks for mining. Very informative tour. MUST open the freezer in the gift shop. Love the new chappel.
While visiting Vegas for the weekend My boyfriend and I had so much fun with this establishment. First we did the ATV riding. Patty was our tour guide and she was absolutely Amazing ! We then did the mine tour and that was pretty cool too. Bruce was our tour guide for that cool activity and he was amazing as well. We actually got to meet the owners and everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. If Im not mistaking we paid a total of 375 for the whole experience and Id definitely come back to do the whole thing over again. After our tour they recommended we go a few miles down the road to visit a popular lake and we loved that as well. Thanks for making Vegas an amazing experience for Us !
It's a fin place with tons of interesting artifacts. It was over 110 degrees the day we were there so I didn't get to explore all the things I wanted to see outside. On a cooler day I would've stayed much longer. Take water with you to drink. Mine was cool. Both asthetically and literally. It's just above the Colorado River and the back side of Lake Mead Recreation Area
What an incredible experience. Jensen was our tour guide and we have to say he was brilliant. Enthusiastic and interested in telling us about the history of the mine as well as the ATV tour. Not massively into leaving reviews but Jensen made it impossible for me not leave a review. Being able to go into a mine was also incredible. Definitely worth going on this tour if your in vegas.
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!

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

Stop by the general store 1st! The owner will greet you, ask your intentions and give you important info about visiting. 😉 Worth the drive to see the history here; eclectic and somewhat ominous really. Drive 5 miles further to beautiful Lake Mead.
Well worth the visit, acres of collectibles, mine tours, wedding venue etc. If you are into vintage this is a great spot. Owners love on site and are very friendly. Has been the site of numerous movies, music videos, photo shoots etc.
Absolutely loved visiting Nelson Ghost Town! It’s such a unique and fascinating place with so much history and character. Walking around felt like stepping back in time—old buildings, vintage cars, and tons of interesting antiques and photo spots everywhere. The staff was super friendly and shared great stories about the town’s past. It’s a photographer’s dream and a fun little adventure just outside Las Vegas. Highly recommend stopping by if you love hidden gems, quirky spots, and a glimpse of the Old West!
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.
Amazing venue for folks who love the 'Wild West's, classic motor vehicles and memorabilia, and ghost town 'eerie' places... This place has also featured in many Hollywood movies so for the film buffs out where, this place ticks all the boxes
Nelson Ghost Town is pure magic! ✨
Stepping in here feels like traveling back in time – rusted cars, abandoned buildings, and the haunting beauty of the Nevada desert. 🌵🏚️
Every corner screams adventure and makes you reach for your camera instantly.
The Techatticup Mine tour? Mind-blowing! ⛏️
You can almost hear the echoes of miners from the 1800s – history comes alive here.
Whether you’re chasing epic photos, history vibes, or just a wild, off-the-beaten-path adventure, Nelson Ghost Town delivers BIG TIME.
Don’t just visit – experience it! 💛
While in Las Vegas , I found out that there is this cool ghost town nearby , so we decided to check it out. As a photographer I had to get some creative shots of me , and my oh my , this place is full of incredible props ! For some it might be junk - but for me it was a gold mine !

Lake Mohave

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

I haven’t been there yet, but my son has and he said that’s the place to go not the river. The river is running dirty and the current is fast and strong. Lake Mojave is quite serene has a nice swimming beach and has rentals.
Always a fun place to get some sun, relax with a few beers and do some swimming or boating. It was a perfect combo of 100° heat, a cool breeze and really cold water where it felt great while being in the water but nice on the beach as well. I come out here usually twice a year and enjoy it everytime.
I go to Lake Mohave quite often. Most of the time to fish. It's a great place to take the family and spend the day cruising around in the boat, jet skiing or just lounging in one of the many nice coves or beaches. The water is colder than the lake but nice and clean and crystal clear.
A great place to be in the desert! So close to Laughlin. The shallow & natural temperature water is the best part for family with kids like mine. Only few minutes drive from main riverside hotels. The entrance fee is a cool offer.. for a single car $20 for 7 day pass & $44 for whole year! Also this place has several shores/beach some are specify for boats only. Best place to camp, have picnics, swim, dive, ride boats & water jet, but over all get lost from streets and have fun with your love ones. But be careful! Summer could be real hot!
We went kayaking on the river there and it was absolutely spectacular. The views were amazing, the history was really cool to learn about. Our tour guid was amazing and we will definitely be going back. Emerald Cave was really cool. The water was so clear and clean. The water was freezing but that was to be expected since it is snow melt. We had lunch on the side of the rocks and it was perfect. Kayaking was a little difficult but we managed and had a great time! I wouldn’t take kids kayaking unless they are experienced. We saw about 3 kids flip and the water is freezing.
The first time our family visited here. Nest and fresh air but no bright day!
We saw the cows but missing the photo,only in my honey memory.
Road may flood.
This is such a beautiful lake! I keep my boat nearby and go there often with friends and family. The water temperature is very comfortable for swimming right now and the air temperature is around 115° during the day. The trick is to wear a cotton t-shirt and go in the water often with the shirt on and use it as a cooling device

