American restaurant

Step into the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar, a historic Old West venue that has been transformed into an ice cream shop and American eatery. This establishment is located in a building with a rich history, rumored to be haunted, and was originally built in 1902 as the Durlin Hotel. After being rebuilt following a fire in 1924, it was renamed the Oatman Hotel in the 1960s.

Great day trip for the family. The drive in is beautiful and littered with donkeys along the road so drive slowly. The town is welcoming and playing with the donkeys was so much fun. The locals were very friendly and willing to share all kind of info about the town and wildlife. Oh yeah.. the food was wonderful and plentiful!

A fun place to visit and have a meal. The menu is basic having mostly burger and fries type of food. They do offer a few salads for the health conscious. What is intriguing is the massive amount of dollar bills attached everywhere possible!

The truth is that the Restaurant employees were extremely courteous. The concern is more about the clientele behavior. It's clear that some of your customers still instill poor interaction behavior with a variety of different cultures. As a owner of my own restaurant i have found that this can usually cause customers to stop returning.Again the service by all the employees was great. I believe that promoting better respect among all customers should be a big focus. By providing more server's helps to meditate the time frame of customers to customers interaction.

The food here is delicious!! Such a unique menu and the portions are huge! I would definitely recommend the pulled pork it’s amazing. And the buffalo burger tastes really good. Both we’re definitely hits 😋😋

I recently visited the Oatman Hotel and Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was absolutely disgusting. The dishes were poorly prepared, tasteless, and far from fresh. The service was equally terrible; the staff seemed indifferent and uninterested in providing any level of hospitality. If you're thinking about eating here, do yourself a favor and avoid this place. It's not worth your time or money.

We love Oatman and the hotel. Every trip to the area we go there and check out the shops and the hotel. Highly recommend. Great place to stop in and eat as well as gawk at all the wall and ceiling decorations. We have missed breakfast every time we go so hoping to get to enjoy that sometime also. We will definitely be back again in the next year.

We visited Oatman and hopped into the Oatman Hotel & Restaurant for lunch. Great service in a quirky place full of $1 bills. The waitress said they are estimating it to be more than $400,000 stapled to the wall. There is some great history behind why these bills are there (ask someone working there and they will explain why).I had the Road Runner Chicken Sandwich and my husband had the Pulled Pork. Mine was okay. My hubby looooooved his!Priced as expected as it is the only restaurant in town.Worth a visit!

Fun place to stop in for a drink and bite to eat. The amount of dollar bills stuck to the walls was staggering. Food was good, and ambience put you feeling like being in the Wild West. The gun fight show in the street at 1:30pm was a huge plus. We were able to see it right was we walked outside from lunch.

Andrew P — Google review

I went to the restaurant. Food was good. Drinks were good although watch the bottle beer. The one we got was skunky. But that could be because everyone else got the drafts. It's worth going to and giving it a try.

This place was awesome! The town was created in 1915 as an old mining town and you can see that in how the town looked. There's a lot of tourist stuff there too unfortunately we didn't get to see everything and plan to come back again, also not only that but they had a western show in the middle of the day for everyone to see as well. There's donkeys as you walk around and in the middle of the street as you're driving there so please be careful besides that the whole thing was just a great experience.

I would have given it five stars based on the waitresses who gave excellent service, the food which was beyond my expectations and the atmosphere which was so fun. Here comes the but… there was a bigger lady (no put down, I’m of the larger size myself, It’s just a way to identify her) who was evidently the manager. She was very offputting and abrupt. I saw a group of people and one person was going to take a photo of all the rest of their friends so I have to get up and take the photo and as I did, she asked them “are you eating or just taking pictures? “ Not the friendliest way they had just come down from the bar and had drinks on their hands so her next question was “are you at the bar or in here” which they replied that they were going to eat in the restaurant, So she responded “anywhere you want”. Everything was said, crassly and abruptly skating on the edge of rude.. And she kind of snapped at each person that walked in that same way. She stood out like a sore thumb as the rest of the staff were so kind and sweet. The grilled chicken that was on the salad was mouthwatering, the olives, which usually olives are not the best at a restaurant were fresh and delicious and the salad dressing matched. Really great place to visit reasonable prices great atmosphere wonderful waitresses highly recommend it.

Oatman is a small tourist trap with a twist, they have wild donkeys. They made the visit worth while. The Hotel is nothing special except for Clark Gable staying there a long time ago. The bar has thousands of dollar bills stapled everywhere. I will say Heidi made me her one of a kind ice coffee, great job Heidi. Without the donkeys or Heidi's coffee, I'm not very interested.

Fun restaurant in kitschy Oatman. Being the only restaurant in town, I did not expect it to be good; but it does seem like this is the beating heart of the town! Nice atmosphere, live music, a lot of people, and the burgers tasted really nice!

Fabian H — Google review

Some of the most unusual wallpaper I’ve ever seen. Oatman Hotel Restaurant and Saloon is nestle in a quiet old gold and silver mining town. Right out of the old western movies that my Ma and Pa used to watch. A menu with many items to choose from including good old biscuits and gravy which I had ordered. Some of the best gravy I’ve ever tasted. Glancing over at other tables, where people were eating, the other items look delicious also. The locals which not only include those who live there, there are several boroughs wondering around the streets. Friendly and very hungry. If you like stepping back into history and love delicious tasting food, then give the town of Oatman, Arizona a visit and don’t pass up the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Saloon.

If you're interested in checking out an early 1900s mining town? This is the place to go. It has interesting shopping and good food. On weekends, there are staged gun fights.

Edward F — Google review

This was a cool place to check out while doing the Route 66 road trip.I didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food or service.We were allowed to walk around and take pictures. It was AWESOME!There are over 400,000 $1.00 bills that are literally hanging everywhere a space could/can be found. And the Burros roaming freely about town and along the sidewalks of the shops are funny too.My sister & I had one that came from behind us and just walked right between us as we were walking down the sidewalk window shopping.

JoAnn M — Google review

I had the buffalo burger with burro ears and enjoyed all of it. My daughter ordered the tuna melt with fries and that was yummy as well. The whole decor of the restaurant is very unique and I dig the vibe. Service was excellent and all the staff were extremely friendly and talkative. Really happy we happened to randomly walk into the place.

J R — Google review

Buffalo burger was delicious! It was my first choice. The prices are fair, and the service was great, especially considering the crowd they were accommodating. We met some friendly people there, too!

Not very far from Las Vegas, in the town called Oatman is the 'Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar' which has US Dollars stuck all over it. The site is very unusual since this is not merely a decoration theme but real currency notes, also called a 'Bill' in the US. I found this to be a cool place to check out while doing the Route 66 road trip in June 2023. These dollar bills were originally left there for the miners to buy food since they would go into the mines and come out after several weeks. These bills left for them by passersby would ensure they were not starved. The tradition continues to date, except people also write their names on the dollar bill. There is also a gift shop and museum attached to the restaurant, but they were closed when I visited.

The staff was friendly. The live music made for great atmosphere. The food was great!1/3 pound burgers made fresh were great. Our food came pretty quick and we were able to see the gun fight.I enjoyed the onion rings and fries with great burgers.The dollars all over the room was a cool sight. Hope to come back the next time I’m here.By the way, the name says hotel only for recognition, they don’t book rooms.

Fun waitress with an FU attitude. Food was pretty good. Remember this is a tourist town. Spend a little and have a good time. Buy some burro feed and get a cold drink. People here are awesome, just ask.

Fun place for lunch and Western gunfight! The burro chips are extra large potato chips and very unique. Get sauce to dip into. Servers are fast and efficient. 20 min. from Bullhead City, AZ.

Made a rode trip to Oatman Az from Las Vegas.Boy was it worth it, despite the 111 degrees outside today. Stopped here to get a bite to eat.We both had the pulled pork sandwich and homemade chips. The prickly pear margarita was delicious too. Exceptionally delicious and service was wonderful from Sue. We recommend the drive and restuarant.

Was so excited to finally get to visit here but this waitress was the absolute worst .... why even work with the public if you do not like working with people 😒 terrible. Almost 2 hour wait . ✋️

Wonderfully charming place to eat with home cooked food and huge portions. You won't go hungry or thirsty here. With over $300,000 dollars worth of dollar bills stuck to the walls and ceiling, this eatery does not lack any conversation. On occasion you will also get to see Big Mike come in from his wrangling and robbing in the streets (all for show). They make their own potato chips which are amazing when they cover them in cheese and garlic!! We've eaten here many times and everything has always been great. Still the pulled pork is simply the best when you pair it with the homemade chips and a bottle of Route 66 Root Beer. The Root Beer isn't on the menu, so you have to ask for it. Christa will help you out, she is a wonderful advocate of Oatman and is charming and gave us great advice on future stays. She didn't steer us wrong on our food either. Over all this place has so much character it's worth it to come in and have a drink or a samwhich to just take a look around and here some stories about how the dollar bills were left for the miners. You will probably see the burros out front as well because the smell of the food drew us in as well!!

Kristol B — Google review

Really cool historic bar Clark Gable used to hang out here. It’s really fun to see y’all the dollar bills stapled to the ceiling and walls. They have cheap alcohol and good food. Most days they have a band.

Bartellj — Google review

Super cool! Full of dollar bills on the walls and ceiling! They are everywhere. Don’t miss the upstairs. Lots of gifts and souvenir items and history posted to read. Seeing the old hotel room is interesting too. Staff member was super kind too. We did not eat here but have heard the food is wonderful.

This is the only place in Oatman to get a meal but that's okay because it's a great choice. The Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar is no longer a hotel, just a restaurant with a full bar. From unique atmosphere to the terrific service we thoroughly enjoyed lunch here while visiting the famous burros of Oatman.

Gary C — Google review

It is a bar and a restaurant. It is not possible to stay overnight here. The ambience is funny, with hundreds of dollar bills replacing the paper on the walls. It was also suitably decorated for Halloween. The food was average but honest. The service was okay. We had sadwiches and soda. The place itself puts on a western show at noon-1pm. The restaurant was part of the holdup. That was funny.

Robert — Google review

Great staff, great food and drinks. We even found dollar bills signed by us in 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Only downside is the burrows prevented my wife from going out 😆 🤣

We had a wonderful time in Oatman everyone extremely friendly. Ended our trip with lunch our waitress Connie rocked we had so much fun with her. Everyone in restaurant very helpful. Food was yummy and hot best service and food since our trip to Laughlin.

Ll C — Google review

We came around lunch time and thankfully there was an open table. The special for the day was Sloppy Joe's and fries. Food was hot, fast and delish! They have homemade fried potato chips called Burrow Ears (a play on words as there are burrows everywhere) with a salsa and sour cream dipping sauce. The Patty Melt was divine! 😋 better food and prices than what we paid for a buffet at one of the casinos in Laughlin. Must come see this place and experience a "shoot out" right outside the door and help donate to charity! Don't forget to tip the staff well! They serve hundreds of customers a day.

Interesting, quirky, quaint, historic, artsy, old west mining town from the early 1900s that got resurrected for the tourist trade. Lots of domestic donkeys gone wild wandering about. Worth a visit if in the general area and you have a few spare hours .

Our second home away from home.Love this place.The casino floor layout has changed a bit and the non smoking area has gotten smaller again.So technically there is no longer a non smoking area with the other half of the old non smoking now a smoking area.The room was nice and clean.

WOW the staff here makes our stays so pleasant. Dylan at the front desk has such a good attitude & has been super helpful every interaction we have with him. Andrew, Samantha, Anthony, Jeremy, Tammy & Dina at the bars have excellent customer service. They're so friendly & remember our drink order.The staff at Beach Club & The Range always get our to go orders correct, I suggest the French Dip.Some of the rooms could us an update but over all the rooms are clean. The gym is decent & the hot tub is open in the winter months. Location is a little removed from the main drag but a walk down the hill are the other casinos. The shuttle also runs to the Tropicana.Free parking is another perk!!The sunsets are beautiful, sometimes the mountains to the east turn pink during sunset. Very relaxing watching the birds hunting for fish in the clear blue water of the Colorado River.

Windy F — Google review

You pay what you get for. Great if have a family on a budget. The elevators are horrible, it was take about 30 mins to get to your room from the casino floor. So be prepared especially if you have children. The hotel needs to put a security officer near the elevator. Tired and drunk people don’t mixed. We had to walk 10 floors of stairs to get to our room. Thank God I’m fit!

Savage — Google review

Okay so room is GREAT for the price but we got lucky there. Waiting for the elevator every night sucked. ****Loved loved loved that there was an adult only pool with bar. Drinks are pricey everywhere. Beach was amazing except 118 dollars a day for palapa and 2 sun lounge chairs. Totally worth it but paying for shade because it's 116 seemed excessive... waitress from beach bar earned her tips. She had a hard job!!! She was nice. Won at slots. Our room ran out of toilet paper. That was weird. Slept great. Beds were nice and black out curtains worked great. They are older rooms but okay for what they are. We enjoyed our time despite the little things.

Amber D — Google review

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews for this resort. We were just there for 4 days and had a great time. We stayed in the South Tower and our room was clean and cool. The staff was attentive the whole weekend. Cocktails were fast, maybe the ones complaining should try tipping occasionally. The adult pool was fine. The kid pool and the beach looked crazy so we didn't go there. The Range was a great experience. A little pricey but worth it.

Ajpeppers254 — Google review

The rooms are hideous!! 1989 style and shredded drapes! The finish was gone on the coffee tables.... Just take them out along with the drapes!! Very few cocktail waitresses and not many jackpots going on. The best part was the steakhouse. This place is out in the middle of nowhere so be prepared to travel. I'll probably go back but I won't stay the night.

Lesa H — Google review

I booked in the newly remodeled North tower and my kids & I loved our stay. The arcade, food court & pool were conveniently located soon as you step out the elevator! The staff were great. I had a family emergency during my stay and they were very polite & helpful.I really would’ve liked if my room had a fridge & microwave. But overall, our stay was so relaxing. I’m looking forward to staying there again soon.

Liliana C — Google review

I am glad I booked with Harrah's and didn't listen to reviews. From the moment I checked in until check out I had the best time. I forgot the name of the front desk agent that helped me but she was a ray of sunshine. I got a room in the center tower with the river and pool view. The room was really clean and spotless, it's more than expected for an older hotel. The staff are really great and friendly. You will need reservations for their restaurants, just FYI, better make it ahead of time. Pool was open but it was freezing so I didn't get to utilize that. Overall, awesome experience!

Michelle B — Google review

Never had any real issues here except during one stay when a computer glitch put me in a different room but front desk fix it immediately.Rooms in the North and Central tower are a little dated but comfortable to stay in. I always ask to stay in the south tower when possible cause the rooms are more modern and closer to the action down stairs.They do have plenty of food options here which I like and I usually go with the Beach cafe as the prices are still reasonable during this weird year and food have always been a hit for me.The Cocktail Servers are very nice and do bring drinks around in a timely manner. Only had one issue with one server that was standing and talking to another worker while her tray had drinks ready to be served. Beer was already warm when handed to me.I do have some favorite servers and always try to sit in their section cause they always take care of me without issues.overall I'll keep coming back and staying here for work cause staff are always friendly and I feel safe during my visits

Jamie S — Google review

We stayed a total of 4 nights. It was a sold out weekend so it was very busy. We stayed in the North tower which was awful!! For the entire tower, only 2 elevators were working. We were constantly waiting in long lines to get back into our room and even just to get down to the main floor was a nightmare. On top of that, our room keys “deactivated” 4 times. They said to be sure we weren’t keeping our key next to debit cards or electronics, and they still wouldn’t work.Imagine waiting in a 30 minute line just to get up to your room, only for your key not to work. Very frustrating. The staff were all very nice. I will never stay here again.

Krissy — Google review

We always loved coming to Harrah's in Laughlin, but we hadn't been in several years. This time, we were really disappointed by the lack of amenities and lower quality of service. The valet (which used to be free) is now $10 a night...which isn't awful, compared to Vegas. The trouble was, the valet was marked "full" (when in reality it wasn't full at all, they just didn't have staff for it). I don't like being deceived in this way...I could clearly see that the valet wasn't full. The self parking garage is confusing to get to and isn't connected directly to the casino, meaning you have to walk a long way to get to the hotel. The parking garage elevators were slow or not working, so if we hadn't insisted on them taking our luggage out near the valet, we would have had to wrestle some large and awkward bags down stairs and all that distance. The self check in kiosks were not working, so so much for contact free check in.The room itself looked very dated, with a giant wardrobe taking up valuable real estate. The air conditioning was cranked down to 60, but it was nearer to 75 and really humid in the room. The ice machine on our floor didn't work, even after reporting it several times to the front desk. Other guests reported the same thing on their floor. The whole hotel looks like it needs a serious makeover and rehab.They have done away with the magnificent buffet they used to have, and the rest of the restaurant options are really nothing special. Decent food, but the only restaurant open for most of the day is the Cafe, and it's not spectacular. The Range Steakhouse was nice, but not worth the high price (except for the excellent service).Gaming-wise, they have taken out a LOT of old, fun slot machines in the name of social distancing and replaced them with fewer ginormous, money-grubbing machines that are largely all the same. Very little playback to the customer on these, which doesn't make for a fun day of gaming. Many of the table games were closed during the day, and the ones that were open had too high of a minimum for the middle of the week. They used to have table games in the nonsmoking casino, but those are now gone and replaced with the ridiculous new slot machines, so if you want to play a table game in smoke-free comfort, you're out of luck.We ended up spending more of our dollars at another casino this trip. I am hoping that when I return that at least some of the room problems will have been addressed (but I am not optimistic).It's really a shame that this hotel has gone so downhill. Its sister property down the road was somewhat nicer with better service and food.

Laura B — Google review

This is a casino, so it is what it is. They want your money and they will give you free drinks. As long as you were playing.. Booking in was very easy through my charter trip.. It is just that it is in the middle of nowhere and you have to take a ride to get anywhere.. Prices of course are outrageous for pops out of their little shops. They have 2 pools, one is a family pool. The other is the adult pool where they have the drinks. It was nice somewhat small, but if you were there early enough to get a chair, it was better. They provided the pool towels which were very big and thick.

Mullet L — Google review

Went to go celebrate 21 year anniversary with my husband. The room was dusty. It smelled musty like and old smell. Stains on carpet, ac didn't work has well. Only 2 elevators worked, the lines to get on elevator was long as if you are purchasing a lotto ticket. The elevator from the parking lot didn't work. Majority of the flooring was in such terrible condition. I'm surprised no one has hurt themselves. The stairs are not leveled. Terrible experience.

The hotel is in a great location and everything around looks beautiful and well kept. However, they need to freshen up their interior designs, it looks a little dated. I have been there several times in previous years, this time I found that they closed off the access to the beach at night time, and that used to be one of the best highlights of that hotel because they have a beautiful beach. It was so nice to sit at the shore of the river to have a drink or share a romantic moment. That was disappointing!

Daisy H — Google review

The hotel is at the end of the strip and looks great from the outside. 3 towers on the river front. It's not a straight drive to the hotel from the street. You will meander down the driveway. There are two parking garages and a small open lot. The valet was very helpful. I was "upgraded" to the center tower because one tower was closed for the season. The room was very dated. Carpet was dirty. Tub water barely drained. The sheer window curtain was shredded. The soft chair was shiny dirty. That's my best description, but definitely needed to be set out to pasture and burned. Two stars only because the valet was nice and helpful.

Pete Y — Google review

Rooms weren't as bright as they were in the pictures on their website. Not as clean as I thought it would have been as we found cigarette butts behind the TV and rappers underneath dressers, clearly visible. The floor was sticky in one area. Gaming was fun and the slots were a give and take. Room service was very very fast and efficient!!! I wish they would have more restaurants to choose from. The convenience store wasn't located at the top of the hill . Very inconvenient. There was an empty space where the convenience store must have been located previously in central tower. Doesn't seem cost-effective.

I will never set foot in a Ceasars property ever again. I was discriminated because I am Mexican American with a platinum rewards card (almost 💎. ) I earned this status in 3 weeks. First and only time I used the card to get a discount on a souvenir cup. Lady at the counter embarrassed me around other people. She accused me of trying to get a $3 discount that I didn't deserve because she said she didn't believe I had that kind of status. I showed her my card and ID. She was very rude and condescending. I walked out of there feeling like I was accused of robbing the place. It's sad that you have people like this working for you. I will spend my money and time at other casinos. Worst experience ever!

