Outdoor Activities

These are the outdoorsy things to do in Las Vegas. This includes beautiful drives with amazing scenery, hiking trails, and a state park with a home you can tour that was formerly owned by the late Howard Hughes.

Just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of the city, Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful drive, and they have some awesome trails too.

This Ranch was once owned by Howard Hughes, among other famous names. It's so peaceful out here. You can tour the home, walk the grounds, have a picnic and buy a souveneir from the gift shop. I truly love this place.
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park

Restaurants

These are some of my favorite restaurants to eat at in Las Vegas. From Teppanyaki, to Pizza, Barbeque, and Mexican food and the best little cafe' for hamburgers, pastrami sandwiches and more.

This is a casual dining place, and the ambiance is very cozy. I love the food here and the prices aren't too bad either.

Good old fashioned diner food that is incredible. They have the leanest, best Pastrami Sandwich I've ever had in my life.  When I have out of town guests, I always bring them here for lunch before they leave town.
Pit Stop

If you like Guacamole, this is the place to get the best guac. My husband and I have been coming here for over 20 years.
Que Mas Mexican Cafe

Other Food & Drinks

These are more to grab on the go than to sit and eat or drink, with the exception of Kneader's Bakery and Smoothie King.

Although this is a drive-thru only coffee shop, I think they are the best place. Way better than Starbucks.

I really love their orange rolls and I buy them every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love their smoothies because they are healthier than Jamba Juice or Tropical Smoothie. I always get the Vegan Dark Chocolate Banana smoothie.

This used to be an old post office and now, you get to listen in on Mob Surveillance tapes. It's quite interesting.
The Mob Museum

Although I haven't been here yet, I've heard a lot of stories about this place. It's well worth a visit. Just make sure you put a protection of white light around you or carry a piece of black tourmaline or selenite with you.
Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum

I absolutely love coming here. I've toured this museum many times. I love going through the houses and getting a glimpse of all the retro and vintage appliances and furniture. You may feel the energy of the past lingering in the air.

There is always live music playing on Fremont street. The vibe is much more casual than the pretentious feel of the strip.