We stopped by on our way to Laughlin. The workers were super friendly and the vibes where very chill. We stopped by on a Friday night. 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.
Ordered a BLT. When it came I looked at it and it must have had a pound of bacon on it. I thought how will I ever eat all of this. It was amazing and I ate the whole thing. This was in 2016 and we were passing through but I never forgot this place. I believe that Mitch Marner needs to take a ride down from Vegas for the BLT!’
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..
On our way from Las Vegas to Temecula we stopped for refreshments and snacks. The store was very welcoming and kudos to all the staff who welcome everyone who stepped in.
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.
Stopped here on our way to Lake Havasu from Vegas.
The food and service were awesome!
Coffee is very good!
We will definitely stop by again if in the area.
It was about 3:00 in the morning and the lady that was there was very nice it was coffee because we weren't able to buy a terrible's because it was too early and the store was closed but she heard me asked and she walked over and said I got coffee for you

Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park & Trails

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

Nice paved and dirt trail going along the Colorado river. There’s information placards and some old remnants of structures. You can also go across the top of the dam and the roads closed to vehicles. That’s where the AZ/NV state line is. You can do dirty stuff in two states. Not as fun as 4 corners, but no crowds watching.
Very happy to have trails like this to ride with the family. Wide enough for cyclists and pedestrians. Bathrooms and plenty of parking at both trailheads, with lots of picnic areas and benches along the way.
You can't spend ALL your time at the casino. Take the Riverwalk north, cross the main road taking your life in your hands, and you'll have the best viewpoint at the new pedestrian bridge. It goes for miles!
Note: no trailer/RV parking on north side. Go to the south side of bridge there is a larger lot not as busy.
We stopped by the park for a short walk. It's a very nice park by the river. The water is crystal clear! Beautiful for walk, picnic and of course water sports fun!
Really awesome trail! Did the whole thing in a loop this morning. I was disappointed to discover a homeless encampment near the picnic shelters on the river on the west side as I was exploring with my dog. Not exactly ideal near kids playground and picnic shelters. The trail through the city side and over the bridge isn't very fun, if I were to do it again I might just do it in reverse back instead of going through the traffic side.
This was a great walk
About a 2 mile walk to the park directly across from the dam. Flat paved path asking the river as well as a dirt/gravel path for horses.
Restrooms at both ends and water fountains and covered shade areas every mile or less.
People fishing, walking, swimming, and enjoying the views.
Stopped by the South Beach on a Monday afternoon, it was empty, all areas looked clean and well taken care of/maintained. The water was ice cold and felt very peaceful since no one was around. Completely open parking space - we are definitely coming back!
I'll never travel to Laughlin without this trip planner again