Visited at the beginning of May for my Birthday. I had a wonderful time. The location is great, not on the boardwalk but just a boat ride away. The hotel beach and pools were clean, Relaxing, and plenty employees who were helpful.The room had 2 good beds, both firm, plenty of pillows, and soft bedding. Had a river view and it was exactly what I wanted to wake up to.Thank you Harrahs!

My family and I stayed here for 1 night due to an event being nearby and we were split up into 5-6 rooms on different floors and towers and we all had similar issues with our rooms. My wife and I had a 1 King bedroom in the North Tower and at first look the room is nice but once we actually got settled in we immediately noticed a handful of problems.Firstly the space where the “included refrigerator” was completely empty. There was no fridge. The bed frame was split into 2 platforms to support each side of the mattress but 1 side was caved in so the bed was completely lopsided and it made for an extremely uncomfortable night of sleep. There were 0 towels when we got in the room so we had to call housekeeping to give us towels and they didn’t even give us enough towels even though we asked for a specific amount.After using the bathroom sink for just washing our hands the drain completely stopped draining so we ended up having to use the shower for washing our hands and brushing our teeth because staring at sitting water in the sink was disgusting. There was still hair on the shower walls from previous guests. Our AC was barely working and apparently that was an issue with our other family members’ rooms as well. The door to the bathroom was crooked so you had to physically push/pull the door to get it to open or close.We sucked it up just because we were there for 1 night but I can guarantee I will never stay here ever again due to the horrible conditions.On the plus side the staff was very friendly and the casino floor does have nice inclusions like an arcade and a Smash Burger.It was cheap for 1 night so I guess you get what you pay for.

Did a bit of slot playing on Christmas Day before and after dinner at the Range Steakhouse. Not a good day for me on the slots watched other people play. Everyone was pleasant and in good moods. The Casino has a non smoking section, thank goodness! Smokers do have rights as well, I just find it hard to breathe in some casinos. The casino is clean and well managed! Masks are worn everywhere by everyone. I am on board with that! Mandated in Nevada. It was a great day.

Great get-away! We took the charter down and had a very enjoyable time. Our room was on 6th floor of the South Tower - The room had chaise lounge, table and chair and a king bed, coffee maker, mini fridge and it looked like it was recently updated, everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and the casino does have a non smoking section. The mattress was very firm but we adjusted. The is a shuttle that takes you to the Tropicana which is walking distance to the other casinos. The only negative was the lack of food choices and shopping. We will definitely go back!

Before I go down the road of why I think this is worthy of only one star, I want to sing praises to the bell staff, the valet team, the cocktail servers, and the front desk team who go above and beyond to make your experience the best it can be. If these teams were in a facility that was, well, something more 21st century, the rating would be significantly higher.We traveled through this area to stay one night and even that was too much. We booked two rooms and based on the photos of the website, we thought this could be a nice hotel and a fun spot on our road trip but we were quickly disappointed. The first of our two rooms was available at 4pm but the second room wasn’t ready until after 10pm.Both rooms were in the north tower and they made a motor lodge on the Jersey Turnpike seem better. The carpet and walls look as if they were recently cleaned after a crime and the rooms felt dirty.No dresser, no fridge, and only one chair made the room uncomfortable and quite awkward… again, nothing like it appears on their website.For $59 a night, it would be acceptable, but not for over $200 a night.Other challenges:- 3 of the 5 elevators were out of service.- Boat dock was destroyed so no water taxi to other casinos.Given the amount of disrepair of this resort, it makes one wonder if Caesar himself lost a bet to put their name on.Again, if this staff was at a better facility, they could put the competition out of business

This is a dump!!! Shame on Harrah’s, this is NOT a resort! Dog fee of 85.00 for a small dog is absurd, when room rate advertised at 30.00. The placed smelled, and everything is old and the stench of cigarettes is nauseating. Forget eating at the cafe. Waiter was rude and unhelpful. The beef dip sandwich was dry and tasteless. Pizza kiosk was closed as well as Starbucks. This place should be leveled. Would not go back if it was free.

Same story as everyone else. Have been here 10 times over the last 25 years and loved it. Checked in early last week for 3 nights. The first room had not been cleaned by housekeeping, the second room had filthy furniture and a broken table, and the third room had furniture missing and smelled like urine. Heard it was taking 40 minutes to get a filthy elevator ride in the north tower. We gave up after that and checked out. Were told we would be refunded within 3-4 days, but after 11, we have not been yet. Too bad, it was always the best place to stay, although we did have a nice place at Aquarius a couple of trips ago. Other than that, most of the places are mediocre at best. We did however, end up at the Golden Nugget this trip for one night, and it was okay. Looking forward to the AI response to this. Bottom line, Laughlin is a beautiful place, but the companies running the hotels are destroying it.

Everything about this place screams family friendly. The staff is amazing. The grounds are top shape as it’s going to be for the age of the property. Restaurants are on point the suite is great and updated wonderfully and definitely enjoy the private beach and the two separate pools. I always recommend my friends and family to stay here

I love Harrah's and have been going there for a very long time. We were there a few weeks ago and I was shocked at how rundown the elevators and rooms have gotten. Our room was in pretty bad shape and we were in the central tower. Next time we go, we will stay in the south tower to get a renovated room. The curtains were torn in our room and the shower faucet was badly corroded. The bed was comfortable though. There were marks all over the walls and it still had that oversized wall unit from nearly 20 years ago. The elevators in the central tower were not in good shape and when you pressed a button, the entire section attached to the wall nearly came open. But like I said, I do love it here. The casino is good and The Beach Cafe is always wonderful. I just wish Caesar's would put some money into this place to return it fully to its former glory. We will be back - we will just try to avoid the dilapidated towers.

Changed 3 rooms checking in. Try not to be in center tower. Rooms are way out dated, stink, dirty, and the bathrooms are a big wow. Being in service industry i would be embarrassed. Male at front desk was amazing. It is a good thing I don't have 3rd degree burns from the shower that can't be controlled. I was on 2 different floors and same story in the entire tower.

So we received a free 4 day trip and as the saying goes "you get what you pay for!" The 29th we checked in and went up to our room in the central tower. Went in and noticed that the mattress looked and felt like it had been there since day one! The black out curtain had what looked like knife slits in it and there were cobwebs in the corners. Overall it just felt dirty. We went back down to the front desk and the lady there was very apologetic and gave us a room in the south tower. Aside from cobwebs on top of a couple lamp shades it was much nicer. Went to get a $4 soda from the vending machine and it ate my money and got nothing in return. Made me want to go down and play there slots!!! LOL Tuesday we rented a car to drive down to Vegas "never been there before" While we were up in our room getting ready and waiting for our rental without warning the fire alarm goes off! "the speaker was in our room" We went downstairs and asked security what was wrong and he told us they were testing the system but didn't know how long it would last. After about an hour it finally stopped. We went back up to our room to get ready for the day and was never so glad to leave! Had a great time in Vegas and got back to our room and to bed around 4am Wednesday. Got woke up around 8:30 Wednesday morning from a text telling us that the water was going to be shut off around 11 for a couple of hours. So much for sleeping in. We took our showers got in our rental and left to go elsewhere. Came back went to bed and got up Thursday morning and decided to pay for another day on the rental. Headed downstairs to get some donuts and coffee. While walking down the hallway talking about what we were going to do for the day and looking around except at the ground, my fiancee tripped and fell over a hose coming in from outside into Smash Burgers! NICE!! "The only thing hurt was her pride" The truck said septic service on the side so who knows?? We spent the remainder of our last short day patronizing the other casinos because we knew we had to get up at 3am to make sure we would be able to use the bathroom before leaving for our flight. The only positive thing to say is the staff at the hotel were very polite as were the employees for Sun Country!!! Thank you for the computer generated response! Considering that everything I stated could be verified, we expected a little more then your generic response considering what we went through!!

Apr 2024 • CouplesWe have stayed here many times in years past.But, haven't been here in about 15 years. I know Covid disrupted the hospitality business. But, this place has really gone down hill. Supposedly, we were in a renovated room...It was disgusting!Bathroom floor was tiled with wall tiles! Extremely dangerous and extremely unsafe when wet(the person that did this was an idiot). The corners of the bed were torn up by a dog/housekeeping. The HVAC was loud, didn't appear to have a filter in place and looked alive with all the grey fuzzies on it. Looking out our window there were parts of the building/walls that had eroded away. Roof tiles were sliding off the roof. I'm just getting started here!!Elevators in the garage and hotel are disgusting and show a lack of preventative maintenance and care.I could go on and on! Some employees/workers appeared and acted overwhelmed/overworked.I will never again book a room/multiple rooms at this place again.Most importantly though, the bathroom is UNSAFE with the type of tile used on the floor.

Who knows if the machines are looser, but we still had a great time.***ATTENTION***July is EXTREMELY hard, so be prepared. You need water shoes or sandals! Sunscreen! And hydrate!Beach access (the water is so refreshing). It's a really good-sized area. Watch the hot sand.The adult pool was under maintenance, which overcrowded the family pool.Rooms could use an updating and be aware... heat rises (those top floors get pretty warm in that desert heat).I'd recommend $25 daily water taxi passes. This basically covers the entire side of the river. Unlimited rides, so after 5 rides, it's pays for itself.Jet skis are also available for rent near the Beach area.

I had stayed here once about 10 years ago. It appears to have been refreshed since my last visit. We thought that the staff were friendly. The hotel room was clean. The restaurant choices were good and the prices were very fair. Payouts for reasonable on the slot machines. Too bad that they allow smoking. That was the only real drawback. Many other options are available for your entertainment including the Colorado River. If you want a great experience go here for a week

Harrah's Laughlin seems to have lost some of its beauty inside over the last few years. Table games cost more than other places to play and they got rid of the non smoking table games all together. Lots of slots if that's your thing. I do like the Beach Cafe inside and the view from the outside patio. They have the only access to a beach (if you're staying here) and they keep the area clean. Water taxi will get you to other casinos. Rooms are okay. Arcade for kids (why would you bring them though?). Some snacky food places as well as a Guy Fiery's (sp?) place. It's only okay.

We stayed two nights, three days in June 2024. Our 4-person room was tight, but typical for a hotel room layout. Day one, wife in shower, water shuts off suddenly. Called front desk, said construction needed to shut it off. No sink, no toilet, no warning. Three hours later, water back on (see the pix of the disgusting water supplied). Day two, no water again. Called and insisted on another room. Talked to manager who stated "nobody told me there were any problems." Packed everything up, moved into another tower room (which was a PITA for 4 people - one disabled) for the second night. On a positive note; nice private river/beach access.

Chip W — Google review

Absolutely horrible. Stayed before but much worse this time. 7/24 was over sold and almost all elevators were not working? We waited in long lines but going down was worse, sometimes 40 minutes? All guests were upset. Also, only a few bathrooms and most were closed? Our room was missing the coffee maker, the ice bucket and the air barely worked. Most important, being stuck on your floor for long periods waiting to get down? Almost feels like 9/11? Scary place and the sewage odor doesn't help matters in some places.

Danny — Google review

My friend and I had a wonderful 4 days. The only things I would suggest is there should be more seating for the kiosk eating facilities. The frozen yogurt with fruit parfait is wonderful, however; there is no place to sit to enjoy it. Same is for the pizza place.. Just grab and go. The selection of slots was good. The pork chop special at the Beach Cafe was disappointing. Mine was very thin and mostly bone or gristle. Our rooms were very nice, clean and accommodating. I'll look forward to my next visit.

Nancy T — Google review

In room. There was No drinking water, microwave or safe in room. The vending machine has bottled water for $4! Needs renovation. The bed was super comfy with four pillows your choice of down or foam. Great river views. Not part of Riverwalk. Great value at 59$ a night mid week, with a 20$ resort fee. You have to drive or shuttle to the other casinos. I prefer something centrally located. But for $79 per night, it was worth it to me.

This is an older property, but it's fairly well maintained. Some rooms could use an update, I come here with my Caesars Rewards flight / hotel offers. It's laid out kindof funny, and takes a little bit to get used to navigating. I like coming here, and their casino floor hss updated slots. The beach area is beautiful, with access to the water taxi. I love the landscaping, it really is awesome. I will say it's somewhat hard to walk in the sand to the water's edge. It's steep, and you sink down in the sand, making it hard to walk in.

This casino is a lot of fun. It's clean, smells nice and the staff are amazing. We will definitely be coming back here. The restaurants are delicious and the store has a nice variety of items/gifts. Most of all, there is a nice selection of games to play!

The room we stayed in was outdated. The bed was comfortable. There was a decent selection of channels to watch television. The front desk staff was fantastic. They did need more valet attendants during our stay. Nice quiet location. Food selections are limited but everywhere we ate the food was decent. There is an arcade. The price per game is high but there is enough to entertain kids for a day. Reminded me of Chuck E Cheese.

My room was sparkling clean and I appreciate that smoking rooms are still offered. Andrew at the Chances bar is one of the best bartenders I have ever had, and I returned the next day specifically to see him. The casino could use a larger variety of slot machines, but overall it was nice. I will absolutely stay again!

Nice enough little casino in a place that’s warmer than the Midwest. The gaming floor has limited table games. But, they have a fairly large slot section.Rooms are pretty nice. The shower however is a really stupid design. It’s pretty much guaranteed to get waterall over the bathroom floor.Mattress is comfortable. Good pillows also.Above average gym facility for a hotel. Dumbbells up through 75lbs.

Todd — Google review

They offered a good rate as we were passing through. So we decided to give him a try.Rather than booking the cheapest room possible, we upgraded a bit and asked 4 with a view.During the day ,it has an awesome view. But at night, the large lights that light the exterior of the building shine through the window, and you are blinded if you attempt to look out the window.We asked management why they offered this as a view room and got a nonplussed answer and no offer for a room change.My only other complaint was a decent hotel buy decent toilet paper, Not the cheapest, harsh, single plytoilet paper they can buy.!!!My wife's attempt at their slot machine proved to be a waste of time as her forty dollars disappeared without almost any small wins.Not a bad deal, but it's not the best one being offered at laughlin for the money.

Richard F — Google review

Starting with the good, the property itself is great. The beach is off the hook, the pools are nice, the casino is massive, the arcade is actually very good and there’s lots of good restaurants and bars to chose from. Parking is plentiful and the rooms/beds were clean. Unfortunately, the staff leaves much to be desired..I booked a single king room a month in advance, when I arrived they told me “there were no king rooms available, so I would be ‘upgraded’ to a double queen room. Well, the ‘double queen upgrade’ was just a standard double full on the second floor right next to the main entrance where you have no privacy and hear people hollering outside your window all day & night. We requested a drain stop for the bath tub, do not disturb sign and more towels at 6:00 pm and they never came, but we did get a housekeeper knocking on the door at 6:00 AM which was an early wake up call. This hotel has potential to be the best in Laughlin, but they need to get some issues ironed out.

Bad experience, for rooms to be remodeled was bad, Ac did not cool the room down. Shower took for ever for Hot water, second it got clogged from I’m not sure what since we used it one time and water would not go down. Pool was dirty needs better maintenance, trash band aids did it for our family never going back. The river is close by that was great rent a jet ski and have a blast.

We got in very late and even though we said non-smoking room, our first room was smoking in the South tower. We went back to the front desk and got a non-smoking room in the North tower. The room was ok, but the shower wall was peeling.

In short this hotel should be condemned. And perhaps they've already started with the work they're doing on one of the towers which started before 7am. Stayed there with family and friends early May and was severely disappointed. I used to travel here from Colorado on a regular place and Harrah's was the place to be and the nicest on the strip. How far they've fallen. Rooms were filthy with questionable stains on the furniture, blatant rot in the bathrooms, and the rooms were never serviced for anyone in our group that stayed. There's supposed to be an adults pool. But kids were openly splashing around in it with zero enforcement.What really brings it home is the employees are even vocally expressing the same frustrations to the guests. Wow.We spent the majority of our time at other not to be mentioned hotels on the strip. I suspect everyone else is doing the same based on most of the restaurants being closed during the week at Harrah's. And it's not the area. The other hotels were hopping.Very sad.

Robert B — Google review

I upgraded to a suite which was spacious and comfortable and had an awesome view of the pool as well as the river. However they hadn't been updated since the 80s? The keys in the tub didn't work and the shower water took about ten minutes to warm up. At one point the water was turned off while my sister was brushing her teeth, with no warning. At least no one was soaped up in the shower! The restaurants were often closed or no one was at the counter. But I did have the best yoghurt parfait ever! The gambling was fun but no winner here! And the drink service was better than other casinos on the strip! The water taxi was only $5.00 and very convenient!

We came for our early summer vacation with the family, and for our first time here, we loved it! We stayed at the north tower, which they are undergoing renovations at the time. The rooms were clean, and the beds and pillows were so comfortable. The family pool gets pretty packed in the afternoon, but it is good enough for the kiddos. We loved that the casino provides you with beach towels, too. The beach, oh my God, AMAZING 😍 We loved it so much, but make sure you have sandals on or else the sand with burn your feet! The drinks were FABULOUS 🤪 Frozen margaritas had us feeling like it was 5 pm somewhere 😂 We did have a few issues, our smoke alarm kept going off either randomly or when we would shower with hot water. Thankfully, the staff was very helpful. By the way, the staff is so amazing they treated us so well 🥹 We booked a riverview room but were located on the side of the building. We could kind of see the river, but mostly all the junk from the renovation 🥲 it kinda did suck because we did pay extra for that view however, the night view of the other casinos was pretty nice. Also, there are no ice machines due to renovation below level 9 or above. We had to go all the way up to level 17 to get ice 😮‍💨 We also wished they had a more different variety of restaurants, most open late like around 4 pm, and basically all are sit in. The Cafe, however, did have an amazing Philly cheesesteak 🤤 The arcade was great, but it is a bit on the expensive side 😬 All in all, we are definitely coming back next year, This place is amazing, especially if you have kids.

All elevators had a muggy smell, no air flow very stuffy .The second room North tower (19fl) newly remodeled to be ready at 5:00 pm the coffee bar sink and one bathroom sink had no water , no tv remotes and door lock broken both inside and outside. . I reported issues to manager and security was requested to address our issues 40 mins past still no security . We had to cancel husband bday dinner 7:00 pm reservations at The Range steakhouse since we had no second room yet .Finally , we’re moved to different room in same (19fl) . No tv remotes, fridge never plugged and never cooled , scorching shower water with zero cold water and the entire 19th floor had no ice machines .Very disappointed and will never visit Harrah’s Laughlin again!! There are other great hotels and casinos in Laughlin to visit with better service and accommodations .Diane Peru

Old hotel need to be renovated, the check in is hard even we already online check in before and we still need to check on again so whats the point to do online check-in? The room is old, AC not working, we call and they say they will repair but still not cold. We stay 2 night here. The good things is they have private beach but far from everywhere.

***BE WARNED**Read this review and others. There are common threads that should be enough to keep you away***Also interesting that ownership only responds to "positive" comments and never address the "negative" reviews. I also believe the positive reviews are fabricated because they don't match up with other reviews******************Vici Properties and Caesar's Entertainment have to be embarrassed by this place? I'm really surprised because it is such a big brand. My guess is this place and Laughlin as a whole has taken a huge hit following Covid. Our rooms were comped (free) and now I know why. Even being free, we ended up leaving after one night and returning home. When you walk in, the place has a "smell" and a "vibe" that is not good. It is run down and not well taken care of. The sink in our room was backed up. We talked to someone at the gaming table and they had to be changed out of rooms 3 times because of this. We had a smoke detector that was beeping because the battery was low. I am sure this is against code! We reported it to the front desk and it never got fixed. It kept us up all night. The bed also sagged causing back pain. The furniture was beat up. My wife was not happy about there being no hair dryer. We did have a good view of the river. We were in the North tower on the 6th floor. The shower pressure was good. If you are looking for a place to lay your head after a night of drinking and gambling, maybe this could be OK at best. BUT if you are looking for a resort type of stay, don't come here. The gambling at tables was also just OK. Dealers seemed to hate their lives. This place was a 1 out of 5 stars at best.

I’m sorry but I have to complain because the smell of mildew gave me a headache and allergies. My room was comped which is why I feel bad writing a negative review. I stayed in the room with my son 10704. You can see the mildew in the shower and around the sink rim. They have 1/2 a shower door so the water was all over the floor. Why?I did write a complaint to the property owners as well. Things have really changed over the years. We always stayed here on our way to NM. My stay in the north side a few days ago was different. But this room was worse. No need to send the generic response cause it only means you don’t read our comments. Thank you,

Entry was free if you have a players card. Also children under 18 get in for free. Otherwise it was $3.50 for entry. Lots of vert beautiful cars on display, some of which were marked for sale. The lady at the gift shop said that for the right price most of them could be purchased. There was also a lot of vintage memorabilia from trophy truck racing to ww2 items. Very clean with outstanding staff eager to talk to you about these awesome cars. Highly recommend especially if you have or get a players card which is also free.

