Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
1000 Scenic Loop DriveHiking among amazing sandstone formations.
Your best option for a quick hike into the Grand Canyon from the South Rim.
We're both somewhat experienced hikers, and on a fine late April weekend it took us 2 hours or so to hike the 3 miles round trip to Cedar Ridge and back, the perfect vantage point for experiencing the Canyon up close. Can't wait for next time, with more time, when for sure we'll descend further into the Canyon on South Kaibab Trail.

Everything about Chef Marc's is just as it should be. A charming locale on the intimately small side in a quiet location off-Strip. Fresh, expertly prepared menu. Wonderful service, including having Chef Marc checking in with our table during and after the meal. So far, my favorite Italian restaurant in Las Vegas.

Recommendation from a recent guest, Maria:
"The ghost town was awesome - I highly recommend it. It's actually the Techatticup Mine right outside of Nelson.
7 people live there.
The property is really awesome - lots of old cars and gas station pumps, a crashed plane from a film set, and tons of junk from the past inside the store.
The gold mine tour itself was so interesting - there is definitely still plenty of gold inside there. Their last tour is at 2pm. The Colorado River is also 5 miles away and there's an area where people swim.
Hope you have a chance to check it out."