Don Laughlin was an avid car collector and anyone who appreciates classic cars will enjoy visiting this place.
There are plenty of classics from the 50’s and 60’s and rides that go as far back as the early 1900’s. Some of the vehicles have considerable history as mentioned on the plaques.
Everything in here was well organized and cared for. It was a nice, quiet area to get away from the flashing lights and noise of the casinos.
Free with the players card. Regularly five dollars. You can see Don Laughlin‘s personal Rolls-Royce ghost on display and several other cars, motorcycles and other things somewhere his others were donated or on loan a really great collection and a beautiful setting.
This place completely blew my mind! They have vehicles I’ve never even heard of. My son loved it! Totally recommend it! This is one of very few cool things to do in Laughlin. Trust me!
Kent, thank you!!! 💯 all the way on answering my questions and giving me some good info on the cars and what it takes to keep these beauties nice!
Very clean, great staff and some really cool cars! Check out for yourself! 👍😁
$5 entry fee worth every cent. Many awesome classic cars!
Phenomenal cars on display. I fancy myself a car person, but he had cars in there that I have never even heard of. Teared up a little reading the 911 Memorial Car. Fell in love all over again seeing the Corvette's from the 60's. Just so many beautiful American machines. The staff here were so great. They let you know that you are allowed to take plenty of pictures, the answer all questions you have, and we had a lot, lol
Beautiful collection of maliciously curated classics. Wonder ful job. Worth the visit. If your a motor head and in the area, take the time and appreciate this fine collection. Takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much you read and drool. 😆 A+

The prices aren't bad. Lots of other choices I haven't tried yet: the buffet, the fine dining, etc. I've heard excellent things about everything.

Riverside restaurant has sticky menus, sticky table & meh food. The 1st man who approached our table was asked to come back, as we had just been seated. He never returned.
The front desk staff? Eye rolling & a phffft when asked to see our room bill. Then we asked for a manager, who seemed begrudging to help us. This is not the way to treat people.
Poor ventilation, all our clothes smelled of smoke.
Pool area is very nice & clean. The staff out there are very friendly & kind. People in the casino cage & help desk are friendly & helpful.
There's work to be done here. We likely won't return, too much has gone downhill in the last couple of years. Aquarius looks to be our next location. Thank you, Don, when you were still around, Riverside was the best.
I had a great time. My neighbor took me and my husband to The Prime Rib Room. Great customer service for being short handed on staff. Our server was running his tush off never skipped a beat. I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu, it was delicious. My husband and our neighbor had The Prime Rib. My experience was like going to a really fancy Buffet with a choice of 1 protein. Great food for the price. On the Casino floor, we all had a good time too. The cocktail server was nice and brought cocktails in a timely manner.
Absolute wonderful place, so nice to see such an original place, really loved seeing all the vintage cars. They have done a great job with their displays and preservation of beautiful history. Staff was all friendly, the gentleman at the counter in the car show gift shop what a wonderful man! Made us feel very welcome and was super helpful. Highly recommended 👌
This is one of my favorite laughlin casinos, however the games are very tight and it's virtually impossible to win here. Still have fun though. Never really stayed in the rooms but I've been in them they are decent and clean. Most employees are nice.
My wife Shelly and I LoVe it at Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort and Casino.
Joining friends there, playing out on Lake Mohave with our ski boat, Dining at nearby Bubba Gump's Shrimp..
The casino is vast and loaded with fun. The winter says are friendly and always available to refresh your cocktail. Customer service reminder is exemplary. We also love seeing concerts at the celebrity ballroom whenever possible.
Stayed at the Riverside RV Park. Huge park with great views and not crowded in next to each other. Shuttle service came and picked us up and dropped us off at our space. No waiting! Great staff and nice quiet park. Will definitely go back here!
1st time visiting and it's an old folks rally frfr. Great place if ur over 55 or even 75. There's a place called " loosers lounge". I'm from NY the bronx i could not get my feet or legs to go inside. I'll try harder next time. The club name was a logo 4 me yall may be different go 4 it. I'm also a NJ Atlantic city regular and im old school so I require live dealers and now it's all computer stuff unreal to me playing black jack yet the elders seem to flock there. Nice places to eat but you may feel a tad awkward if your under 45yrs of grinding on this 3rd rock. Ijs tho.ill update later bcuz im gonna venture into the " loisers lounge" ....eventually. 😃

The Staff were excellent. We arrived 11:00 pm Nevada time, 2:00 am my time. Was given a room I did not reserve. They corrected the problem by 10:00 am the following day. We spent our time at the Outlet Mall across the street and my son home in Kingman, AZ. We used the buffet in the other hotel, the food was good. We found the brewery and ate the most excellent food.