Truly a 3-star hotel. We stayed in Executive Suite - the most expensive room in this hotel. The room itself is pretty big but that’s the only thing that is good. Everything in the room is very outdated. Air vents are dirty and looks like there is mold on them. Bottom part of the furniture has a thick layer of dust. Every morning we got a back pain from the mattress and rock hard pillows. Couldn’t sleep half of the night. The sound insulation between the room is very poor. Every morning at 6am I could hear our neighbors talk in their room. Room has a balcony that has no chairs to sit on - useless. For 2 people we got 1 small soap bar and 1 small body lotion tube. No shampoo and no toothpaste. That’s in Executive Suite, rates are double compare to a regular room.I gave it a 3 star and not 1 star because I realize it’s a 3-Star hotel and I can’t expect a 5 star service. But with few minor improvements they can make this hotel so much better.

Love this place. I visit every time I go back to Laughlin and I always try to stay at the Riverside - it’s the OG spot for sure. Sometimes the cars change, but a lot of the old ones are still there. My fav is always the Delorean (pictured), and I think the family of Don Laughlin (RIP) has done a good job keeping this place looking nice. I have so many memories of my parents taking me there in the 1980s. Love this place.

A car museum like no other. This is the place to be if you enjoy looking at antique cars. The large collection of these vehicles is unbeatable given how rare some of them are. Entrance admission at the museum is free for anyone under the age of 18, and adults (18+) if they have a player's card. Otherwise, it is only three dollars per adult. Reservations are not needed, as staff work very quickly to get people in. The museum is quite large and takes about half an hour to an hour to see all the cars they have on display. Overall, highly recommend visiting.

There are two separate car exhibits at this casino. May the odds be ever in your favor if you’re meeting up there. Both are 5 star so you won’t be disappointed. The gift shops fun with lots of options. There are lots to look at besides the cars if the cars are not your favorite. It’s definitely a well rounded place. Well organized, clean bathrooms in the gift shop area, quiet area, friendly staff. It’s a nice place for a date or just to get away from the casino crowd for a bit. Reasonable cost, no line, amazing collection!

Really awesome trail! Did the whole thing in a loop this morning. I was disappointed to discover a homeless encampment near the picnic shelters on the river on the west side as I was exploring with my dog. Not exactly ideal near kids playground and picnic shelters. The trail through the city side and over the bridge isn't very fun, if I were to do it again I might just do it in reverse back instead of going through the traffic side.

What a wonderful park and trail system for local residents and tourists alike! We visited the area twice yesterday. We drove down near the dam and walked up to the dam itself and down along the River. There is a great playground and easy river access. Later in the day I walked our energetic German Shepherd up the Davis Dam Overlook trail from Davis Campground for a nice 4 mile hike. There are a number of trails with different access points, water and restroom facilities. Each of the trailhead/parking lots appears to have an onsite host/employee residing in an RV. The trails are well maintained and marked. There are story boards explaining the trail system, history, the river and the dam. Her are also large maps of the trail system in numerous locations along the route.

Excellent place at Camp Davis , you pay 20 per person , kids are free. They have clean bathrooms, showers and the shore is perfectly accessible. Water is clean and atmosphere is amazing!

Good park to have a picnic or ride along the Colorado River on your electric bike or hike along the walking trails to Davis dam.

Shirley H — Google review

Beautiful trails that take you through the AZ/NV desert! After hiking the trails my personal favorite was the Desert Trail while my least favorite was the High Desert Trail. The former is the longest of the trails, but I find the hike very peaceful. The latter is missing proper signage and can be mistaken for other unmarked trails. For beginners or those with fur friends the Riverwalk trail, Davis Dam Trail, and Davis Camp Trail are paved. ☺️

Stopped by the South Beach on a Monday afternoon, it was empty, all areas looked clean and well taken care of/maintained. The water was ice cold and felt very peaceful since no one was around. Completely open parking space - we are definitely coming back!

Tanya S — Google review

This was a great walkAbout a 2 mile walk to the park directly across from the dam. Flat paved path asking the river as well as a dirt/gravel path for horses.Restrooms at both ends and water fountains and covered shade areas every mile or less.People fishing, walking, swimming, and enjoying the views.

Great easy trail. An out and back trail along the river. Nice views. Well maintained. Parking lot has restrooms and water. Water available along the trail. Even pet water fountains. Numerous shelters for lunch/picnics or just hanging.

Nature & Parks

Bodies of Water

Lake Mohave is a picturesque reservoir located on the Colorado River that offers a variety of recreational activities such as swimming, skiing, scuba diving, boating and fishing. It's known to be one of the hottest places in the United States so visitors are advised to bring plenty of sunblock. Despite this, it's a great spot for picnics and taking a refreshing dip in the river. Many have enjoyed their time here including families who come during spring break.

It’s a nice stopover. Probably the coolest place in the canyons to take a dip in the Colorado river. You can spend the entire day here- it’s that pic-nicy spot.

Lake Mohave is the ultimate summer paradise in the middle of the desolate American southwest! This reservoir, almost 70 miles long, is accessible via multiple public marinas and is an amazing place to boat, jet ski, kayak, swim, and explore the waters! When we visited, we rented a boat and jet ski out of Katherine’s Landing on the Arizona side, and we boated all around all day - it was so much fun! It was the peak of summer and about 120 degrees - it gets HOT here, so be sure to bring plenty of water and use sunscreen!!On hot summer days you can expect this lake to be packed with boaters and jet skiers everywhere. You have to be observant when driving because some jet skiers like to get really close to boats and accidents can happen. This is why we sought out a quiet part of the lake away from everyone else where we could enjoy it in all its glory! Not too far from Katherine’s Landing, on the western side of the side, we found some awesome coves that had no people. If you search “Roman Cove” on Google Maps Satellite view, and look at the small cove directly south of it, that’s the one we went to and were there for over 2 hours with no signs of any other people. I am sure there could be better spots on the lake, but this was a great location! No waves, quiet, and a perfect place to bring your family!The water is extremely warm in the summer months, but still quite refreshing when it’s well over 100 degrees. Again, remember, bring water and sunscreen (and food so you don’t have to go back to a marina to eat). I highly recommend coming to the lake if you’re in the area because nothing compares to it! Go to a place like Katherine’s Landing, rent a boat or jet ski, and have fun!!

Very fun, water is great, weather is damn hot but then again it is AZ so you either deal with it or stay home & watch soap operas.....

Jessie C — Google review

Always a fun place to get some sun, relax with a few beers and do some swimming or boating. It was a perfect combo of 100° heat, a cool breeze and really cold water where it felt great while being in the water but nice on the beach as well. I come out here usually twice a year and enjoy it everytime.

J R — Google review

lake mohave is awesome. been there for two summer family vacations. this is by far the HOTTEST place I ever been to here in the states. BRING LOTS, LOTS, and LOTS of Sun Block. trust me. you'll be glad you did at the end of the night.

Antonio ( — Google review

Wonderful if you go down the road another spot away from the main one where there is camping and most of the gross people.Trash is everywhere because people are disgusting and lazy. That's just how it is but aside from that it's really pretty. Very very hot during the summer.

Anthony L — Google review

I go to Lake Mohave quite often. Most of the time to fish. It's a great place to take the family and spend the day cruising around in the boat, jet skiing or just lounging in one of the many nice coves or beaches. The water is colder than the lake but nice and clean and crystal clear.

Jorge T — Google review

Gotta be honest, great place, loved the experience of going there. Great waters, cool-looking rocks, good parking, little rough of a drive, but that's not really all that bad. There were also some great jumping spots, and climbing up the hill offers a great view. Now that said, I do have just two things to say: one, it'd be nice to have some changing stations, and two, I'm a minor, and there were some naked women on that beach, did NOT enjoy that part, otherwise a great beach!

Captincool 3 — Google review

We went kayaking on the river there and it was absolutely spectacular. The views were amazing, the history was really cool to learn about. Our tour guid was amazing and we will definitely be going back. Emerald Cave was really cool. The water was so clear and clean. The water was freezing but that was to be expected since it is snow melt. We had lunch on the side of the rocks and it was perfect. Kayaking was a little difficult but we managed and had a great time! I wouldn’t take kids kayaking unless they are experienced. We saw about 3 kids flip and the water is freezing.

Chaleah G — Google review

Great place to get out to. Just be aware that there is nothing out here for services. So bring water and food if needed. Make sure you have gas. If you bring it pack it out with you, trash, water bottles, etc. Let's keep this place clean for everyone. Be aware of snakes and other things. They were there first.

A really nice place to kayak. Even on a hot day, the water stays nice, cold, and refreshing. The water is also very clear.

Eva — Google review

This is such a beautiful lake! I keep my boat nearby and go there often with friends and family. The water temperature is very comfortable for swimming right now and the air temperature is around 115° during the day. The trick is to wear a cotton t-shirt and go in the water often with the shirt on and use it as a cooling device

Jerry C — Google review

The first time our family visited here. Nest and fresh air but no bright day!We saw the cows but missing the photo,only in my honey memory.Road may flood.

Mill J — Google review

A great place to be in the desert! So close to Laughlin. The shallow & natural temperature water is the best part for family with kids like mine. Only few minutes drive from main riverside hotels. The entrance fee is a cool offer.. for a single car $20 for 7 day pass & $44 for whole year! Also this place has several shores/beach some are specify for boats only. Best place to camp, have picnics, swim, dive, ride boats & water jet, but over all get lost from streets and have fun with your love ones. But be careful! Summer could be real hot!

Ghost Towns

Nelson Ghost Town is an abandoned gold mine that offers tours and features restored buildings with retro signs, photos, and relics. It has become a popular spot for Vegas destination weddings due to its unique and picturesque backdrop. The town showcases crashed airplanes, custom automobiles, mining equipment, skulls, and even some unusual surprises in the freezer. Visitors can explore the area for a small fee and may even catch a glimpse of the guest rooms.

What a cool experience for our4 kids and ourselves. The owners are very polite and straight to the point. We respected them and their property / belongings and had no problem. They only charge $2 per person and they could ask for more, we refused our change to give back to them. . Cute little gift shop and cold beverages. We were informed to not touch the cactus and saw pics / stories of what happens when you do. Overall I recommend taking the drive out there and visiting this beautiful location. Drive down the road past them for a beautiful scenic route.

Tyne H — Google review

An absolute must! This tour felt like an attraction at Disneyland. The mine is so well looked after and the team on site is very interesting and knowledgeable. A great family trip and of course, beautiful property with lots of chances to take awesome pictures. We will definitely go again!

Tresca R — Google review

You really need to visit thie place. The price is 1$ adult/hour. The owners are very friendly and funny and they will tell you about the history of the place. They also have an album with the celebrities that visited/filmed in that place.You can also go to the Colorado River because it s only 5 miles away and take a bath because the water is warm.P.S. They have snakes in the freezer.

Worth the 45 minute drive from Vegas whether you are a local or visiting. The owner/manager is a great guy very kind. Beautiful views at the lake as well! He has lots of cool vintage cars and antiques to see!

We got married in October of 21. This was the perfect setting for our wedding. The owner was very personable, shared the history of the little town and even cracked a few jokes. He was very accommodating and I would highly recommend this venue.💛

Dar W — Google review

Pretty neat place to visit. There were lots of interesting antiques. Our kids are a fan and asked lots of good questions about the history of the place.You have to check in at the front before walking around the area.P.s if you drive about 5 miles further, you get to see part of the Colorado review.

Ednalyna M — Google review

What can I say. The owners have gone above and beyond to make history come to life! From the crashed airplanes to the custom automobiles, they have a plethora of mining equipment. They have found several skulls and even an alien or two. Be sure to open the freezer for a real surprise☆The tour only operates with 4 adults for $15 each. You can look around all you want for only $1 . Well worth it.They allow you to peek in on their guest rooms, but be cautious when you do, as they may have company.Ask a million questions and get a million and one answers. Recommend 98.9%

What a wonderful glimpse back in time. The collection of memorabilia is encredible. Make the trip, you won't regret it. Fill your tank up and bring water, it's hot.

Wild West Goldmine Town preserved! Awesome desert ride too. (only about 45min from the Flamingo)This town dates back to the 1700's, amazing! Now it's a ghost town...Lots a cool relics just sitting in there place. Some are used in movie shots too.We were pleasantly surprised at how a "City of Gold" would look way back when the Spaniards first settled here.You can browse the property for a couple dollar fee on your own or take a tour and go deep into the history here and/or even go down into the old mind tunnels... up to you.

David S — Google review

Going to Nelson Ghost Town was beautiful. The owners are so friendly. I bought a few things from the gift shop. I truly enjoyed the large collection they had. It is $1 if you would like to go explore on your own. Like in any historical location, please be mindful & respectful of this place. Looking at all the cars, I was wondering what stories they hold? What life they had? I had a great time with my family. Thank you.

Sarah R — Google review

Nelson's Ghost Town is such a great little tourist spot! Friendly residents and a rich history. Next time I will come earlier for the tour.I really had such a great time! I went as a kid but didn't remember much from that first visit. I only had time to take some pictures before sunset but I will definitely be back for the full experience!P.s. If you pay for the photographer rate you may get access to CERTAIN restricted areas. ($10/hr)

A wonderful day trip from Vegas. The front desk & gift shop are real Awesome folks that get straight to the point. No taken advantage of tourist here. Real down to earth. Very walkable & you can bring your dog too. Good Mexican food available in a food truck, really convenient. Everyone should try this place. Truly Amazing🤩

Had a blast exploring Nelson with my hubby. It is a nice little stop off the beaten path. It cost us a dollar each to explore and take some photos. I wasn't to sure all that was out there so I wasn't fully prepared for all the amazing photo opportunities. There is something for everyone. It has a great rustic feel. Who doesn't love old cars and cacti. I cannot wait to go back and get more amazing photos and do the mine tour. I highly recommend this stop.

Fidele M — Google review

Very cool place to visit. Not necessarily a ghost town, but had a lot of old school vehicles and buildings, and things of that sort.There was also options for doing gold mine tour and museum.Only ask for $1, if you plan to stay more than 15 min. We just donated some money because they were very kind and it's cool to have these things around in the long run.

Ms C — Google review

Incredible experience!! Small fee for photographers but it was absolutely reasonable per hour. We were even able to tour some “hidden”/closed off to the public spots! We sped through and we were able to hit most spots before the hour was up. Definitely a little toasty, even in April so bring plenty of water (and deodorant lol).

Ciara L — Google review

After reading the negative reviews I’m wondering what’s wrong with people?!This place is absolutely amazing and well put together ghost town.When you arrive you will see clear signs what you have to do and maybe a bit straightforward BUT it is for a reason.I was walking towards the shop to check in when a guy comes out asking what do you want? 😂 I was like checkin as the sign says. He said it’s $1 per person to take photos with your phone or $10 for professional cameras.We paid $10 for 3 of us. Which is super cheap.He told us where to go, when he closes etc and we went around quickly as we had 1 hour only before it closes. You need more time than 1 hour however we managed and we had so much fun.Before we left we got some drinks and talked to the owner who was super helpful and friendly. He recommended to watch the sunset from the river down the road. We went there and it was absolutely breathtaking.Can not recommend this place enough. Must visit if you are in Las Vegas.

Monika V — Google review

Really fun place to visit outside of Las Vegas. It's basically free unless you want to stay for a long time or book for an event. Some people have their weddings there.

Christopher T — Google review

Been here in 2011 and returned in 2024. A lot has changed, the hidden gem is a way more touristic these days but still a must see when around Las Vegas. It definitely gives you a sense of desert americana. Oh and Bruce is a real gentleman welcoming you.

Victor C — Google review

My husband found the Nelson ghost town on social media and we decided that we were going to go check it out.It's only about a 35 minute drive from Las Vegas and it's easy to get to.Unfortunately some of the places there and some of the buildings are no longer accessible to the public due to the damage that the visitors had done to the property and there are signs up showing you which ones you can go in and which ones you cannot.It does not cost to go out and walk around the main area where the vehicles are right by the store but it does cost to go across the road to the other area.We did not do the mind tour but I did hear the gentleman on the phone and he recommended to that person to buy tickets at least a couple days in advance because they sell out so quick.I would definitely recommend this place for families or couples alike.

Jami T — Google review

We stumbled upon this place on our first day in Vegas. It’s about 45 out from town, but well worth the visit. The owners are super nice and full of great information.It’s practically free as the owners charge $1 per person and there is so much to see. You can also purchase snacks and beverages.Once you’re done exploring, don’t be afraid to venture onward to the Colorado River overlook. It’s about 5 miles down and a hidden gem!!!

Johnny G — Google review

a must-see place! A huge collection of vintage cars and things from centuries ago with an indescribable atmosphere of the era! I recommend it!

Yurii M — Google review

Must see place when in Vegas, its a bit of a drive but well worth it. The area can be explored on your own risk, just make sure to check in at the store first and read the big signs. it's close after dark (5pm). Like the sign says its not Disneyland, keep your dog and kids on a leash the native cactus can be painful and there are plenty of sharp rusted parts but that's the nature of a cool ghost town.

David H — Google review

No other tourists so we walked around a bit kicking up dust, nothing caught my eye but it was neat to look at. The bathroom was most impressive, very clean and a lot better than some places I’ve had the displeasure of peeing at. If you continue driving down the road a bit, you get to the Colorado River. The water was cool and looked so refreshing, take water shoes!

Jolie N — Google review

You know when you search for one thing on the internet, you find something else that catches your interest. When you click on that site, you then find something else that grabs your attention...and so on with the bottomless pit of internet searches. That pretty much sums up how I found this place. Needless to say, this is one of those few times in life where I can appreciate being glued to the phone (internet) for a while. I called the business to ask if I can reserve a few slots for the special tour that they do (their website specifies that reserving a slot prior to arrival is required; though it felt like you could do a walk-in but will be subject to limited availability). Also, keep in mind that they require at least four people in the group (not necessarily in your group) to have a tour. So, if you only have 2 people in your group, go grab a neighbor, friend, tourist, or just hope that someone signs on, to achieve that minimum of four people concept.My family and I visited this Ghost Town on 25 May 2024. When you leave the Las Vegas/Henderson area on Southbound US-95, it is such a beautiful drive; it also helps that the roads are in great condition. As you approach the NV-165 turnoff, you're hit with a bit of skepticismbecauseit doesn't appear there's anything on this road or beyond the hills that you see. However, you trust your GPS because it's always right (isn't it?). Driving on 165 was fun; it has a bunch of windy and up and down roads. You definitely have to watch out for those recklessdrivers because it's only a 2-lane road (and watch out for your passengers with extreme motion sickness). Plus, a lot of folks are driving to and from the end of this road because there's an area to swim in the Colorado River and hang out (go check out this area after the Ghost Town). There's also a sign that instructs drivers to turn their headlights on while on this road - I highly recommend you do this for added safety.Upon arrival, you're met with ample parking around the main building/office and mostly across the street. The parking areas are unpaved so if you're wanting to keep your car tires pristine, then I suggest you bring another vehicle...otherwise, deal with it because the visit is worth it. We checked in and paid at the front office prior to our 2 pm tour start time. The prices for the tour is based on age, with no discounts offered (current as of 25 May 2024) - details below:$20 adults (13+)$12.50 (5-12)Free (under 5)I expected thisplace to be filled with tourists, but funny enough, the folks in my group consisted mostly of locals. I won't go through and explain every detail of the tour and Ghost Town because you just need to see it for yourself. Please note, if you're claustrophobic, you may want to reconsider the mining tour...but I assure you, if you can get yourself to do it, you won't regret it. I've attached several pictures to this review in hopes to entice you to visit and not for the sole purpose of ruining the surprise. Believe me, there's a lot to see in this Town. Overall, I highly recommend this business to all locals and visitors.

Went with my family and had a blast. It was pretty hot out so after taking a tour of the town, we drive about 5 miles further up the road and took a dip in the lake

Only 40 mins from Las Vegas.An old mining place.The owner/register was really nice. Sometimes you will go to these places and the staff are rude. But they were great!

