 Fun in the park |
500 South Grand Central Parkway Clark County Las Vegas, NV 89106 United States +1 702 455 8200 http://www.co.clark.nv.us/Park... |
Good entertainment beyond the bright lights of casinos is not that hard to find in Sin City after all. The Clark County Government Center, located in the metropolitan area of Las Vegas, sports a spacious amphitheater that sits pretty amid rolling greens and historic-looking, sandstone structures. 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 |

Xtreme Blades |
8425 Spring Mountain Road Las Vegas, NV 89117 United States +1 702 455 8334 |
As skateboards and roller blades are not allowed on most streets in Las Vegas, enthusiasts frequent this park to satiate the adrenaline rush. The park has concrete tracks, benches and structures to suit the needs of beginners as well as advanced skateboarders. It also has a hockey rink, basketball courts, and a host of other sports facilities. Helmets are compulsory, and if you don't have your own, you can hire one at the park office.

Red Rock Canyon |
State Route 159 from Charleston Boulevard (17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip) Las Vegas, NV 89124 United States +1 702 363 1921 (Information) http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/ |
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.