I would have given this hotel 1 star if not for the staff. Arrived at 10 pm and had to wait in line to check in for over an hour. Didn't really receive an apology for the long wait, but the woman who checked me in was pleasant enough. The room was pretty gross. The shower floor was dirty and could use a good scrubbing. The room needed a carpet cleaning and vacuuming. There was dust caked alongside the walls. I wouldn't stay here again and would advise others against it as well. I'm not sure how this place has so many great reviews. It wasn't cheap either since I paid $68 a night. Next time I'll definitely find a cleaner hotel.
This hotel is amazing! My first hotel I’ve ever been to. The room was old and the TV didn’t had that much channels. But it was super worth it! Also the smoothies next to the pool were super good! I slept very well, and the AC was turned on and it was super cold! But still, great hotel! Also if you’re looking forward to go at the river. Find a good spot! There’s a lot of people there, but I recommend not to go at the river in the morning, super windy, sand blows in my face. But I had a great experience at Colorado Belle! :D
My room was was clean. It definitely needs an update. The furniture shot. Lamps didn't work. The beds were ok; but they definitely need to be replaced. Bathroom was great! Very quiet rooms. The front desk was very accommodating and new their jobs.I used the beep hops for my luggage and were very nice and while handling my luggage. The hotel could use more types of eating establishments.
I suppose I would stay there again.
The friendly and courteous staff is the only reason for the 1 star. The hotel rooms are not clean and are in extreme need of updating. There were hair ties and other items on the floor so our room was obviously not even vacuumed. The carpet had a matted sticky feel to it - had to wear shoes. The entire hotel needs to renovated.
My husband and I think that we love the interior and the personnel , they were put there just for us. ( And for you) . It's clean and wheelchair accessible. It has all the parking that you could need. The rooms are very nice and very clean, and will be cleaned at any time you wish. Refrigerators are given by request.
,
The Hotel is priced great if you're on a tighter budget. The check in guy Cristian was helpful. My first time staying there, I didn't like the lay out of the the floors. Also lots of people seemed lost going to their rooms due to lack of direction from service desk.The room was so far from the elevator. They should have another set of elevator in the towers but they don't. The rooms come with only 2 towels in a double queen bed. I didn't like that, should have 4 like most hotels. The pool bar was closed both days we went, since you can't take in ice chest ( most hotels it's also not allowed) it made it hard to enjoy a drink buy the pool. Had the $15.99 Steak dinner at Pints. I thought it came with a drink like the photo but it didn't. How ever it was priced right and the t-bone was very good so props to the chef. Check out was easy. I don't think it would be a choice for me to stay in the future, but it is not a bad choice to stay there.
This place was awful. If you're not a smoker, do yourself a favor and stay on the other side of the river in AZ. The first room we got was for non-smoking and it was so bad we turned right back around and had to ask for another one. The staff was pretty gruff with us like it was our fault, but eventually we got a much cleaner room. Breakfast was pretty expensive and not that amazing for the price, but the waiter was really good. Kind of a bummer I can't give him a 5 star rating. The casino itself was okay and it was entertaining watching the raccoons dive into the trash cans out front, but that was about it.

Just spent 4 nights at GN. We got upgraded from a court yard view to a river view which was great. This room had laminate flooring and not nasty old carpet. The bathroom had a nice walk in shower with glass doors. Only concern there was that a grab bar should be installed. Check in was easy and the staff is very friendly throughout the casino. There was lots of cleaning going on, even the entryway palms were getting pruned back. Only disappointment was that the river view bar was closed for remodel and will be closed for a few months. This is our Laughlin go to place.