岸本隆一 — Google review

Not abandoned. It is in fact owned, and they are watching you. You’re prohibited from entering the structures or wandering in certain areas. A gimmick, gift shop, and junk yard of an array of different time periods of crap thrown into a dumping area. Drive 45 minutes from Vegas to be massively disappointed. 2 stars for the funny/ fun interior of the gift shop.

Lola H — Google review

I recommend stopping by on your way from Vegas. the ghost town is located in a picturesque location. the views are impressive. I think, it's definitely worth a visit. but it seemed to me, that there was nothing special to see there. admission costs $1 and can be considered free. and the woman, who works in the store, is very nice and friendly!

Kristina M — Google review

The pictures don't do it justice! The mine tour was top notch by our guide Wade/Tony. Great conversation, the grounds are filled with old cars and buildings. For $20 we spent about 4 hours!

Stephanie K — Google review

Town of Nelson still has residents, not sure if it's really a ghost town. The Techatticup mine reconstruction is not true to the area, all items have been collected by the owners and staged. This does not mean it's not a great place to visit. Great old vehicles and buildings collected across the southwest, so there is great history behind all the collection there. Great photo ops but they have started charging.

Bf D — Google review

A true hidden gem hidden in the Eldorado Valley. Lot's to see even on the cheap self tour. Super friendly folks and an easy walk around. Good half day trip out of Vegas to get away from the crowds. Didn't have time for the mine tour which runs around 90 mins. Plan on around three or four hours to take it all in! Will definitely be back!

Jamie T — Google review

This picturesque ghost town is truly unique, unlike any other. The entire experience is so surreal and captivating, it's almost indescribable. There's an abundance of sights to behold and activities to enjoy, making it the perfect excursion for a free afternoon while in Las Vegas. While we didn't encounter any ghosts during our visit, one can't help but imagine the countless opportunities for such encounters. The drive to get here is absolutely worthwhile; it's an experience not to be missed. Plus, there are plenty of photo opportunities just waiting to be captured.

The theater production Kà by Cirque du Soleil offers an all new gravity-defying experience for audiences. The moving stage is a battleground where acrobatic stunts leave people in awe. Las Vegas is home to FIVE Cirque du Soleil productions, each with its own unique setting and style of performing arts. This is the perfect venue to entertain children and adults alike!

I'm not really into this stuff but man was it awesome! We sat in the third row and were in the thick of the action. It was a "coming of age story" with tons of action and amazing stunts. I went in with a decent buzz from tropical drinks and I was absolutely zooted from the 2 gram j we burned before going in. This made it so much more intense and I recommend maybe doing mushrooms before you go.

Sean V — Google review

This show is truly a masterpiece, and put together extremely well… me and my friend were on the edge about going to the show, with us being younger guys we weren’t sure if we would like it… we were both thoroughly impressed! The stage and theatre themselves are a show… all of the moving aspects of the stage make this show that much better! Highly recommend!

Shane B — Google review

KA is by far one of the best and most elaborate of the Cirque du Soleil shows. Even the stage is a star and comes alive, moving in ways you never thought a stage could move. The costumes, the cast, the music, the giant theater, everything is done so well, you have to see this more than once. And, yes, there are real flaming arrows being shot thru the theater. Consider doing the VIP Royal Experience for a unique, backstage, behind-the-scenes tour and meet members of the cast. Pricey, but worth it.

William B — Google review

Amazing! After seeing it I don't even know how you'd explain that experience to someone. The theatre and stage alone are an incredible piece of engineering. And the performance is jaw dropping. The skill of the performers is just amazing. I don't know how that show isn't sold out every night. We had seats in the second row which is almost too close. You will end up have to look up and behind you as they fly through the air, not that it was a bad seat or anything just a heads up.

Ryan G — Google review

Amazing show. The theater was immersive and large. I was surprised by the scale of the stage and how it was used throughout the show. I visited while in a wheelchair and the staff was very accommodating. They were helpful with assisting me inside and were all very nice. Like amazingly nice. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is going to enjoy the show. The chairs have built-in speakers for the music too.

Oh. My. God!! What an amazing show!! This is the second time I've seen it, but it was just more amazing! I love Cirque du Soleil and they never disappoint! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Paul H — Google review

I love Cirque’s shows. I think they are the best out there. KA is one of their best shows. You can get the theme of KA from google search but I want to highlight some points.Some people say KA is not good and they highlight O as a comparison. Well, O is more abstract and the perception of the show can vary. KA focuses more on a linear story that’s much simpler to understand. O is a show that you can watch multiple times and get different perceptions. KA offers some brilliant lighting, stage movements and performances that are unparalleled.

Omae S — Google review

I believe that KA is the best of the Cirque du Soleil shows. The theater in itself is absolutely breathtaking. There are no super high up seats unlike some of the other theaters, so technically there is no bad seat. We sat in row R and for the price, we were pleased with our seat location. This show is unique because the actual stage moves in ways that seem impossible. There is a storyline that you can easily follow and is about a pair of twins. We watched O last year and the whole show was a bit confusing and all over the place. We also sat in the balcony section for that specific show and I would not recommend that seating location.The costumes and performers were outstanding. The performers come off stage during certain parts of the show. Some even hang from above you doing aerial type acts. We took our 11 year old and she loved it. As a parent, I would recommend for probably age 8 and up.

Danielle W — Google review

Incredible. The artistry was insane. Such a beautiful show with a cast that was BEYOND talented. It was acrobatics, aerial, juggling, martial arts, comedy, acting, live singing, and so much more. If you have a chance to go see this show - you must. Also, the stage moves a full 360 degrees so it truly is like nothing you have seen before.A suggestion, we sat front row and it was almost too close, I would suggest something in the middle of the theatre so you can see and experience the whole spectacle without looking around.

Anthony P — Google review

KA by Cirque du Soleil has been my favorite Cirque show and I’ve seen a handful of them, well it’s tied for first with Iris (not performed anymore). I could go on and on about KA. They spent $165 million to create this show and I’m impressed!! I was on the edge of my seat the whole show, and each seat has a built-in speaker! The rotating platform and acrobatics were top notch. I want a backstage tour of this stage in MGM Grand as the actors fall what appears to be 30 feet! I’m trying to figure out when I can go to Vegas again just for KA!!

Jake H — Google review

While I haven't seen all of the Cirque shows out there, I believe this had the most expansive theatre design. From industrial looking metal towers, the cast are able to be in many different areas. The main story happens on-stage, but keep your eyes peeled for characters elsewhere! Really enjoyed this performance!

April S — Google review

Must watch it was on my watch list from very long time. Pure entertainment just do yourself a favour please do some research about the story line or else you can feel a little lost but all in all stupendous performance by all the artist hats off. If you like acrobatic stuff then this is for you.

Great Cirque du Soleil show. You are not allowed to take any pictures or videos once the show starts and they are pretty strict about it for the safety of the performers so I would deduct a star but since it is a live show and they do various stunts I can understand why they don't allow pictures or videos. I recommend sitting in section 102 for the best view or in the 100s section for the most part so you can see everything closer. The performers do go into the audience in both aisles right and left of section 102. I purchased buy one get one free tickets on the MyVegas app, and it was still about $200 for two people ($100 each). I would not pay regular price, especially to sit on the 100s section, but that is my personal choice and opinion, and yes I am frugal and always looking for a deal when I am in Vegas. Performers do not talk in English during the show, more like some sort of gibberish/noise, so you have to pay attention to body language and what is going on to fully understand and keep up with the story. During transitions of the stage, the show is kinda boring. I don't think I would go to this show again, but I would go to other Cirque du Soleil shows so I can compare in the future. Solid 4 stars but definitely room for improvement, especially during scene transitions because it's just too boring.

The worst show ever, so boring and long. Very hard to follow the plot. The fake fighting parts are monotonous and will put you to sleep after the first 10 minutes. Simply a waste of time and money. Very disappointed. Only about 15 minutes of the show is interesting and worth attention - some acrobatic tricks, suits, makeup, lights, fireworks. Such a great stage and interior atmosphere is wasted for this. I think they should forget about this story and start over from scratch. Not sure why they call this cirque du Soleil, maybe if they presented it like a theatre play it would be more honest. Not recommend

Reservations, anyone! Indeed, if you want to go and see a show, this is the one to see. It is filled with moments of suspense and comedy and wonder with sprinkles of aerodynamics and pyrotechnics. It's definitely something for everyone. There should be NO CELL PHONE ACTIVITY when the show starts. They are prompt with timing, so make sure you get there on time or best if you make it there early to get seated and situated. You're going to love the show.-@According2teau 👽🦄

First time at a Cirque show, and MAN THIS WAS AMAZING!Such a beautiful experience. The ambiance, stage movement, costumes, music, lighting, performance - everything!People moving everywhere from everywhere doing seemingly impossible stunts - just so good!No words were said at all, by the setup and artists expressed it all.Not too expensive a show either compared to some others, but this is definitely worth it! I could recommend it more.A long show, but we didn't realize how fast the time passed.

Great variety of artists displaying unbelievable acrobatics on the stage and in the air. Breathtaking! It was over too soon. We were at the very back and enjoyed it.TIP: Get there 10 mins early. There is pre-show entertainment... It was fun.

An incredible show. I’ve seen a few Cirque du Soleil shows but this is on a different level. The moving stage (tatami) is amazing and seeing the performers utilize it was just awe inspiring. It’s definitely worth watching and more than suitable for young kids too!

Kwon — Google review

This show was not originally planned but we heard good things about it and decided to go. Great decision! The entire production keeps you memorized from the start. There is action coming from every direction and the stage basically encompasses the whole theater. I heard people say that they didn't get the story line. Read the overview before you see the show. If you pay more attention to all of the performers and forget to pay attention to the story, I guess you could get confused. For those that don't follow the story lines, don't worry. You will still be completely entertained! For those that care about story lines, read the overview. No one should walk away from this disappointed!

Ka was my first Cirque du Soleil.The staff were very kind, friendly, engaging, and quite entertaining. They were able to accommodate me to get to my seat early so big plus there.The feats of strength and ability shown was a great testament of the human body. The set work and props are stunning. True dedicated craftsmanship with passion poured into the design with meticulous care to the story. The story for all is flaws was captivating, if not a little confusing at times. Overall it's cohesive but at points during the show I was left wondering what is going here and how did we get to this particular point. Some of the story seemed it was rushed and instead of expanding knowledge of the story you are left with puzzle pieces that don't fit. You still get the picture but missing pieces to the puzzle. I would definitely go see it again, and if nothing else has encouraged me to watch more Cirque du Soleil shows.

I've been to some other Cirque du Soleil shows but really enjoyed it this one. There seem to be more of a storyline with this show than some of the others. The show had a feel of Genghis Khan meets Mad Max. The action scenes in acrobatics were very impressive and the stagecraft was amazing.

Ryan S — Google review

We really enjoyed this show. That stage is incredible and topping it off with great acrobatic performances equals a great show.We caught the late 9pm showing on a Wednesday night and the theatre was about half empty. It was a bit too warm inside the theatre.

Attending KA by Cirque du Soleil🎭 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was an absolute thrill! From start to finish, the show exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The combination of breathtaking acrobatics, captivating storytelling, and stunning visuals kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire performance.What truly impressed me was the sheer creativity and artistry displayed by the talented performers. Each act was executed with precision and passion, leaving me in awe of their incredible skills. The show had an undeniable energy and drive that kept me engaged from the moment it began.The newly renovated theater provided a comfortable and immersive experience, and I was pleasantly surprised by the innovative addition of speakers in the seats, which enhanced the audio experience significantly ✨🎶.Overall, KA by Cirque du Soleil is a must-see for anyone visiting Las Vegas. It's a mesmerizing journey that will leave you spellbound and wanting more. Don't miss out on the opportunity to witness this extraordinary spectacle firsthand!

Must say it was a good show. Enjoyed it as the performance was amazing.Felt it slightly long and got monotonous towards the end. However overall it was a thrilling experience.Not allowed to take pictures at all once the show begins. No food or drinks allowed once the show starts so ensure your carrying something to munch before hand.Prices of the tickets varies so keep a lookout at different website for best front row seats and the visibility is the best .

I have seen this show twice, and both times I have been amazed. The amount of work that goes into a show of this nature is underrated. KA has a captivating story, leaving you wanting more.

The 46-story Eiffel Tower replica atop Paris Las Vegas' half-scale replica of the landmark stands as one of the best Instagram spots in Sin City. The deck offers a stunning view of the Strip, including all of the famous casinos and hotels.

Top of Vegas here. 360 degrees going towards the city spread to all 4 corners. Amazing view on the Bellagio's fountain show. Check weather before going as they close if winds are strong, which is frequent in LV.

Carl B — Google review

One of the best ways to see the Fountain show. Plus really awesome views.It was cool to see the tower replicated in detail and to be so high up. The elevators made you feel like the real place in France.They also light up the tower at night.

DJ L — Google review

Great views of the Strip and Resorts! Also nice views looking outward from the city. Weekends and special events in town the lines and wait can be busy. Try both day and night tours for different perspectives. It is a fun thing to do while exploring the Strip!! If the timing is right, seeing the Belliagio Fountains show from the observation deck is really cool! Staff was amazing and knowledgeable. Be sure to allow for additional time coming down as the observation deck is small and the elevator line going down can take some time. Very decorative bridge inside while waiting to go up to the deck makes for pretty cool photos.

Live H — Google review

It cost about 30 bucks but it takes you up really high and gives you a good view of the entire strip. I think it was worth it for the money. The people operating the viewing deck were very nice and polite. It was a cool and windy day, and I am afraid of heights, but I was never scared. The inside of the Paris Hotel is a quite wonderful as well.

Mi M — Google review

Stunning experience! Once you're at the top, there are little sections of the fence that are cut out so you can get great pictures without the metal in the way. Someone really thought this out ahead of time for the customer. There are multiple areas to view all of the Las Vegas strip, which was great!We did wait about 20 minutes to get to the viewing deck, but it was well worth it. it isn't too expensive compared to many other attractions in Vegas. They are also only open during the evening hours which is perfect because you get a great view of all the lights in the city!Must see attraction, good for all ages.

Nick B — Google review

Excellent view of the strip and surrounding area. Went during the day but would recommend going at night. It's not cheap but the view was awesome. The host at the top offer a great deal of information and guidance on taking great photos. If you go, there is a shot you can take through slats in the floor; not the most hygienic but great shot of the beams, better at night.

Take in glittering views of the Strip from the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, and experience the iconic French monument in living color, half-scale and Vegas style. Glide up 46-stories to a panoramic viewing deck, and look past the city lights to the vast Mojave Desert and arid mountains. Step up to the edge, for aerial views of the Bellagio Fountains, the glowing High Roller, and Sin City’s unforgettable, vibrant downtown

Anirudh G — Google review

One of the spectacular location on the strip which should be definitely on bucket list for Vegas. Since viewing deck is located in key part of Vegas strip, it provides amazing view of Bellagio fountain and Vegas in general. It's decently priced as compared to views. We went late in evening and wait times were manageable.

Omkar K — Google review

One of the few ways to see a nice view of the Bellagio fountains right now. You can also see the sphere perfectly. It’s a fun attraction. Can be found on Groupon or bought directly. I’d say do it at least once. It’s amazing at night!

Kennedy F — Google review

A fantastic tourist attraction! At 540', it's half the size of the real Eiffel Tower. The lift attendant explained that due to it's closeness to the airport it's height had to be limited. The views from the viewing deck are amazing. You can see the Bellagio fountain display & a full 360° view of Las Vegas. If you don't do heights it may not be the one for you, but if you can overcome your fears, you won't be disappointed!

Super cool place to visit when you’re in Las Vegas! Obviously this is one of the best views in the city, you can see pretty much everything in any direction. The employees here were super friendly and helpful too, which is always nice. Overall it’s definitely worth the price if you’ve got the time. Can’t recommend giving this place a try!

Again one fabulous place to visit during the night!Buy the tickets online a few days early,because they are sold out ! Take a jacket or coat ,because it's windy and high ! It's the half demension from the real tower in Paris ! Great experience and great photoes you can take !Enjoy

Half size of the French original. Fantastic View for the stripe during night time. Also enjoy the Bellagio fountain performance every 15 minutes. If U are amateur/professional photographer, you would be sure to love it. Take care of the large wind and severe chill at nights so do remember to wear heavy clothes.

If you enjoys views, you should come here! We went on the High Roller at night and the Eiffel Tower the next day at 2pm. It was already pretty busy but it only took about 25 minutes to get on the elevator. My daughters loved it, it was their favorite part of the trip. You can go up and stay for as long as you want and the views are breathtaking. We saw (and heard) the Bellagio Fountains going off and stayed for about 15 minutes.If you like views, we recommend 100%!

No queue as it had been a bit windy so had been shut. Fantastic views of the strip on the viewing deck. Only a few people on the viewing deck with us. Got to watch the fountains to music which was amazing. Could spend as long as we wanted on the viewing deck. A real experience to enjoy it was nice and peaceful. Would 100% recommend.

Caroline R — Google review

Went to The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck.Cool to compare to the real one in Paris if you've ever been there. This one is about half its size but they did a really great job replicating the original.Going on this attraction was a unique and breathtaking experience that transported us back to Paris. As we ascended to the top, the panoramic views of the Strip unfolded before our eyes, creating a mesmerizing sight. Mind you the view is blocked by fencing (to prevent unfortunate situations) but they have small blocks of open areas big enough for your phone to have an unobstructed view for photos and videos.I must say the attention to detail in replicating the iconic Eiffel Tower is impressive. The intricate ironwork and architectural elements mirror the original structure, and it feels like you've been transported to Paris itself. The elevator ride to the top was smooth and quick, and we reached the observation deck in no time.Once we step onto the deck, the views were simply stunning. The Las Vegas skyline stretches out in all directions, showcasing the impressive landmarks, we went during the day but I'm sure at night the views of city's vibrant lights must be lovely.The deck itself is well-maintained and spacious, providing ample room to take in the sights.The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and made us feel welcomed and attended to. They readily provide assistance and answer any questions, further enhancing the overall experience.One thing to note is that this attraction can get crowded, especially during peak hours. I advise you to plan your visit accordingly to avoid long queues and to fully enjoy the experience. We went early afternoon and it wasn't too busy.The “Parisian like” experience continued when we got off the viewing deck and crossed a bridge like one of the many in the city of lights. Also towards the end of the bridge there’s a wall of the love locks that dressed one of the bridges in Paris.Overall, the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck was a captivating experience that combined the allure of Paris with the vibrant energy of the Las Vegas Strip. It is around $24 per person for a very short experience but you can get discounts if you're a senior, military or local. Whether you're a tourist or a local, this attraction is definitely worth a visit for its panoramic views, attention to detail, and unique ambiance.

If you cannot get to the real thing this sure makes a great second.Beautiful glass elevators take you to the top where you have some breathtaking views of Las Vegas. I think nighttime is the best.If you visit Vegas, don’t miss this!

Overall the place looks nice in the night. The lights are beautiful, I was here in April so weather was not too bad. I did not go up because I got scared of the way that the elevator looked and decided to not go in it. I enjoyed the view of the Eiffel Tower from across the street and right under it. As I said the lights were so nice.

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel is stunning. The European atmosphere, restaurants, casino, and interior design are all amazing. We went at night and it was incredible, with the lights of the strip and the Bellagio Fountains,sphere,high roller observatory wheels.The wait time on the bridge to get to the viewing deck was more than 45 minutes.

ShuPriya — Google review

Second time staying at Paris and first time visiting the viewing deck on the Eiffel Tower. After like two days staying there I got a text for discount tickets, so that’s what made me decide to try it. It was a smooth elevator ride up to the deck and the elevator operator provided interesting historical tidbits about the tower and its construction. The views were worth the price of admission. Try to time your visit when the water show at the Bellagio goes off for a spectacular display. And go at night so you can truly enjoy the sphere.

Frank R — Google review

Great way to view Las Vegas strip. If you’re afraid of heights I definitely do not recommend because it goes pretty high up in the sky. I would love to do this again if we ever in Vegas because the day we went it was so cold that we couldn’t stay up too long.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck at Paris Las Vegas, and it exceeded all my expectations! The breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip from the replica Eiffel Tower are nothing short of spectacular. The city lights, combined with the vibrant energy of the Strip, create a mesmerizing panorama that's perfect for both day and night visits. It genuinely feels like a mini escape to Paris, right in the heart of Vegas.

