Good entertainment beyond the bright lights of casinos is not that hard to find in Sin City after all.

Host to a gamut of concerts, shows and performances from rock to classical music and jazz to symphonies, the arena is a lovely spot to catch some cultural action. The complex is a favorite among touring bands, who look to gather a fan following. The Nevada Chamber Symphony's 'Jazz in the Park' concert series is an annual fixture here, between May and October. Stroll out into the lawns for a break or a family picnic, after a vibrant session within the 2500-seat arena. Its amenities are topped off with an option of bringing in your own drinks, and the tickets are priced as low as five bucks apiece. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Excellent fishing hole |
9200 Tule Springs Road Las Vegas, NV 89131 United States +1 702 486 5413 http://parks.nv.gov/fl.htm |
Once known as Tule Springs Ranch, this park not only has picnic areas and scenic paths but also provides four stocked ponds where fishing is permitted with a Nevada Fishing License. The park encompasses 2,040 acres and houses volleyball and horseshoe facilities. The first use of this land was as a watering hole for both Native Americans and prospectors. In the 1930-40s, the Ranch was a popular place for movie stars and others who wanted to take advantage of Nevada's liberal divorce laws and six-month residency requirement. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Fun in the sun at man-made lake |
601 Nevada Way (Alan Bible Visitor Center) Las Vegas, NV 89005 United States +1 702 293 8990 (Visitor Center) http://www.nps.gov/lame |
This marvelous recreational area encompasses 1.5 million acres of land and water. The powerful flow of the Colorado River is denied by that famous feat of engineering, the Hoover Dam, thus creating Lake Mead, the 16th largest man-made lake in the western hemisphere. With 820 miles of shoreline, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area provides ample opportunities for boating, swimming, hiking, scuba diving and fishing. There are campgrounds, boat and jet-ski rental services, hotels, restaurants, beaches and four marinas. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The 12,000 square foot facility offers tanning beds, personal trainers, salt scrubs, massages, herbal body wraps and a 12-jet hydrotherapy tub. The steam bath is popular here, as well, due to the low humidity in the Las Vegas area. A day pass is very reasonably priced at USD20, or is free if services worth over USD35 are ordered.

When you get hungry, trip downstairs to Nove, a fine Italian restaurant. Later, if you last until the evening, swallow your losses and head up a floor to Moon, a nightclub with a retractable roof that allows its namesake to light your revelry. When it's all worn you out, go back to your room and collapse, until it's time to do it all again. Review © 2009, Wcities |

RRCNCA, located just a few miles west of Las Vegas, is named for the deep red 3,000-foot-high sandstone cliffs that are perched above the dusty wastelands of this part of the Mojave Desert. The view from any part of the park is breathtaking: mostly nature fills the view, but from some points you can make out the entire Las Vegas Strip in the distance! If the temperature is extremely hot, climbing/hiking/bicycling throughout the park is not recommended; instead, opt to drive around the park (expect to pay a small fee for motorized vehicles) along a 13-mile paved loop. A visitor's center provides information on area history, geology, flora and fauna (visitors may encounter burros, big horn sheep or desert tortoises). You can also pick up a map of the park with detailed hiking routes (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels). Rangers offer guided tours at no charge -- see website for schedules.

Bordered by Mandalay Bay in the south and the Stratosphere in the north, visitors can enjoy 30+ casinos which are attractions in and of themselves. Fabulous shopping, dining, and world-class entertainment can all be found here. Pick up the latest designer bag in the boutiques of the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace Hotel Casino. Or peruse the Grand Canal Shoppes in the Venetian Resort & Casino. Watch the dancing Fountains at Bellagio, or take in an imported Broadway show. Attemps have been made to make The Strip more pedestrian-friendly by adding footbridges, free shuttles, cable-pulled trams, and the Las Vegas Monorail (frequency and rates vary).

This hotel was appropriately christened the 'Tiffany of the Strip' when it was built in 1957 on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevards.

Newly remodeled rooms in the Paradise Tower feature king beds or two queens, all with spectacular views. Jacuzzi suites are also available. The resort has a five-acre water park, with lagoons, spas and waterfalls. It even has the city's only 'swim-up' blackjack table.

Spectacular red sandstone makes this a scenic desert wonder. This State Park has been a Nevada landmark since the 1930s, and is home to many desert animals. On the cave walls you will see Indian petroglyphs, still remarkably preserved after hundreds of years of erosion from dust and wind. The drive is just over 50-miles northwest of Las Vegas, and at sunset produces a memorable photographic opportunity. Check with the visitor center for details of the park, as well as souvenirs.