The room was dated back to the 80's. The only thing good about the room is your dogs can stay there for a fee of ninety dollars 4 -2 dogs. You can't take your dogs anywhere in the casino. Our bed had a big dip in it from people sleeping on the mattress. The air conditioner stopped working. We ordered breakfast and the hash brown potatoes were soggy and not cooked enough and the eggs were over easy, but the whites were not cooked. This was at the claim jumper cafe. The only thing cool about the casino was the giant gold nugget. The red felt under the nugget needs to be updated with a nice blue felt. The casino smelt like cigarette smoke even in the room. When I made my reservation, the reservationists could have been better about explaining to me the difference in the pet rooms about the patios. I would have preferred a room with a patio cuz you can open the door and go outside with your pets. Reservationist needs to upsell.
I’d advise that you skip Golden Nugget in Laughlin. It’s old and nasty, slowly getting updated, but it fails on every point. The front desk lied to me saying they didn’t know if the room we were getting had been renovated; it hadn’t and she of course knew that.
The elevator to the room is as disgusting as any flop house that rents rooms by the hour; it smelled of mold and asbestos. It still has carpet from the 60s; you can feel that it’s damp from the mildew and scuz.
The rooms are not great but the bed was nice. The AC didn’t work well and it made a crazy noise. There wasn’t a single thing we could plug a phone into; the alarm clock had the USB connection but the clock actually didn’t work all. They seriously had a non working alarm clock in the room. The USB ports on the wall sconces were not hooked up to electricity of something because they didn’t work either.
The Golden Nugget failed on every single point.
The whole hotel stinks. The Casino smells like broken dreams, spilt beer and cigarettes.
The Claim Jumper restaurant was nasty. For dinner I made the mistake of getting a French dip; (inviting tragedy I know) no taste other than salt. I actually don’t know why I try to order that anywhere; it’s typically pretty bad. And then like a dope I went back down there for breakfast, a new crew I figured “who can screw up breakfast?” Well… fool me twice shame on me so I’ll own that.
Nothing good here, so I say- Skip the Nugget
This property is very dated. I believe they had some newly remodeled rooms but we were not in one. The bed was comfortable and the shower had hot water but it was really worn. Also smokey, even in the restaurants which wasn’t ideal. Would love to see Laughlin come back to good old days. Hopefully the remodeling will help.
When we arrived, everything seemed fine — until we went down to the steakhouse for dinner. It was closed for the rest of the day due to a main water leak. Unfortunately, every restaurant on site was closed as well, meaning we had to leave the property to find food right after checking in.
A few hours later, we came back ready for a hot shower and some rest… but there was still no hot water. Calling the front desk took several tries before someone finally answered. I was told the water issue “wasn’t their fault,” and when I asked to check out for a refund, I was informed that the manager — the only one authorized to process refunds — had already gone home for the night.
We paid extra for a river view room, yet there was no river view at all (see attached photo). By morning, the situation somehow got worse. We woke up to the smell of sewage and still had no working toilets.
As we packed up to leave, one of us grabbed a donut we’d saved for breakfast — only to find it covered in ants. Photo attached.
We reported everything upon checkout, received a quick “sorry,” and were still charged in full.
At this point, we were just relieved to leave.
Golden Nugget Laughlin may have its charm for others, but for us, this stay was anything but golden.
I called and booked directly from the hotel because I wanted to secure a River view room. So I paid full price. (No view of the River)
From the time of are arrival we had issues. After check in we explored the hotel decided to go to Salt Grass Steak house. It was closed due to a water issue. So after eating a horrible meal off site. We come back to the room to shower and brush teeth. And no water. I had to use my own hotspot. The guest WiFi did not work and was very unsecured.
Waking up early still no water. The Krispy Cream donuts I brought the day before had been attacked by ants over night and I did not know that after eating some of them. We properly left the room and I explained all my issues and concerns upon checkout and I was told have a good day there is nothing I can do. Here’s your deposit back!
I had less amenities here than at my house. I will never stay here again.
After this weekend, The Golden Nugget Laughlin will always be our #1 choice when booking. Their employees are so amazing!!! I had left my wallet and was unable to check in, but Dawn came to our rescue and handled it for us. After a few hours of dealing with our 3rd party booking site, Dawn had us all checked in. I am so grateful for all her hard work, patience and help. Also, Jacob the hotels driver was the coolest guy ever. He saw us struggling with Uber and offered to give us a ride. Not only that, he came back to pick us up from our evening. Such a great guy...thanks Dawn and Jacob for making our stay with the GN so great and memorable. We look forward to coming back soon!!!
Sadly, the Golden Nugget has lost us. We changed rooms due to the first room having plumbing issues, a broken a/c, and a few small things not worth mentioning. While the second room had awesome a/c, it did still have plumbing issues and just generally downtrodden. We met someone in the hallway who had mold in their first room, plumbing issues and a few other things in their second room. Both of us agreed we won't be coming back. The whole place has obvious signs of neglect, disrepair, and the appearance of lack of respect for a once classic place to be. On the upside, the gals at the desk were awesome! Unfortunately, we will not longer come back to the Nugget and will find better accommodations.