The exterior of the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas is a striking homage to the iconic landmarks of Paris. Its most prominent feature is a half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, standing tall at 540 feet and offering breathtaking views of the city from its observation deck.

潘國勝 — Google review

It wasn't what I thought it would be. It's a nice view but after 5 minutes, there's nothing else to see. It wasn't worth the price to me. The safety bars make it challenging to capture a good image. Maybe they could consider a plexiglass or something in a couple of prime spots for photos. They don't open until after 4 or 5 so schedule accordingly.

Ok for the views and seeing the bellagio fountain show right across but not much to do up there! At least at the real Eiffel Tower in Paris we got to drink champagne and eat macaroons! It’s ok to say you did it, and it’s ticked off your list! Pricey for what you pay but that’s Vegas for ya!

One of the best Views of Las Vegas. Make sure you make your reservation ahead of time as they often sell out for the day. Highly recommend you go right before sunset to capture dusk photos as well as incredible night time photos

I've been here twice, once back in 2018 and second just two weeks ago. Amazing views of the Strip/off Strip all around! There are small photo openings where you can take the perfect pictures. Of course, I would highly recommend coming right at sunset or time it when the Belagio fountains are going off, if you can get a spot there. Most people like to camp at the Belagio view spot to catch the fountain show.Staff is friendly. The elevator going up is small, so can only fit a few people. Once you're up there, you can stay as long as you want. Then just catch the next elevator down.

Kevin K — Google review

I did this as part of the go city pass & the views were unbelievable. The attendees even let you know when the Bellagio fountain show will start. Front desk was incredibly kind & helped me book my reservation on the spot when I wasn’t aware I had to make one ahead of time. All in all, an amazing experience and I highly recommend doing this before you leave Vegas.

The High Roller is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world and offers stunning city views. It can hold up to 40 people and is open to the public.

We had an amazing happy hour on the High Roller and I would absolutely recommend this experience! It’s a unique and fun way to see all of Vegas. Though I’m sure seeing it at night would be marvellous, we really didn’t have to wait long to get on during the day. We bought tickets in advance and had an amazing time.Special thank you to Cheryl, who was an amazing, knowledgeable and fun bartender! You made our experience worthwhile!

This was fun. Slow and steady. It was fully worth the experience. Sometimes you just have to grab your parents and pull them into the one with the bar in it. They didn't have a clue that I last minute upgraded. They had plenty fun in the end. Bartender was hilarious! View was spectacular. Drinks were strong!

It's an amazing experience to view the Vegas strip from top and the roller is second highest in the world. Plus it has got a perfect view of the sphere too.You can take great pictures and it moves really very slowly, u won't even feel it. And they don't fill too many people in one cabin, which is the best part. 10-15 people per cabin and there is ample room inside it for sitting or roaming.You can take pictures from every angle.Wheelchair friendly too.The day time ticket is cheaper than the night one.

Komal S — Google review

Our family had a great time. The four of us paid about $100 altogether for a 30 minute daytime ride to see Vegas from the High Roller. For us, it was worth it. We got to see some great views. We were lucky enough to get a pod to ourselves, and it was pretty comfortable.One negative was that we had to wait about an hour because they delayed the opening of the attraction for weather reasons.

Janice K — Google review

There was a very long queue but it moved really fast. I had to eat my meal because I was told outside food is not permitted. Overall, I enjoyed the ride. It gave me beautiful views of the city. I also love the fact that it moves slowly.

Chinonso U — Google review

Definitely get your tickets in advance online, if you want to go at night on weekends or holidays. It's $34.75 for an adult at night. Show ID for LOCALS DISCOUNT - $3 off! The view at the top is beautiful and worth the wait. You won't be disappointed. One of the best ways to see the city of lights. The spheres are handicap accessible and air conditioned with limited bench seating inside. The ride is 30 minutes and goes up over 500 feet in the air. If you're afraid of heights, don't go on it. If you book a sphere with a bar in it, there are no bathrooms in any of them; so make sure you're good at holding your alcohol! 😜

Lacie J — Google review

Wow, this was an awesome experience! It's not until you get right up to these "pods" that you realize the sheer size of this ride. At 550 feet, it is the highest ride in Vegas, and one the whole family can enjoy together. It offers a slow and gentle ride, lasting about 30 minutes, and excellent views of the city. We happened to go in the afternoon, and there was no crowd and only 8 of us in the pods together, so we were free to move around from one side to another without a problem. We also had someone in a wheelchair with us who was accommodated with no problem at all. Nighttime is when it's really in demand, so be prepared for long lines and crowded pods! It also costs less during the day too!If you found this review helpful, please let me know by tapping the thumbs up. Thanks!

The high roller was one of our favourite attractions in Vegas. Amazing views of the strip and surrounding areas. We went for the happy half hour. Bar service was brilliant, 4 drinks in 30 mins, could have had more too. Very well priced. It was also quiet and air conditioned in the middle of the day. Would recommend.

Loved the view. Worth the ticket 1/2 hr ride, no worries it was so smooth even in a windy night. We got the booze tickets.... the pod that had a bar all you can drink (responsibly) in it. For the experience, it was a great way to start our night off on the strip.

R C — Google review

We did this our first night in Vegas and had such a blast! We had a discount coupon so we opted to do the Happy Half Hour pod which has an open bar. I highly recommend that option b/c it was so much fun. The bartender was really engaging, entertaining and he took a fantastic picture of us. With drinks going for about $20 each on the strip, we definitely drank more than the cost of our tickets at the open bar. The night views of the strip were stunning, especially the sphere. I highly recommend this attraction as it was easily one of our favorite things we did.

Betty H — Google review

We have visited the High Roller on both of our last 2 visits, doing the bar car both times. While pricey to do, we have felt it was worth it for the views you get at night - it is an experience. The bartenders and staff are very nice, and quick and whipping up mixed drinks and passing out beers. Any drinks you get, you take with you when you go and most of our group always leaves with 2 full drinks. I recommend doing it at least once.

The High Roller is presenting the opportunity to see the strip and the surrounding landscape at the same time. Also my wife is afraid of heights, she enjoyed the ride very much. The cabin is not swinging or moving at all except in a circle. The pictures we took turned out nicely. If you buy your tickets on Grout, you can save a little cash.

Worth the price to go here. Amazing view of the sphere. You go 550ft up. About a 30 minute total ride. You can buy tickets inside. There is a QR code outside that directs you to ticketmaster to buy your tickets which I did but i do not recommend it

I took my nephew to Las Vegas since he had never been there and he really enjoyed it. The capsules are nicely cooled and the view was amazing. It was literally 108° the day we went and the pod we were in was a welcome reprieve from the heat.If you go on it at night, you can see all the light over Las Vegas . But even during the day, it's a beautiful sight to behold. They even take commemorative photos before you get on the ride. They were very cute.I would highly recommend this attraction and to buy your tickets ahead of time. I bought the anytime ticket to have the freedom to go whenever I wanted. They do offer time specific ones as well for a cheaper price.

This was definitely a beautiful experience to overlook Las Vegas. We went during the day and the view was amazing! I’m afraid of heights and this was not uncomfortable for me at all. The speed is not too fast where it’s uncomfortable. They play fun facts during your ride and you can choose to sit or stand.

Monica J — Google review

The longest attraction in Las Vegas 30 minutes long. And the view of the city is awesome. I have Road the Ferris wheel in the daytime, and at night. In my personal opinion, the night time is the best. A couple things that they do not tell you the first one is it cost more to ride the Ferris wheel at night? They also have a pod with a full bar that cost extra that you can ride in . And All the pod holds about 15 to 25 people believe it or not. On a busy day they will pack you in like sardines. If you are a Caesars Rewards, member, you can’t get a voucher printed out at the any Caesars casino for a half off ticket. And the most important thing they do not tell you how RUDE their employees are.

Chris W — Google review

It was such a great experience to see the strip & all of Las Vegas from 550 ft in the air! What a way to start off your visit with this spectacular adventure! Love the sights during the night & all its beautiful, bright colors. In my opinion, it just enlightens the experience. It's located near so many restaurants, shops, and casinos. There is so much nightlife. If you want to face your fear, this is one way to go. Enjoy!

Mati B — Google review

The high roller reaches the highest height of the Strip so we can overview the whole city of 356 degrees. The whole run was steady so be ease for those who are afraid of heights.The night ride is more expensive than day ride because the view is better. For drinkers, don’t miss the happy half hour which serves drinks during the whole ride.Overall the ride is worthwhile!

Annie T — Google review

Cool views but not very long not worth the price in my opinion. I went for free so it was fine in that sense. However at almost $40 per person to ride and $40 to park its not a very economical activity. It's a 30 minute activity.

Fantastic views of Vegas at night. Bartender was very friendly. Drinks were good.Negatives: the wait in line and the couple people who lacked any knowledge of the term considerate or what 'indoor voice' means...especially in a small globe with 10 or so of your closest...strangers.Not something I would do again unless I reserved the whole car...or was allowed to use duct tape at will.

Highly recommend going up slightly before sunset. You can see the entire metro area and end up with all the glorious lights along the Strip! And you may catch a unique view of the fountains at Bellagio if you time it right.The photos are from 2 different recent trips...

Would've loved to have our own cart since it was not a crowd at all. We were forced to join another party. There was not enough room to easily move about and take pictures without getting in someone's way or having them in your photos. I can understand if it was crowded but there was literally cars that were empty so why not allow parties to have their own car? Other than that, views were amazing and the ride was smooth.

Worth every penny! This is the largest operating ferris wheel in the world and gives you amazing views of all of Vegas and beyond! The ride has a narrator that explains a lot, and if you go in the daytime, it's cheaper, you see more, and you can have a whole pod to yourself!

Sasha V — Google review

Don't hesitate to ride his during the daytime! Although it does look cool seeing Vegas lit up from high above it's also much more crowded. I went at 5:00 PM and there was no line and only two other people in my pod. You get to see further into this distance when there is still daylight. You get spectacular views of the desert and the mountains and of course Las Vegas.

It was my mistake not to buy tickets in advance! My kids were so excited that we bought our tickets right away and went in! Anyway, it took 30 minutes and we had a great time chatting with the kids while looking at the night view! It was great!

You know when you’re a kid and you’re told not to stand up on a Ferris wheel…well, the kid in me was excited to break all the rules, and stand up in this enormous Ferris wheel!The nighttime views of Las Vegas are a lot nicer than I thought that would be. The light pollution really optimizes one’s ability to soak up the sights. You can take in the Bellagio fountains on one side, and the newly-opened sphere on the other side.It really did take 30min to go around, so it’s like $1/min. I feel like I used to pay more for a long-distance phone call, so I feel like the High Roller is worth the money.

Pretty cool experience! Tickets are little bit pricey, but not too bad. We bought our tickets ahead of time, which I definitely recommend. We went during the week in the daytime, and we walked right on. The ride takes around 30 minutes, and the view is amazing. It was a beautiful clear day, so you could see pretty far in every direction. There is also an informational video that plays during the ride, which helps you to know what you’re looking at. I would probably go again sometime at night to check out all the lights, but I really liked being able to see the mountains and surrounding area. Overall good experience.

Great experience. The bubble was very clean, sanitized and roomy. Only couples allowed for room to move around and see both front and back sides of wheel. Great views of airport, sphere, the strip and mountains.

This is such an amazing attraction in Las Vegas, see Las Vegas from above! Easy to check in and get on the ride. They do check bags for safety. They have bathrooms and sky lounge. They have great ways to enjoy your time up there. Good music and drinks. Must try if you are in town or local.

The High Roller experience in Las Vegas was absolutely amazing and stands out as one of the best activities in the city. The ride offers spectacular, panoramic views of the entire Las Vegas skyline, especially when you reach the top. It's a must-do in Vegas, providing an unforgettable experience that is worth every penny. The duration of the ride justifies the cost, offering ample time to take in the breathtaking sights. I 100% recommend this activity; you will thoroughly enjoy it and find it well worth the money spent.

If you're in Las Vegas and seeking an unforgettable experience, the High Roller is an absolute must-try, and here's why it's worth every penny! At 550 feet, the High Roller is the world's tallest observation wheel, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the Las Vegas skyline. I recently took a ride, and it left me in awe. The spacious, climate-controlled cabins provide a comfortable setting, allowing you to enjoy the scenery in style. What sets the High Roller apart is not just its impressive height, but also the duration of the ride. A half-hour rotation gives you ample time to soak in the iconic landmarks, the vibrant Strip, and the surrounding desert landscape. The city comes alive in a stunning display of lights, especially during the evening rides. Now, let's talk about the price. At $30 per person, it's an absolute steal for the experience you get. Comparable attractions can be much pricier, but the High Roller offers an unbeatable combination of value and thrill. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, providing interesting facts about the city and making the journey even more enjoyable. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, the High Roller is an investment in memories that you won't regret. The views are breathtaking, and the price is a small cost for the priceless memories you'll create. Don't miss out on this towering gem in the heart of Las Vegas!

With three different pricing options (day/night/with open bar) and only a 30 minute revolution, this is an awesome attraction option in Vegas. The view is amazing, especially at night, and the pods are big enough to fit 40 people at one time.We opted for the "Happy Half Hour" and were lucky enough to be grouped with some pretty fun people. The bartender was friendly and entertaining and did a great job keeping up with everyone's drink orders. Although drinks were served in smaller cups, they were made well and made fast.Part of the glowing Las Vegas strip skyline, the High Roller is worth a visit and a great way to start your memorable night out!

On a solo trip to Vegas, I hadn't planned on going on the High Roller, but got an email for flash sale for an anytime ticket for $27. I obliged and ended up going just before sundown and ended up with only 3 other people in the cabin. The ride was very smooth and the displays and narration were informative about the ride itself and the view. I imagine after full night sets in, the view would be even better. Definitely a must do if you're in Vegas.

Best views of the strip by far! Great value! I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance as well as finding out when sunset is and being there at that time. Takes about 30 minutes to go all around. Got some great photos. This is a must see attraction in Vegas!

Chris M — Google review

The maximum distance can reach 550 feet, and the operation process is very smooth. You can almost see a panoramic view of the whole city from it. And on top of this, it is the best place to see the sphere.

Yongqing C — Google review

It was a great experience. We did the ride in evening and was able to see the sunset and night views from the sky. It was a hot day 110 degrees but pod was cold and relaxing. You can enjoy the views from top. It was a slow ride so anybody can ride easily.

I was so excited to finally get to experience The High Roller! No one ever wanted to go with me, so on my recent solo trip to Vegas I bought tickets for the Happy Half Hour Bar Car. Imagine my surprise when I arrived and got the whole car to myself! The views were amazing, the drinks were flowing, and my bartender James was excellent company! The cars are air conditioned and the ride is so slow and smooth that I could barely tell it was moving. James told me how fast it goes but I can't recall what he said because he's good at making cocktails. : ) I do recall it being 550 feet high at its tallest. I love that kind of thing, but you might not if heights aren't your thing. The cars are way bigger than I though they would be so you don't have to stand against the glass if you don't want to. Thank you, James for making my experience special!

THIS IS IT. IF YOU PAY FOR NOTHING ELSE IN VEGAS PAY FOR THE HIGH ROLLER. PERIOD.Give a hotel concierge a 10 spot and ask for discount "reserved" tickets, you will save a bunch and ensure you ride at the time you want.To be clear, this is not a "ride", it is a huge vehicle you literally take a 30 min trip inside. The movement and speed is so graceful at time you appear to not be moving. My wife has a fear of heights and had no issues walking around the dome to get pictures from every view possible.

Alright experience! Does one full loop which is very slow! You see all of Vegas which is cool! If you’re in a rush I’d advise you do it later cause it’s the slowest Ferris wheel I’ve ever been on which is good on the money side cause you get what you paid for!

Breathtaking views! It was soooooo worth it. Went in the middle of the day and there was no wait and we shared a pod with only about 5 other people so there was plenty of room to walk around and get views of everything. A must if you are in Vegas!

Loved the experience. Beautiful views. We had whole pod to ourselves even tho they fit 40 people. Wish the glass was made from some kind of anti glare material because due to all the lights its hard to take good pictures at night.

It's cool, worth doing once. Went on with the family. Ride takes half an hour. Kids fell asleep near the top. Foreigners forced their way between myself and wife & kids running side to side for their pictures no one will ever care about. You know, once in a lifetime tourist stuff. Ideally those wackjobs would be on their own ride together.

We did the Happy Half Hour High Roller Experience at night. This was a great time with a friend bar tender and amazing views of the lights at night. We were mostly distracted by the Sphere, but was still a lot of fun. Our pod mates were friendly and it wasn't crowded. We got the souvenir pictures after the ride and had a lot of fun!

Cody W — Google review

Took the high roller ride for a good strip and the sphere view. We did get a very good view of the sphere and the entire ride lasted for 20 to 30 minutes and there was almost no wait time.It gives a city view instead of strip view. We can try it once but what is so disappointing is the price of it. It showed 25$ in google and when we were buying the tickets they said thats the price for youth and all adults above 13yrs above is 45$ on weekends which is ridiculous. I felt its too pricy for the experience that it gives.Not worth for the price. May be 20$ to 25$ is a good price.

Somara D — Google review

4 of us visited on a Friday night for sunset time, so we had to buy the any time ticket, we did not do the drink package. It wasn't to busy waiting, we only waited a few minutes to get into one of the pods and what was awesome is us 4 got one all to ourselves.The half hour went by pretty fast, it doesn't even feel like your moving though. They had a count down once you get to the top which was fun.We specifically wanted to be on for sunset which was were, and it was beautiful!

High Roller may not look big and tall due to the vast spread and scale of the hotels and other structures in Vegas. However, this is indeed the largest operational Ferris wheel in the world (Eye of Dubai is broken).Once you start getting closer to the structure, you begin to understand the sheer size and scale of what you are about to board.Each pod is a "room" and will fit a group of 20 comfortably. It's super fun to take your entire team and get a dedicated pod. The ride is gentle and certainly not a thrill ride but the views are absolutely mesmerizing. Make sure to visit after 6pm so that you can see the sunset in the horizon. I guess the golden time is the lights on the Strip with the sun setting. Again, there's nothing like it from a view perspective.High Roller is a great addition to Vegas. If you're here for the first time, must see.

Wook C — Google review

This High roller, which is the second tallest Ferris wheel in the world, is very nice. The views from the top of the strip, all the hotels, the iconic buildings and the Sphere are amazing, I recommend checking out this place. Also, it’s recommended to go during night time, to see all the lights and everything!

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any hotel. This web site will compare thousands of booking websites and typically will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of the most well known in this area. I have been staying here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!Stayed for one night, arrived at 2am. Check in was busy, but workers were working at a good pace. Roxanne was amazing. Treated my friend and I so well, and was very professional and friendly. Our room looked very nice. Highly recommend this hotel. Far enough from the Strip, but not too far.

Update: They responded to this post asking me to reach out to their customer support, and then never responded to the multiple emails I sent them, so at least they are consistent in their utter lack of customer service. Original Review: Easily the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. My bag was stolen within 5 minutes of entering this hotel. The security team was responsive, but after confirming that they had video of someone stealing it, they said there’s was nothing they could do, and that this was a common occurrence. Headed to my room and found my keys did not work. Had to go back down to security twice to be let in. Room was fine, but had seen better days. Someone started running an industrial vacuum at around 11 PM. Housekeeping unlocked and tried to enter my room several hours before my check out. It’s an extra charge to go up to the top, despite them surprising you with a $45 a night resort fee upon check out. They sent me a dozen automated texts during my two night stay, one of which was for a pool that was closed (no discount off of the resort fee, however). The check in/check out line was like a ride at Disneyland, and in retrospect my guess is they do that intentionally so you don’t have time to wait and contest any charges. I’ll take my chances sleeping on The Strip before I ever stay here again. It’d certainly be cheaper, and likely safer.

We originally had reservations for a standard double queen room. At check-in it was mentioned about an upgrade with fridge, walk-in shower and coffee maker along with a 55” tv for an additional $12 a night. Originally we felt those things were not needed. The standard room was not up to any standards. It smelled the box spring were excessively stained and needed to be replaced. We were not comfortable keeping the room and the upgrade might be worth it. Went back to check-in and now it’s $26 a night since we declined the first time. That’s when I knew I was in a shady hotel. But again the standard room was not inhabitable. We make it to the new upgraded room and it smells awful. There is a fowl order coming from the bathroom. The second upgraded room was not cleaned. After the third room we were tried and settled for the last one. Even though the showers have obviously not been cleaned and one small window. Which in my opinion should be considered a standard room. They con you into these upgrades because they know most people will upgrade. Will I ever stay again not at all. I would’ve been better off spending an additional $200 to stay somewhere else. After all when their done ripping you off it’s equivalent to staying close to everything.P.S The fridge is not working properly

I actually really enjoyed staying here last November. My room was up very high, and when I was sick with a migraine for two days in bed I remember that my bed was very soft and comfortable. The sheets and blankets were nice to wrap up with.I also really enjoyed the café and Starbucks on the first floor, as well as the lookout point. The service at the restaurants was good; however asking anything of housekeeping was treated as though it was out of the question to help guests. Like super basic housekeepers.

