Death Valley is a spectacular day trip from Las Vegas. It is worth the 8 hour round trip. From Badwater Basin up to Dantes View. A must do!

Observation Deck has the best views of the Las Vegas Valley. Enjoy a bite to eat and drink with the best views. There are rides too.

The Strat is a fun casino to visit which is locals friendly. They offer free parking for locals. I have visited this place many times. The views are great.

Lion Habitat Ranch is a great place to spend a day. Visit all the lions and Ozzie the Giraffe. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.

Wheel of Misfortune is a rare oddity even for this town. Very locals thing to do. Easy to get to. Lots of graffiti.

City View Trail in Henderson is 1.3-mile trail that offers outstanding views of The Strip and entire Las Vegas valley. It is moderate in terms of difficulty.

Petroglyph Trail is another example of a hidden gem. Archaeologist believe the more than 1,700 individual design elements 300 rock writing panels.