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

I gave it a 3 because of the employees that were helpful and went beyond. The check in started our stay and it was not good. We have a service animal and we always inform the desk of that. I had reserved a No Tower room because it was newly renovated. My husband checked in while I allowed my dog to potty. Side note-he is an alert type service dog and had injured his leg, requiring him to very limited walking per vet. He was in a stroller which would not have limited his ability to alert. When we got ro our room I realized this waa not the room I had reserved. It was a pet room overlooking a roof. I called and explained the situation and was given many excuses. After finally being changed we were moved to the correct room. BTW we had paid extra for a newly renovated room because of the reviews and they were spot on. All of Laughlin had a tired look. Harrahs has a private beach and although open, the pajamas were unavailable, you couldn't bring your own umbrellas and so many restrictions, geared to increase income for Harrahs that it wasn't worth going. It was early September and close 100 so, why the beach was basically unusable, I dont know. We used ro visit Laughlin regularly, loved Harrahs but will never go again.
This was our first Ceasers trip. It was our first time to Laughlin. First off I requested a nonsmoking room they put us in one and I went and they put us in a non smoking room. The room was very hot we had to turn the air down to 60 to even get it comfortable. Our bed sheets had holes in them. The shower was very dingy. The shower floor was so slick you had to be very careful or you would fall. Asked for housekeeping to clean our room and change our sheets and get trash and I asked three times and still never showed up. The lady that was checking out that day was very rude and rolled her eyes at us like we were a burden to check out. They have the option of checking out on your tv but it was not working. They have kisok not working to check out! Because the Tv was not working nor the kiosk to check out wasn’t working you felt the need to be rude and role your eyes at all of us and then just through our keys on the counter. There was no thank you, no saying thanks for staying with us we hope to see you again just downright terrible customer service. That last thing that really put the icing on the cake was we were told that our luggage would be picked up from our room at 2:00 and it would be at the airport when we got their to collect. Well ours did not show up. The man I politely asked about our luggage he told me to have a seat and chill! Very rude. Finally got our luggage after we called and raised cane because they weren’t here finally got there and we were the last ones to check in and just made it to our plain. We do not have a good experience to share! If we come back to Laughlin we will be staying somewhere else that’s for sure.
We had great weekend.
The staff was awesome.
I would recommend new beds
I've been in property management over 15 years.
I have to say housekeeping need to be trained a little better.
Had to ask for tp, the first night.
Then on Saturday when cleaned, left rubber on bathroom floor
No water or coffee left.
The bathroom floor is very slippery.
The hotel is old and dirty.
There was a smell of cigarettes in the casino.
I bought air freshener for the room.
I only stayed one night. The beds were comfortable also. And
The staff was AMAZING 😍
They are so eager to help.
The staff made the whole trip absolutely comfortable.
This place would be wonderful if it was updated.
My husband and I stayed here for Labor Day weekend with some family, it was not worth the price.The room was lack luster and very small. I completely agree with most reviews about the staff being rude. One bartender at the adult pool was especially rude and had the worst attitude to the point where we just left the pool. It was nice having the private beach for sure. The casino floor was big with a lot of slots, cocktail servers were nice but we will not stay here again when we come back.
The Rooms are old and run down. The beds are lumpy and hard. The pillows are flat and stiff. The hallways smell like Marijuana. The bartenders are rude. There areno good places to eat. The whole property is run down and needs a deep clean and fresh paint. And lastly the tables are minimum $10 always they close most of them early during the week and the machines don't pay out very well. The shuttle between Tropicana and Harrahs only runs every hour. It could easily run every 30 minutes. The water taxi is fun. The river and mountains are beautiful.
This resort is not conveniently located to anything else. I took the city bus to get around. You have to climb/ descend 135 stairs to get to the street level to catch the bus. The casino is always smokey even in the non- smoking section. Rooms are starting to show age and need updates in the bathroom.