I didn't stay in the hotel, we went to top of tour and rode the blast off ride. It costs 35.00 to go to the top of the tower where there is a indoor and out door observation deck. You can purchase food and excellent ice cream. And hang out as long as you want with chairs and sofas to sit on and enjoy the view. It wasn't busy when we went on a Saturday which was nice and the blast off ride was awesome!! It was an additional 5.00 dollars. The casino is the northern most on the strip so you'll need to walk a lot of you wish to explore the strip from here. Free parking just a block away at the Sahara if you want to see the tower but not stay in the hotel.

I will never stay here again for several reasons. We booked (8 months in advance) a non-smoking room with a queen bed. When we checked in, we were informed that only smoking rooms were available unless we paid to "upgrade" to a remodeled non-smoking room. This resulted in paying an extra $91 for a 2-night stay. When I booked the non-smoking queen room, I thought that meant I had one reserved. In the confirmation email, there's a link with terms & conditions...This is where it says, "Bed type, smoking preference, and other requests are noted but are not guaranteed and will be honored on a space-available basis." I didn't see this disclaimer on the website during the booking process. If I would have known that we'd be paying extra at check-in, I would have booked elsewhere (I chose this hotel based on price). The woman at the front desk tried to make us feel better about paying extra, saying that the room had a fridge and a safe...Even though that's standard in the other rooms. "A" for effort, I guess.We must have been the first guests in this room because the plastic wrap was still on the smoke detector, the construction mess wasn't cleaned up (I spent 2 hours cleaning the desk, bathroom counter, shower, etc.), and the sink was clogged. We had maintenance attempt to unclog the sink twice. The neighboring room also had the clog. They were able to partially unclog, but the water was still slow draining. One of the maintenance men said it'll take awhile to unclog due to caulk and other construction remnants working down/out of the drain (not sure why anyone would put that stuff down the drain to begin with...). They were friendly and quick to respond. It sounds like the contractor is the one who caused the clog. But not sure why no one checked the drains and smoke detector, nor cleaned the room, before allowing guests in it. We also didn't have a do-not-disturb sign for our door...We requested one and received it fairly quickly. Towels had black stuff on them (I think from construction). After all of the other calls we made, we just decided to wipe off the stuff on the towels and use them as is (rather than bothering the front desk one more time). It just seems everything was rushed with remodeling these rooms and they weren't truly ready for guests.TL; DR: Deceptive pricing, inconvenient, and dirty rooms.

I was here for two nights and I had a great time. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The Sports Book is one of the best. Several big screens and comfortable seats. I also enjoyed the breakfast at the Cafe and the show at LA Comedy Club is a good show.

This was great when I entered this tower. I just thought it was going to be some normal hotel when I saw the height of the amazing place. So my family was getting a room to stay in for a few days and for because we were going to California to meet my cousins and I was amazed by the huge place. Sometimes they would serve food and it was great and it was easy to locate where your room was and everything was fun. And trust me, if you take the special elevator to the top floor you will have the best experience of a view EVER! You could even see the Las Vegas sphere from a view! I totally recommend this place to people who are traveling.

Upon arriving I was told the room I had booked was old and outdated and told I should upgrade for a renovated room for an extra $35 a night. I agreed to this. However the room we got did not seem updated. It was so humid, had no exhaust fan in the bathroom (which I believe is against code due to mold reasons), smelled like mold and to make matters worse, their vent system allows other rooms air to come into our room. We had marijuanna smoke billowing in our room in the middle of the night. I had two minors sleeping with us. I was told when I called this morning that I should have called so they could "deodorize" the room. How would that have been helpful in the middle of the night? I requested a refund of even the extra $35 I was charged for the supposed upgraded room and was told again "I should have called". We are checking out today, sending up housekeeping to deodorize our room doesn't help anything now. I'm happy to remove this review if they'd compensate me for this poor experience. To me that would be good customer service and correcting the poor experience.

Absolutely amazing every single time we come!!! We are treated wonderfully, and never want our stay to end! Our host Amber is amazing, and the rest of the staff seemed fantastic as well. Our suite is gorgeous, spacious, and spotless. The restaurants never disappoint, it's never overly crowded, but still lively. The cocktail waitresses never made us wait, and our drivers were absolutely fantastic!!Too much to list, but 100% our happy place!

Awful experience from the front desk. We were placed in a smoking room without being told that was all they had left. Obviously we were annoyed when we got to the room and it reeked of that cigarette smell, which caused my wife to get physically ill after we sat in the room trying to work out an alternative solution due to health concerns. We found another hotel, went downstairs to cancel, and the manager assured us that they had a room opening up, their house keeping staff had just started their shift at 3am, and they'd put in an emergency request and the room would be ready in an hour or so, and they'd call our cells when it was ready. Cool, not worth the hassle of switching for an hour, so we waited.At 7:30am, we hadn't heard back besides a text , so I went down to check on that request and was informed by the first receptionist there was nothing that could be done. We had a room set aside for us, but it'd be 1pm at the earliest and we'd have to be here to move our bags over. Went to a second receptionist, who was actually helpful, and got our time moved up to 11am (still awful but manageable). However, he informed us they have no house keeping currently on site? That seems odd in general... Night shift manager who told us it'd be ready wasn't available, of course.Overall, check in/reception is the first impression we get, and our entire experience has been an awful smell in our room and inconsistent assistance at reception that felt more like another casino game.

It was a standard room that we booked online. When we got there, we were told the standard rooms weren't newly renovated and didn't have refrigerators. We decided to upgrade to a room with a refrigerator. They told us the room was recently renovated, so it looked great. However, there was a weird smell when we walked in. We thought maybe it just needed to be aired out. Next morning, the smell was still there and it was coming from the toilet and sink. We couldn't believe how bad it smelled. My brother and sister-in-law had a room there too, and it reeked of smoke. I don't even want to mention the rust on the outside of the shower. The hotel would have been a no-go if it wasn't near the wedding we were attending. What would a standard room look and smell like if this was the newly upgraded room? The first and last time we'll stay here. But after all i slept good so yeah.

The pool is located on the roof of the hotel, offering views of the beautiful Las Vegas skyline. Guests can choose to swim at night and enjoy the unique Las Vegas night view. The pool area features multiple waterfalls, creating a natural atmosphere that makes us feel as if we were in the great outdoors. There is also a water therapy pool with massage jets and a hot tub to help us relax and relieve muscle fatigue.

Check in was a long wait. Above 20 minutes at 2:00 a.m. Check out was also long. When I tried to just give my keys back I was yelled at by a woman at the front desk. Up until then everyone was very nice. You need a better check out method. I did not appreciate being yelled at. This was extremely rude. If you have no way for guests to easily check out, what do you expect? I did really enjoy the exercise room and the comedy club. They also had great gift shops and a very nice Starbucks. The Starbucks was open 24 hours.

I usually stay mid strip but this hotel was chosen for us by the escape vacation which we originally paid $99 to come back to vegas and stay worry free. I ended up paying Hotel fee, room fee, taxes, and weekend fee. Totaling about $700 when I could have stayed in a better hotel for that price. Also, they did not tell us about some of the hidden fees and when I brought it up to their attention, they just brushed it off and refused to give me a credit. Some of the customers also had the same problem with extra charges as they checked out like us. They really get you when they are standing in the pathway offering you to come back for $99 so don’t do it! Customer service was horrible in this hotel, their plumbing is bad, and the rooms don’t look as described online. I will never come back here again and I don’t recommend to anyone. I recommend treasure island! That has bin by far the cleanest and more welcoming hotel so far here in Vegas for us considering we’ve stayed in several on the strip.

This place is a joke - don't waste your money!!!I called to book a package and I didn't read the confirmation correctly as I talked at length with the reservation person and thought I had it all booked properly - my fault for not double checking that someone did their job correctly.After arriving today, I was informed that it was the cheapest room on the reservation but if I wanted to pay extra, I could upgrade to a suite with a view. So for an extra $70+ for both nights, I thought it was good idea and did it.We got up to the suite and it's a bed in an empty room... THERE IS NOT EVEN AN OFFICE CHAIR!!!After talking with the front desk, they have no interest in making my stay comfortable. They claim a suite is a room with an elevated bed, coffee maker, and fridge for the price of over $200 a NIGHT. I've got sucker written on my forehead for falling for this. Don't bother staying here...it's not worth it. Many other nicer places to stay - on or off strip for better quality and service.Update: after escalating to a Supervisor, she credited the upgrade cost of the room which I am thankful for. Still no place to sit other than the bed. Even with the credit, the headache isn't worth it and I'll never book here again nor recommend it to anyone. I was NOT the only one in line at the front desk requesting help with similar issues.

This was an extremely disappointing experience. We booked a nonsmoking room, but the room was filled with smoke and we had to request a new one. The bed was uncomfortable and the walls were thin, so it was very loud. We ate at the Cafe Strat for breakfast, and it was truly gross. A Denny's would have been a better choice by far. On our last night, when we tried to enter the parking structure, the mechanical gates weren't working and there was no security guard in the booth to help us. We had to call the front desk to transfer us to a security officer, who was very rude and made fun of us for "not being able to push a button." When they arrived, they also found that the gate did not work and ran around for 15 minutes trying to find a key before another guest simply lifted up the gate and the security guards waved us through. The issue wasn't resolved when we left the following morning, and security guards were manually opening each gate and double checking people had paid for parking. It took over 30 minutes to leave, and I'm shocked that they still tried to charge for parking under the circumstances. After all of that, they did not charge my card correctly and I had to call the front desk again, who transferred me to the parking company to fix the charge. Overall, this was a customer service experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. Stay somewhere else.

Madeleine D — Google review

Overall I enjoyed my stay at The Strat. The casino was fun and the pool was great. Only downfall was the phone in my room didn’t work making it difficult to call the front desk for anything, and one of my lights wouldn’t stop flickering and after I told the hotel about it, they informed me that the only way to replace the light would be to replace the entire headboard, so I just didn’t have light in the mornings/evenings. The bed was super comfy and the built in couch was a nice touch for extra space to sit and store things. The shower was a little awkward with the way the shower head was positioned, but there was a lot of space in the shower which is always nice for a bigger guy like me

Absolutely poor customer service in the hotel. Everyone but one person was super rude, and then we went to the pool, the girls selling skipped us every time, they seemed to be only interested in the older men around, I believe to get a bigger tip. I was forced to go all the way to the other end to the cafe and was told rudely I couldn’t buy anything because my toddler was with me. I was NOT trying to sit there, I was just wanting to buy some stuff for us and come back to our chairs. How exactly am I supposed to buy anything if there is NO service and I can’t walk up and buy either? The girl in charge of the towels was rude as well. She was sitting in the back ignoring everyone, when I called for her to come to the front she rolled her eyes, walked up and slammed 2 towels and IMMEDIATELY turned away even tho I requested 4 for us. I called her again and she again and rolled her eyes and gave me just one more and quickly went back to the back to be on her phone again. I have no problem with them entertaining themselves while they have no guests requiring their help, but once they are, you can’t get an attitude they are asking for help. This was an absolutely ridiculous waste of money. Not worth it at all, I’m talking to management about finishing our stay early and getting refunded because we are NOT dealing with this foolishness any more. We have been here 4 days so far and they have been anything but pleasant at the hotel and we had 5 more, but no thanks. We are over this.

It was far from what I had expected. The overall experience left a lot to be desired.I felt unsafe during my stay. The service was a major letdown as well. The staff seemed indifferent and unhelpful.

The carpets were stained, and the bathroom had visible signs of neglect.

Awful. Gross.I checked in pretty late for a 1 night stay, and when I arrived at my room, I could tell they hadn't vaccumed. I noticed pet hair on the carpet. I called down and asked for blankets, and no one ever bothered to bring them. I normally inspect my hotel rooms really well, but it was nearly 2 a.m., and I needed to lay down because I had another flight in a few hours. When I got up, I went to the bathroom, and I noticed the shower wasn't cleaned. Toothpaste splatters on the wall, more animal hair, and other hair in the drain of the shower. I found dog toys under the desk which confirm there had been animals in the room. I high tailed it out of there and told an employee at the self check out about the issues. They just shrugged and told me where to drop my key...The valet was nice... but otherwise, I wouldn't ever let anyone I sort of like stay there.

Location is farther from main busy part of strip. Nice view from room of the mountains. Clean rooms, easy check in, easier check out! Amazing prices in comparison to most other hotels on parts of strip. Disappointed that they advertised coffee maker, however, there was no coffee maker in the room.Easy to get around with Deuce bus stop right in front of hotel, with the Deuce public bus ($6 for 2 hour pass) running 24 hours a day on the strip.Highly advisable to not drive from hotel to hotel. Traffic was awful on Thanksgiving weekend.

The remodeled rooms were nice. Very comfortable and clean. The tower is always fun to look off of. They charge a little too much just to get access to the observation deck, but I guess that keeps it less crowded up there.

The Hotel is very clean and the hotel staff are friendly. The parking is automated meaning it scans your plates coming and going. The Casino has a nice atmosphere. Some of the dealers work half a day I think. So be nice to them! Hidden Fees for hotel amenities of 50$+ a day. So watch out for that. You're a mad man if you stay in Vegas more than three days though.

Room was obviously not clean and smelled funny , shower was black mold and clogged . They did fix the clog but said someone else would need to clean the mold. Coming in and out is a pack of wild animals who will apparently sell their own souls to sell you a time share. Everything is of coursed overpriced, $13 for a water and a Gatorade. The tower is great and so is the pool but overall it’s evident this place runs on a turn and burn philosophy which is unfortunate really because attracting repeat business doesn’t seem a part of the plan here . Overall you can do much better for about the same amount and trying to book and extra day took over an hour as they wanted to charge another resort fee as opposed to just letting us pay the nightly rate we already booked

We only visited to do the rides while celebrating our 41st anniversary. We did have breakfast in the Cafe by the box office. The pancakes were great! I would highly recommend the rides if you love thrills! You may think you know drop towers but the Big Shot has a surprise! Not to mention that I didn't stop shaking for 20 minutes after getting off the X-Scream. You will not regret the experience!We purchased the unlimited tower and rides wrist bands. The were normally $41 each but when we asked about the locals discount it dropped the price to $48.96 for 2 wrist bands taxes and fees included. Not to mention we were in and out of the parking garage 4 times. At $20 to park, the free locals parking saved us another $80. Make sure you ask about and use your locals discounts folks!

We have been to Vegas about 10 times and have never stepped foot into here u til this last trip. We loved it! We only made it a few steps in and had so much fun. We will definitely return. Next time we will make it further into the casino.

My girlfriend and I checked into this hotel today and are staying for a week. We have been faced with nothing but disappointment since we got here. Apparently even though we are paying to stay at this hotel, there is a $21 a day parking fee. They did let me know that we are allowed to come and go as frequently as we want and the fee will not increase.Once we got our room number, we asked what elevator to take and was told the wrong one. We ended up walking all the way around the floor to our room.Everywhere you walk in this hotel smells like weed. This is supposed to be a weed free hotel. It's all you can smell in the hallway leading to our room. Fortunately it does not smell in the room itself.The bathroom door swings the wrong way, which makes closing the door to the bathroom very difficult once inside. The shower only has half a door meaning water gets on the floor. The temperature is entirely too hot. When you turn it down a little it gets too cold. Once you manage to find a decent temperature that won't hospitalize you, it will change back to extremely hot without touching it.We upgraded our room to a king bed, only to find that rather than having a fitted sheet, we have 2 top sheets on the mattress.The location of this property does not feel safe. Right across the street are boarded up apartments for rent. I wouldn't recommend walking around outside at this hotel, especially not alone.This is day 1 of 6 and so far we are not off to a great start. I wish we stayed somewhere else.

Will check out tomorrow but just wanted to say front desk was very nice. All people work here are gracious and happy . Room very clean and the gym is very efficient. Can't wait to enjoy the pool this afternoon and thank you to all the people behind the scenes to make all this happen

Loved the suite! Gorgeous room. Didn’t like the view in the room we had but they redeemed themselves with that awesome late checkout so I’m satisfied and if you stay there it’s a MUST you go to the top of that tower and view the city! You get a discount if you stay there already

The first room we had only had a tiny window and the room was very small. The compressor on the air conditioner went out so they upgraded our room to the 24th floor with a great view of the mountains.The new room was great , with a refrigerator, coffee maker and a much bigger bathroom.Would stay here again as long as you get a room upgrade. The room I booked said it was a two Queen elite.

Family trip was pretty amazing. Room was acceptable & serverd us well for our stay. Pretty nice mountain views from the upper floors. Nice facilities & great staff. Decent food, buffets & shopping. Not sure about location on the Strip, as other casino attractions are sometimes far, but pricing was good.

Well, I thought I'd switch from my normal stay, but it was a mistake. During my two night stay I had to call the front desk 4 times. The first time for poor drainage in the bathroom sink and the next 3 times for a television that only stayed on for 2 hours between fixes. The staff was great the check-in was fast. The check out was long. I paid for an up graded renovated room only to find that my view was of the parking structure. By the accommodation was decent 4/10. Made a reservation for Top of the World restaurant. Great views highly recommend but my food lamb chops, asparagus and the loaded baked potato arrived cold. I'm waiting for my refund for the resort fees. As they said, they couldn't comp my room due to being booked by a third party. But it looks like another charge was added after I checked out on the Feb 2/12, I just want the Strat to be a distant memory at this point.

The front desk gentleman, Todd, and the Bellman , Berto, were awesome. The other people at the front desk were horrible and very unprofessional.I came in and stood behind a lady and we were there for a long while. They stood around and walked in and out chatting with one another. They did not help any guest, then One lady asked me to come up and one took care of the other. The others did not nothing but chat amongst themselves. I approach the front desk because I needed to change rooms. I used a stern voice to show I was serious, but I wasn’t ugly and let them know that I needed to speak to that girl because she gave me a bad room. She never did come out and the guy said she’ll be out when she can and they were all just whispering talking amongst themselves. I got tired of it so I called at Todd to ask. He was polite. They all decided to come at me, very rudely, getting attitudes and they acted like they had a grudge against me even stating that they would call security and throw me out basically. I have never been treated as such . It was absurd. The lady made a comment that I was getting a comp room so I guess that’s why she gave me a crappy room in a smoking section, without asking me. She knew I had allergies because it was on my reservation. I went to them to try to get help and all they did was ignore me until I went to Todd because he was the only person working out there. They just chitchatted amongst themselves and ignored guest.They gave me an ugly handicap room that smelled and was warm.This hotel is beneath my standards. I will never stay here again!It was degrading and ruined my first night here. I paid for a room for an entire day that I was not even here because they made me wait so long that it was almost 2 am before I got to my room.It is Not worth the money!!! Thank God I have a nice resort booked for tomorrow.This is considered an old cheap best western hotel.The outside is pretty… and there is a lot of casino stuff…

To start, we were arrive to the hotel around midnight. We checked in and got our room keys. For some reason the keys didn’t work so we had to go down to the front desk to try to get the fixed three times. We were locked our for some reason so then they gave us another room. This other room was nicer but the A/C was broken. The room was extremely hot. We asked if it could be fix, they sent maintenance and they told us that this room had a previous work order. So they were aware the a/c wasn’t working and still gave us that room. They offered to refund me my money since they could not switch us to another being that they were completely booked. Well i waited the 7-10 business days they said it would take to get my refund back and all i got was $50. I didn’t even get the deposit. Its safe to say I will never be staying here again and i definitely do not recommend this place to anyone. Worst experience of my life.

Classic icon. Away from the main strip and much cheaper. But also a bit dated and not as nice as other higher end hotels. The tower is great and worth a visit. Especially at Nighyt. Overall a decent place if you don't want to spend too much on a room.

It’s a cool place but when we checked in after looking online and being told over the phone an estimated price we ended up paying almost 300$ over that set price. On top of that there is a crack in our bath tub that feels like you’re going to fall through, there’s cigarette ash on our floor, and the room smells like weed cigarettes and piss.

Besides the cool rides that you can go on.... the rest of the hotel and parking is a dump. You pay 21 for 24 hours of parking in the same dumpy parking lot that you used to park in for free. I don't see very many cameras and it's quite a hike to the hotel. DO VALET. The regular parking is a nightmare then you finally found a spot you'll wander around trying to figure out where you go in the heat. As I was walking out to the hotel I heard car alarms going off and I turned around to see if maybe I left mine on...Did the self check-in which was very impersonal and confusing and even have to doing that I had to go ask to the concierge which Tower my room was in.I think it was the Select Tower in my room had to be the farthest away from the elevator. I can smell marijuana as I was walking up in the hallways and as I entered my room I was just shocked by no air conditioning turned on it was 85°. It took quite a while to get it done to a temperature where I felt cool.My coffee maker didn't work... the room was very very worn down holes in the tables beat up furniture holes in curtains.I take baths but the first thing I noticed in the shower while there was an earwig bug... and then I looked up at the shower head and saw that it hadn't been properly cleaned in years. I decided to take a cool bath unfortunately the plug for the tub doesn't actually screw in so you just have to put your feet on top of it with a washcloth to keep the water in the tub. The tub itself is actually comfortable.What really makes me upset is I realized my view was of the parking garage where I can almost see my car except for it was on the inside of the fourth floor and I kept hearing alarms go off so I freaked out wandered around trying to get back to the parking garage to make sure it was okay. This is the second time I saw two cars one getting in a car and another guy standing next to it and it looks pretty shady. I mentioned this to one of the people down in the lobby and they said yeah there's been a lot of break-ins in the cars.So I stayed in my room from about 5:00 p.m. till about 7:00 a.m. listening to car alarms going off about every 10 or 15 minutes all night long. I will never stay there again. I ordered some fajitas from the restaurant and down stairs for $34 and they were mush.I did have a couple cocktails in the morning and a bartender was coolBut for the price on top of the resort fees and a sale tag plus parking there is no way in hell I would pay $200 for this experience again everYou can get beautiful two three room suites with patios and views and jacuzzi tubs with free parking at the MGM signature for $175...

Room smelled of sewage from drain constantly being backed up ....this has happened every time we stay here for the last several years and never gotten fixed. Resort fees are not worth room quality anymore. This used to be our favorite place to stay, but for the past several years, not so much anymore. We have tried giving this place several tries, hoping it would get better, but it just hasn't. Definitely needs remodeling. Just my opinion, but we won't be returning here for our anniversary anymore. We have been loyal customers for several years but not anymore, unfortunately . Hallways look dingy and stained carpet .

My bathroom was not cleaned upon arrival! The room was ok.. The best part about my stay was the pool. They don’t have microwaves, should probably consider updating and getting those. Also had to pay for parking which sucked.

I attended a squadron reunion there last weekend. The hotel is great and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff worked hard to make our reunion go off without a hitch, and it was beautifully done. I very much enjoyed seeing people that I hadn’t seen in over 40 years. All the work the reunion staff and the staff at the Strat put in made the reunion that much better. Thank you!

It’s a perfectly good budget hotel for your time in Vegas. There was a problem with our AC unit one night and the staff promptly moved us that night and gave us a 50 dollar food credit for the trouble. Not the newest, and the rooms are a bit banged up, but I never felt unsafe or like the room was dirty. The staff is great, shout out to Jason at the front desk for saving our night, and Taylor was a great waitress by the pool.

The Fremont Street Experience is a 24-hour pedestrian mall filled with computer-controlled lights and sound, as well as attractions such as a slot machine platform and a zipline. It's popular with tourists for its light show, Viva Vision, which changes regularly.

Fantastic, better than the main strip in my opinion. It's less polished, a little grimey but totally authentic. There's a better atmosphere there too and a wild mix of people. On the day I was there a couple of gigs were playing too. Did the zip line too which was good fun, albeit a little long waiting.

You can’t come to Vegas without making a trip to Fremont Street. So much to see here. Lots of sparkling lights, zip-lines, street performers, delicious food and drinks, music, entertainment, casinos, and more. Definitely worth the experience.Highly recommend.Tip: If you have kids with you, I wouldn’t bring them down here after 8pm, this place really starts to heat up after that, and is really suited for adults only at that point.

Monica H — Google review

Visiting Fremont Street is certainly an experience.Without researching the history of the street, my interpretation is part of the old Las Vegas strip, designated as pedestrian-only (except for service vehicles) and covered by a giant curved l.e.d. Screen.With an assault on the eyes and ears, it is easy to go into a sensory overload, so sensitive individuals should avoid Fremont at any time of day.Great place to see some of the classic casinos such as Binions, Pioneer, and the Golden Nugget. Both inside the casinos and outside are countless shops, bars, and restaurants catering to every appetite.Overhead zip-lining is the fastest way to see the street with a bird's eye view, but zipping along so fast barely gives a glimpse at what the street has to offer.Souvenir!Street buskers and more. Get a photo taken with Superman, Green Lantern, Vegas Showgirls, silver Statues, or topless nuns. All for a modest price of course.A slushy cocktail can be purchased every ten feet.Tired of walking? Let fish massage your feet.Fremont Street is surprisingly family-friendly during the day, but as the evening creeps in, so does the weirdness. If faint of heart, or visiting with children or family, it best to do so during the day, unless grandma doesn't mind the topless nuns.Easily accessible by ride share, taxi or bus.

Stop in during the day, great experience not as crowded. Day time is the best time to really enjoy your self with out the distraction. Actually I was much nicer then the strip with so much construction all over the place. Plan on adding a lot of delay time if you're staying on the strip. Enjoy my friends and stay hungry.

Fremont St was packed! I mean, holy hell packed. Great experience though, I’d strongly consider staying down there next time instead of the strip. It was just so much more lively than the strip.Live bands. LED show above your head. Great time and we felt safe.The slots seem looser down here.Table games (blackjack) was fantastic and fun for all parties.

Michael O — Google review

This place is not bad to watch people. The casinos are pretty lame, and the restaurants are OK. There’s a lot of gimmick stuff here and it’s a great place just to watch people but be careful about getting your photos taken with some of the locals cause they will charge you for everything. Overall worth a visit to check out the original Vegas strip.

Andrew M — Google review

Pretty fun if you want to get away from the strip and experience old Vegas, there's tons of street performers(a lot more than you would see on the regular strip), zip lining at slotzilla, tons of shops, food and other fun things to check out. The Denny's pop-up chapel is located here as well as heart attack grill and tons of other iconic places. They'll often host little concerts and events here so it's super fun just to walk around and see everything.

Reg T — Google review

Visiting Fremont for the first time was an incredible experience. From the street performances, bands playing up and down the street and interesting vendors makes it a visual wonderland.Be warned though: if you are sensitive to the smell of weed, seeing homeless people around every turn, or almost naked women with whips trying to get their picture with you… then stay away. But if you’re comfortable with all that, it’s something you don’t want to miss in Vegas.

Zak N — Google review

Had a great time staying at the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street! It's cool that the party is right out the door. Good eats, big drinks, good music all day and good bands in the evenings! If you don't like loud music, stay off the downtown street because the party goes until 2am. If you want to handle, eat, party and stumble back to your room easily, this is your Vegas.BTW, The Hoover Dam is a half hour drive and Grand Canyon West is another two hours past that! Highly recommend the side trip!

Rick G — Google review

One of the most famous shopping and eatery streets in Las Vegas. A unique experience with rooftop light with LED lights and incredible designs. There a lots of things to do and enjoy in the walking street. Good restaurants, live music, gambling machines, or even to walk around to enjoy the vibes. I would recommend to walk during the evening to enjoy the light experience. Definitely a place to visit in your Las Vegas trip. Parking is not easy. Nearest parking mall costs 8$ an hour. If you are lucky might find cheaper street parking near by.

This place is so awesome! Between the old school casinos and the random weird people wandering around and the live music and the pretty fabulous food, you could easily spend an hour or two just wandering around and looking at stuff. The main attraction is obviously the overhead lighted dome. Make sure that you stop to take your pictures and videos and don't walk while videoing because you will walk into someone. 100% recommend! We went twice while we were there. Make sure you cross the street outside and go over to Evel Pizza.

Fremont Street was the highlight of our Vegas trip! We came in the beginning of May so the weather was perfect. The streets were full of life and good vibes! Tons of different stores and street performers! Multiple concerts playing at the same time! We loved the animated ceiling as that just gave us so much great vibes. Definitely recommend people stop by if you're in Vegas!!

This place has great entertainment and a great nightlife atmosphere. Live music and cool small shops when you want to buy a few souvenirs. The band I saw was playing covers of Joan Jett, Nancy Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks. Totally Awesome! You have to check this place out.

A very lively and impressive place. The old Vegas. Suitable for young and old. However, it tends to be a young crowd and more locals than on the Strip. There were several stages with great bands playing rock music from different eras. Lots of people in a good mood and lots and lots of colorful lights. If you want, you can also zipline over the heads of the party people

For my first time ever in Las Vegas, ti be able to experience Fremont Street Experience was out of this world. You definitely see a huge variety of people and places and experience many amazing adventures. The lights, colors and sounds are so captivating and is just one of many, many reasons that we will be heading back to Las Vegas. One 7 day trip is just not enough time to take it all in! I absolutely loved it!!!

Jennifer — Google review

Only a short bus ride or Uber trip from the strip. But well worth the effort!we visited at night which is obviously the best time to go!I was worried the street actors would be too risque for my son, but it was no worse than what we saw on the strip. In fact they were better because they have to remain in specific areas!There were several music stages with different types of entertainment.But the real excitement is the overhead screen. On the hour they present a short three song performance for a specific artist. The rest of the time you can enjoy various videos overhead. Definitely worth taking the family.

Wonderful and amazing live night here. Lots of fun can be done here based on the group you have . Multiple food corners to eat with friends and family. Lots of Street entertainment you will have to watch and enjoy. The amazing live display screen is so huge . The zip lining is the best experience can be done with family. If going with kids , just keep them close as this place is always very crowded as well go little early in the evening as by late evening you will have see some adult entertainment on the street which are not kids appropriate. Must visit place while in Las Vegas. Parking is cheap compared to there places and right next to the street.

The best place in Vegas, the hotels are within walking distance, plenty of things to do, plenty of bars, entertainment ,a ZipLine for the brave, plenty of restaurants, the streets performers are great , just don't forget to tip them. There are concerts every night and the best is all free. Drinks are great, they don't skimp on the pour, average is 15-18 dollars, you can enter any hotel with your drink and gamble till you drop. Overall, it was a fun place in Vegas old part, in my personal opinion is more fun than the Strip, you won't be disappointed!!!

We've heard great things about Fremont Street so we were excited to go. It was so packed we could barely walk and couldn't get a drink because the lines were so long. There was a DJ and a band but again there were too many people so it wasn't enjoyable 🤷‍♀️. I'm really not sure what there is to do besides watching half naked women take pictures with men, shop or go to the casinos... Which we can do on the strip and there's more of it. Think we'll stay on the strip from now on.

It was fun . Still one of the best things to do in town, the old Fremont Street casino district continually rebuilds itself into a thrilling entertainment zone thanks to new attractions, constant live entertainment, and budget-friendly eats. The overhead canopy light and sound show pumps out favorite songs paired with digital light accompaniment that nearly everyone stops to take in. Take a stroll through old-school Vegas and pick up a beer to go in this pedestrian-friendly entertainment hub.

Lots of sights and sounds. Lots of people. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars. Street entertainment galore. Most of the street performers are not very good, they don't perform until you give them money. Too many people smoking so the air is gross. If you like crowds and an upbeat environment then this is for you. The sky screen is pretty amazing.

Super fun crazy experience. Pretty much an adult only thing, especially at night and on the weekends. It's pretty loud too, you will see every and all kinds of people here. The food is great and the casinos are pretty cool too, a few of them are 21+ only. Multiple bands play at the same time on different stages and the main covered light show is awesome.

Fremont Street in Old Las Vegas is one of my favorite experiences about visiting Las Vegas. Lot of things going on around you other than the rooftop projector and music. Lots of quick grab bites and also upscale restaurants to eat and things to see, street performers, zip lines, casinos. This is really a must to visit while in Las Vegas. There are marked areas for the shows and the stars are great but the show lasts till 2-3 at night. After the show is over, it is not advisable to stay any longer as the place gets shady in the early mornings. In my opinion, it is not advisable to bring kids in this area as crowd can get crazy and shady some times and booze is available aplenty. But I will surely recommend adults visiting here during evenings and till 12-1 at night. Fun place to unwind!

Every time I told someone my son was taking me to Vegas for my birthday, they told me to be sure and go to Fremont Street. That place is freaking awesome. When we were there in April, they had 2 gigs going on. Great music. The atmosphere is electric. If you don't go anywhere else, go there. It is like an outside mall with tons of things going on. Be sure and check out the roof and the changing designs. They have 2 ziplines also. There are plenty of places to eat. This is just an awesome place.

We found a fun little saloon and saddled up to people watch. Everyone needs to go to Fremont Street Experience when in Vegas. If you walk just a little off the downtown, one can find lots of hidden treasures and local watering holes. Take the bus too.. get opportunity to get somewhat acclimated, and you cannot beat $8 for a 24 hour pass

Very fun place to visit. Much better than the strip because it's more crowd friendlier. They have live entertainment on 3 stages in the evening hours and more individual performers on Fremont. Many restaurants to eat at, and across Las Vegas Blvd theirs the container park area with vendors and restaurants also, and clubs to party at and many hotels to stay in in that area.

Day time visit. The best time is at night for Halloween. Free concerts. Lots of stores, places to eat and gamble. There is a pricey zip line and video display on the roof. And of course street performers performing for tips. Tip if you watch and are entertained. At least 20.

We had time to kill before catching our flight so after driving to the Hoover dam for the day, we made our way to Fremont street which we were originally not going to see.We’ll worth the time and only cost $8 for 2 hrs parking in garage.Loved the atmosphere and the video show on the “ceiling” of the streets. One of my favorite things we did on the trip. There is zip lining across the the streets if you are interested in that. Lots of side shows happening from interesting to weird and pathetic.

It's a great experience. The light show is definitely the main attraction. You do get to see some live shows from very talented people. This is not a place for children parents. They call it Sin City for a reason, so no complaints about the nudity. As well in my experience, many places smell like urine, which hopefully, eventually, they clean up.

Love this place. It’s a nice getaway from the strip and lots of locals hangout here. There are plenty of local vendors and street performers including a few stages with live band.

This place is a party that never stops. During the evening when the lights comes on is the perfect time to visit but it’s also the busiest time, can be very crowded. There are many bars around from where you can get drinks and frozen cocktails. There are also many street shows that you can watch some of them are great.

Catalin J — Google review

The Fremont experience is a fun way to step back into time in real Las Vegas. Of course, the side shows located throughout expect tips as this is a big source of their income. There is a much bigger law enforcement presence on Fremont Street these days, making it better to be down there. This is not to say that you won’t see sex, drugs, etc but you are in Sin City. If you bring your kiddos, be prepared to have lots of conversations explaining about the birds and the bees. lol

This place is a MUST GO. Everyone was telling me to check out “old Vegas” prior to my trip there. It didn’t seem appealing as I really want to just go to the strip but we decided to check it out. Wow. The energy here is immaculate, and the drinks are literally half the price compared to the strip. Not to mention this place is visually stunning. We ended up spending most of our time here. The casinos, drinks, and people are just all outstanding. If you’re trying to not spend a ton of money while still having a good time and getting a taste of Vegas, this is your spot. Highlight of my weekend and will be back for sure.

Great music, street performers, bright lights, and restaurants. This > the strip. Amazing how clean they keep it given the amount of foot traffic. Went twice both times around 6 or 7pm and stayed until 10 or 11. Wouldn't consider bringing a child here during these times. Not sure what is like during the day.

In Fremont Street Experience you get overwhelmed with a heap of lights and sounds. It is a section of Fremont Street, one of the first streets to be developed in the historical part of Downtown Las Vegas, that was closed to the traffic to turn it into a pedestrian mall and covered with a barrel vault canopy between 1994 and 1995. The LED panels were installed in 2004 and upgraded in 2019 to achieve greater brightness and definition: the 130.000 square feet of displays make it the world's largest video screen. There's also a zip line running just below the canopy at different heights.

Get away from the Vegas Strip and come on down to Downtown & Fremont Street Experience. Make sure to take time enjoy all of the neon art signs that are everywhere. Great neon! Lively time, hipster vibe and lots to see and do and eat and drink and party and smoke and whatever you want to do, well almost. Live music, DJs, street artists and performers of all sorts ... Just be aware of your purse or wallet against pick pockets if you stop to watch something. Great alternative to the crush of the Vegas Strip. You can walk it easy up and back and spend a couple of hours or all day or night. Well worth doing if you have never been.

A lot going on but it is great!Went on a Friday evening, so this place was jumping.Lots of bands, street performances and a few people showing a lot of flesh!The lights in the celling are amazing. Definitely worth a visit, if for nothing else, it’s a great spot to people watch.Rob recommends: walking up and down the street a few time to see all the chaos!

Roberto K — Google review

Pros: amazing energy! people are there to have a good time and a good time you will have! the light shows are captivating, so much live music happening, walkable without being exhausting. there is a large/consistent police presence. Sometimes people have a problem with the street performers but from everything that I saw, they weren’t aggressive or trying to force you to interact with them if you clearly weren’t interested. something that i loved was there were trash cans every 20-30 feet and i saw someone walking around and emptying them multiple times, it really resulted in a very clean street. HUGE FANCons: Pretty consistent smell of weed, doesn’t bother me but it might bother some people. you’re going to see your fair share of homeless people and tweakers but like i mentioned before, there is a large police presence. you can’t carry around any alcoholic beverage unless it is in a plastic cup! no cans, no glass.Everyone should go, i liked it more than the strip

We loved this experience. Wow, it's a lot of glitter & glam. We saw 2 performers and both were awesome on the stage near one end. We played the $50-$60 to do the zip line laying down. Fun! Several street performers were there. Since really good, others not so much. We parked 2 blocks away for $3 (2 hrs) and walked in.

Scott F — Google review

Taking Vegas to a whole other level, like surround sound for the senses…A full sensory experience!The projected light and visual show on the ceiling throughout is spectacular combined with the piped in music. All while the vendors & performers lure in the crowds and entertain.So much going on…concerts, mime robots, jugglers, lots of beefcake showcasing their tanned sculpted & Botox bods. All that & All you can eat Prime-Rib dinner & Gambling 24/7 …you can’t lose when you are a winner!Where are the roller skaters? Next time

We had a blast roaming up and down this area. Lots of great live music, street performers, places to eat, and shops. There’s a festival type of vibe. I recommend and would definitely come back. The Deuce bus runs between here and the Strip every 15-minutes. We got a 24-hour pass for $8 each.

Lisa B — Google review

Very cool to see old Vegas, but while feeling totally safe. You can still find inexpensive buy-ins for the tables, reasonably priced beer and food. The video screen above Fremont is amazing, but the live bands, street performers, and people watching really make this a spot to check out. Definitely worth the short cab ride from the strip.

Rob C — Google review

Super fun experience (not age-appropriate environment for kids). The viva vision light show was mesmerizing. We came at 8:00pm on a Sunday. Free concerts during the time that we went. There were many talented street performers. There were also quite a few ladies and gentlemen dressing in sexy outfits. We also did caricature for $20/person

Hoang-Giang N — Google review

BEST PLACE IN LAS VEGAS! JUST WOW! This place is such an amazing night out! Live music was great. The roof with light shows and displays runs the whole street and is so cool! There is a brilliant atmosphere too! Small children and adults alike were having a blast! We got drinks from a bar right next to the stage in the middle which on the surface seemed pricey but actually a pint of strong cocktail for 25 dollars was the only drink we needed for the night! Just amazing!

Crazyauntlife — Google review

I really enjoyed walking down Fremont Street. However when going on a weekend it becomes very crowded. I enjoyed going in and out of the hotels and watching the people zip line above. I recommend that if you want to do that, buy tickets in advance. Unfortunately we were unable to go. We did go to a bar that had karaoke and we really enjoyed that. The entertainer did a great job keeping everyone evolved! She was one of the best I had seen. The only reason as to why I am saying 4 stars is because the people who stand in the circles need to know their place. The one guy grabbed my sisters arm and would not let go. She obviously did want to take a picture with you. She told you "no" and you continued to try. If people want to take pictures with you then they will come to you. Don't sit and try grabbing someone. Not acceptable.

Museum

The Mob Museum is a Las Vegas museum which tells the story of organized crime in America. It features exhibits on gangs, law enforcement efforts against them, and real-life artifacts from throughout history.

This was a great experience! It’s fun for all ages which is nice. They even have a secret password for the day to enter in the underground bar the fun way through the back outside for the 21+ crowd. It’s packed full of history and every level has videos and interacting exhibits with cost a little more but so worth it. The best thing is once you get a general admissions ticket, you have access to the museum all day until they close. Absolutely recommend this as a must see in Vegas!

Yvonne D — Google review

Interesting museum. They have 3 floors of history and allow an interactive experience as well. Well done here. There are a lot of visitors so I would say go early in the week and early in the day. It was pretty packed but well planned and lots of great information. You can easily spend over 3 hours looking at the various exhibits.We did the shooting experience that was cool. They have a nice gift shop as well.

T B — Google review

Super interesting and amazing museum !!! I love all things crime and this museum was dope. It was less than five minutes from my hotel and admission to get in took less than a minute. It had a lot of exhibits and information. It has three floors and has all sorts of artifacts. I loved this museum, definitely a visit if you’re into true crime while in Vegas!

Ashley — Google review

I have been to Vegas twice before this visit, and no one wanted to come here with me. I am so glad that I was able to come. This place is full of history. The videos,clips, and stories are so interesting. A must visit place

Emily H — Google review

The restored neoclassical post office & then courthouse is where the Mob Museum resides near Fremont Street.We took our time viewing and reading the many displays in the three stories the museum fills. Very informative and fun tour. $8 to park in the lot next to the museum for two hours. Mob museum underground bar is pretty cool as well. Numerous restaurants nearby.

William D — Google review

The museum experience is very enlightening and quite in depth. Definitely plan on at least 2 to 4 hours to go through most of it. Quite a bit of reading but also lots of photographs and display as well. You absolutely must go to the speakeasy and try one of their prohibition era cocktails. Decent little food selection as well. Bartenders are all dressed and quite capable.

Randy S — Google review

This was such a cool experience! Loved learning about the mob and history of Vegas. You can walk through at your own pace. Set aside 1-3 hours. Lots of artifacts, short clips, and audio recordings. We got the premier passes that include two interactive experiences. We chose the crime lab for me and the distillery tour for my husband. Worth it if you have the time. The crime lab goes over bullet analysis, fingerprints, and forensic analysis of a crime. The distillery tour goes over how spirits are made. You get small samples of the products made in their facility with the option to buy bottles if you wish. We stopped over at The Underground speakeasy for some drinks after the tour. I had the Bathtub Fizz and my husband had The Underground Old Fashioned hidden in some light reading material.Tip: Highly recommend getting your tickets in advance! $10 ticket discount for visits between 9-11 am or after 5 pm.

S S — Google review

I have been wanting to go to The Mob Museum forever and finally made it happen this last trip. The highlight for me was the the Underground Speakeasy. The cocktails are amazing. I enjoyed the Moonshine Distillery tour and many other exhibits as well. This is a great way to get off the strip and soak up some history (and moonshine).

Brandy N — Google review

This is totally up my alley I love mob movies and have read so much about them so being able to go to something like this was definitely on my bucket list! The courthouse, the hand written notes, photos ,stories and so on were just amazing! You have to sit in the electric chair and have someone pull the handle without them knowing it makes a noise and our group definitely had fun with that! Great time and they have a bar downstairs! So cool!

Andrea N — Google review

Very well done 👏 Very clean, extremely well ran, beautiful historic building. I loved the many levels of this museum with tons of interesting rooms full of info on the gangs, police, murders, prohibition, and even Vegas at that time. Beautiful displays, and the interactive court room was really cool. Be sure to visit the speak easy after. Do the police lineup photo at the beginning, it's not expensive to buy! The gift shop is awesome, I grabbed a few things before leaving. Very very well done.

Jennifer G — Google review

If you're looking for a non-gaming activity in Vegas, this place is a great choice. Very clean place, and ticketing was organized and quick. You'll have 3 floors of self-guided touring, so you can go as fast or slow as you want to. There are places along the way to grab a seat and watch informative videos. There are also spots inside to grab a drink or snacks. The exhibits very well done. Glad we added this place to our list of events while visiting the city.

Katina W — Google review

This museum far exceeded my expectations! Lots of interesting information about the history of the mob and cool things on display. We did two of the extra activities (crime lab and distillery tour) and found them to be enjoyable. Crime lab was a little cheesy but interesting. The STAFF is incredibly nice and welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. The nice woman (I believe Minnie was her name) greeted us this morning and took time to ask how we were doing and where we were from. I personally didn’t enjoy the taste of the moonshine but many did. You can purchase as well. Very well done museum!

ME T — Google review

I was disappointed in this one. First we did not visit the speakeasy or do any of the extra side stuff they have just the basic tour. The exhibit was pretty boring mostly just text and images put on a wall hardly any historic items or memorabilia. The place was super busy which is kind of annoying when you are trying to read everything. I would break the museum down like this, it's 90% text on a wall, 5% cheesy videos and touch screen, 3% prop, 2% actual historical items.I was pretty excited for this but left disappointed, yeah it has a lot to teach you but the exhibits aren't very engaging they definitely could put more actual historical stuff in to make it shine.

Laffy M — Google review

Super cool and amazing history museum of the MOB. You can easily spend hours here reading and seeing everything they have. Well worth the money. To start out with you, you will need to pay for parking outside. I believe it was like $8-$10. Once inside, you will be asked if you want the basic tour $30 or the premier $48. I suggest the premier for the full experience. It gets pretty busy during the afternoon, so I will suggest going really early or late past 5 pm. There is like 3 or floors with different things to see and experience. Make sure to check out the underground speakeasy on the bottom floor and try out their unique drinks. You can also grab a bite to eat there as well. Overall it was an amazing experience. Love it all. Definitely coming back and bringing my friends to it.

David B — Google review

Very interesting and informative experience. I need to go back and spend about 3x as much time there, an hour and a half wasn't enough to digest everything properly if you want to study and understand. It should be enough time for a quick walkthrough. The speakeasy sounded fun, but didn't have time to visit. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Great visit!

Juan L — Google review

Highly recommend!! Fantastic production quality, the entire experience was interesting and kept us entertained the entire time we were here. I’m amazed at how well everything in the museum was put together and on display. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Vegas.I think buying premium tickets is worth the price. If you are law enforcement you even qualify for a discount. Or if you visit after 5pm there are discounted tickets.Things to keep in mind:-This is a self-guided tour experience.-The content is extensive, so you may want to allot at least 4 hours. We went at 6:45pm and didn’t finish in time, as the location closed at 9pm.-The museum is located near Fremont. May be a good place to spend the day if you’re on vacation and in the area.

VISITED MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2023Because my twin and I are from the city of Chicago, we decided to checkout this museum. Certainly, not a disappointed. Lots of interesting information from the begining of the mobster era until the downfall. However, I'm sure it still exists but not as obvious as before. Yes, you will learn a lot of how it came to Las Vegas but other parts of the country as well. Be forewarned that there a lot of gruesome images that are not for your little ones. Frankly, I wouldn't be my kids unless they are in their teens but even then I wouldn't want them to be influenced. Also, if you ask, they will tell you it takes a few hours, but I believe if you wanted to read everything and see everything, it would take half a day.Also, if you are military or a student, be sure to use to get a nice discount. It's a $30 ticket for general admission. There is also a speak easy where you can drink and have a meal. Pretty cool!OVERALL: Be sure to check out while in Vegas

CG F — Google review

Thought it would just be okay, turned out to be fantastic. I would recommend, quite interesting history, and done in a really interesting way. There are things to read, little movies, artifacts, etc. you can rent the audio tour for $5, we did not and we're still there 3 hours without staying to have a drink on the speakeasy.

Michael D — Google review

Great experience for those who enjoy the Prohibition era and mobsters in general!!There's also a bar with a speakeasy vibe in the basement 🥃The museum is a short walk from the Deuce bus stop, but expect delays.. the museum was understanding and honored our early morning, reduced fare tickets (arrival before 11am)! Much better in the morning as there was a line for tickets when we exited around 1:30pm

It was such a fun time! And I feel like I learned so many cool things! Definitely recommend! The speak easy is so cool and they have live jazz!! Plus your tickets last the whole day! Also if your a local you get a great discount!!

Interesting and interactive activity. I got the package with the two interactive experiences (training + crime lab) and I had a blast. I wish I had more time to explore the museum— so much information, so many interesting facts are presented! I feel like I had to run through the floors in the 3.5 hours spent there. I would definitely need to go back get and explore more.

Elena I — Google review

I've always wanted to visit, and it was so much more than I expected. Honestly, we all know about the mobs touch in Vegas. Hell, there are movies about it. But to actually see in depth was pretty awesome. My favorite had to be the Flamingo room.I also got the distillery experience for my boyfriend and I.It was Very cool, moonshine is not as bad as I thought. They also are only two streets away from Fremont St. Definitely check it out!

Alison ( — Google review

Went in with friends, Nevada residents get a discount! We went with premier for the experience and WOW was it worth while! We started with the speak easy that turned out to be the wrong idea- as theirs a secret knock to learn to get in the back door 😉 the fire arms bit was extremely fun and interactive for anyone wishing to try it. And the distillery tour gets you "buzzed" and ready for the rest of the walk for the 4 floors of history and fun. Anyone in the family will surely have fun coming here, that's a promise!!

Patrick W — Google review

genuinely a great experience! they had so much information about mobs, especially mobs in Vegas! they also had mini videos every so often and fun experiences! i definitely recommend doing the crime lab!

Juli S — Google review

Very interesting and loved the self tour, also the different experiences. 👌 will definitely visit again. Take at least 3-4 hours of your time so you can visit everything. The restaurant in the basement is very dark so be prepared to need a flashlight to see menu. Could use more help, staff was not available and didn't wait on us for awhile... some people got up and left due to no wait staff. Other than that everything else was very cool.

Apachemix L — Google review

This was on our list of places to visit. You definitely need to go here. This museum is very well put together and very informative. You will need a minimum of 2 hours to see everything. There is a nice gift shop as you get to the end. The staff was wonderful and they really enhanced the self guided tour. There is an elevator of you need assistance. Don't miss this place!!!

Donna S — Google review

Great experience on learning about the history of the mob. So much to see and learn. 3 floors of exhibits. Well worth the admission price. If I had more time I would've loved to visit their speakeasy in the lower level... but after spending 2+ hours soaking up good history I ran out of time before dinner reservations. Highly recommended.

What an incredible learning experience. The staff is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their specific area with complete timelines.The amount of artifacts contained in this museum is simply astounding. The details that is presented with each artifact is unlike anything I have ever seen.I highly recommend including the audio as part of your tour. Allow a minimum of 3 plus hours to take advantage of what they have to offerI highly recommend visiting this museum.

Highly recommended! A great way to spend a few hours away from the heat of Las Vegas.3 floors and a basement. The way that the presentations and memorabilia were put together, are superbly done. One of the best exhibits/museums that I have ever been to.The staff was also amazing, very friendly and helpful here. Elevators and flights of stairs, with multiple bathrooms available.We also chose to do the crime lab and distillery package. Don't forget the very cool speakeasy down in the basement as well, for an amazing beverage or a snack.

Rick F — Google review

Staff was very friendly. We got there at 10:30 am and it was already quite busy so be aware of that. 3 floors of winding exhibit so there is a lot to see and take in. There are lots of photographs, video, and artifacts from the time period. It was a fun experience. The speak easy was nice and the staff there were very friendly and service was excellent.

Michael M — Google review

The mob museum was probably one of my most enjoyable experiences during my most recent trip to Las Vegas. This is an immersive experience, located inside of an old courthouse, which adds to the experience. There is multiple floors of exhibits with everything from early mob history of the East, Chicago, prohibition, and the beginning of Las Vegas there’s an exhibit on modern racketeering. the gift shop at the end is cool and there’s also a speakeasy in the basement and coffee shop located next to the court room. They have lots of great artifacts. Buying tickets in advance streamlined the entry process and there’s a parking lot next-door that you do have to pay to park at you can even take a picture in a real electric chair used for executions. If you were interested in history or true crime, this is definitely the place to stop and spend a few hours.

Bill K — Google review

A fascinating place to visit. Informative and educational, you get the history of Las Vegas, the Mob and their influences, Prohibition, and Law Enforcement. The Bootleg Distillery Tour is well worth it, and Kimberley our host was exceptional. Also visit Underground, the Speakeasy - great food and drink.

Brett C — Google review

We had always heard good things about the MOB museum here in Vegas. We bought tickets in advance and it made the journey way easier. Parking is 8 dollars and it's a small lot so plan accordingly. With the pre purchased tickets we walked right in and got started. There are 3 floors of interactive exhibits. There are videos and a lot of reading. Some real great information some people may know and definitely learned a few things as well. Plenty of videos to watch as well. They had a guest speaker giving talks every hour and it was great. Hopefully he's there for a while for others to enjoy. We did the moonshine tasting as part of our tour and the speakeasy is right across the hall if you have time for a drink. Overall it was a good experience and a good time.

This place was amazing. I loved it. There were so many cool things to see. You can also take part in a firearm simulation experience. Which I did, and it was awesome and educational. You also participate in forensics. This place is cool as hell 😎 Giving you a whole lot of mobsters vibes and education ‼️

Shamika B — Google review

What a great experience! Such a rich history of how the mob came to be and insight into why they are still around today. Live speaker, Frank Calabrese Jr, was also there to speak about his life being in the mob and his relationship with his father and how of affected his life. Truly stunning was how what his father did for the mob, as a contact killer, changed his father into a sociopath. I was mesmerized. Definitely not to be missed.

Emma B — Google review

We loved the mob museum. It was cool on a hot day, had refreshments for sale, and enough places to sit down along the way that we did not hurt our feet.I super appreciate that you start at the top and work your back down to the first floor, it really minimizes the amount of times you bump into other people!The staff was helpful & friendly (and offered to take a picture for us in front of the courtroom), the museum is FULL of well done exhibits and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We bought tickets when we arrived and had no problem getting in on a Friday afternoon at the end of May.

Laura M — Google review

It was a great experience learning how the mob really operates. Our church group did the scavenger hut competition, which means look,listen,read, and learn. The coffee shop was a good pick me up. Sitting in the courtroom was awesome. I highly recommend this place. There is more to Las Vegas than casinos.

Emma B — Google review

Absolutely loved it!! We spent about three hours here. There are three floors and it is all encompassing. It covers everything from early immigration to current day headlines. There were so may interesting displays, short (3 minute or less) films and actual physical items, both real and prop. They also have a couple interactive areas as well. This is a can't miss if you are in Vegas!

Ron H — Google review

This was such a great experience. Loved hearing about the history, then to see it and even sit in it was captivating. It wasn't super busy and would encourage buying tickets ahead of time for cheaper deals, but it's still worth it. They have little hideaway video areas. A lot of information but still interactive experience. I would go back it's not one of those you go once and never go back. And I really enjoyed the gift shop so many options.

Kristina H — Google review

Wish we had more time to read up on all that was displayed. We did the crime lab, which was very cool. Took a chance on the distillery, if you like moonshine, you're in luck. It was neat to see how it's made and was very informative and hostess was entertaining.

Melanie M — Google review

Very informative learning experience! Learnt a lot about the mobs that once were and how Vegas in a way came to be, because of these mobs! Interesting and worth the time! We didn’t do the extra activities at extra cost but enjoyed the general admission enough! Recommend it!

Chosani M — Google review

This was one of the speakeasies we wanted to visit in Vegas and we were not disappointed. Located in the basement of the Mob museum and decorated in the prohibition Era. We enjoyed the cocktails that we ordered. We really liked the sliders that we ordered as well. There's a moonshine distillery also located in the lounge. We needed a password to enter, which gave it that authentic feel. You can enter through the museum or use the secret door out back.

Kino J — Google review

Great experience and museum. We enjoyed this very much. Participated in the distillery tasting experience and highly recommend it! Also, visited the speakeasy after the tasting that was neat. Spent about 4 hours there in total and walked through it at our own pace.

Bridge

Sights & Landmarks

The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as Hoover Dam Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat spanning the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The four-lane highway bridge stretches 1,500 feet long and stands at an impressive height of 890 feet above the river. It boasts of the world's tallest concrete columns and holds the title for being the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

If you're in the area, be sure and check out the Hoover dam. It was very fun walking across the large bridge and taking photos of the edge. There's a short set of steps that will take you up to the bridge. I counted them and it was 69 steps. They even have ramps. If you can't do the steps. Neat place to go see. Very peaceful and wonderful views.

Roxi B — Google review

Come here for the view. Hold onto your hats, bags, & phones because the wind up here can be crazy (At least when we went, Mid April). Beware you do have to climb some stairs or weed through the paved uphill path until you start making it to the bridge. It's a beautiful sight to see. There are other spots to stop and take photos as well.

Sam S — Google review

If you want the most absolutely incredible photos of the Hoover Dam then you have got to stop here. It’s free first off so that’s a plus, and it’s a short walk up to the top. Thankfully they have both stairs and ramps to make it earlier to access for everyone. Absolutely breathtaking views for as far as you can see. An absolute must stop if you’re going to check out the dam.

Brian J — Google review

My daughter and I stopped here because I've always wanted to see the dam, but she wasn't interested in the actual dam tour. This was a good compromise. The view of the dam was awesome! Very nice stair/ramp area up to the bridge. Just maybe don't go when it's 111° like I did.

Lena G — Google review

I honestly liked walking this bridge more than I did the dam. The sight from up here is magnificent.The walk up is arduous, especially if you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure. I don't recommend the walk up for the physically challenged. If you have kids, be prepared to carry them if they tire easily.They so have ramps for strollers and wheelchairs, it just takes a lot longer than taking the stairs, but still doable. I recommend having someone to help.If you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure, getting to the parking lot of the bridge is not ADA friendly, but still doable.

Great vantage point to view Hoover Dam. Just a short 10 minute walk from the parking area to the bridge. Be aware of some wind gusts from passing cars. Don't forget to look for the Nevada and Arizona border marker on the bridge, I missed it!

Nelson J — Google review

Wow! I have been wanting to see this bridge and view since I moved away from Arizona many years ago!What an amazing view of Hoover Dam!!!And looking straight down to the Colorado River is a bit frightening!!!Parking is totally free, but you do have quite a few stairs to climb to get to the bridge.There are a lot of influence plaques on the building of the bridge and who it is named after.You can walk all the way across. I just wish there was an Arizona sign to take a picture with. Looks like they wanted to continue the walk, but it is blocked.You can easily add this to your trip without driving the rest of the way to Hoover Dam.When you drive over the bridge, you will not even know you are driving near the dam!

Michael H — Google review

Awesome. If you are mobility challenged you might have some difficulty getting up to the bridge. The walk over ks pretry awesome. We got to witness a police chase with stopper sticks across the road. I assume (hope) that's not a usual occurrence. We went about an hour before sunset and there was hardly anyone there. Definitely stop by!

Wow ! What a great view you get of the hoover dam from this bridge. Getting to the parking area is easy with good signage. There is only toilet facilities but no refreshments so do make sure to take plenty of liquid with you as there are a lot of steps, alternatively ramps to walk up.Thank goodness there are seats on most levels. It can get extremely hot so don't forget the sun screen. It's a worthwhile trek but not easy if you have difficulty walking. There is plenty of informational signs and interesting plaques to read where you can take a breather along the way. Great photo opportunities here.

I watched them build this bridge from beginning to end. An absolutely unbelievable feat of Modern Marvel engineering. Took a helicopter ride over it when it was halfway finished. It was just amazing to watch. Finally got to go up there a few years ago and omg! I literally had to hold my cell phone with both hands to keep it from flying off into the incredible winds that come across. Definitely one of the wonders of the world and worth seeing and walking across 👌 🌉 🌁

Bridge

Sights & Landmarks

The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as Hoover Dam Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat spanning the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The four-lane highway bridge stretches 1,500 feet long and stands at an impressive height of 890 feet above the river. It boasts of the world's tallest concrete columns and holds the title for being the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

If you're in the area, be sure and check out the Hoover dam. It was very fun walking across the large bridge and taking photos of the edge. There's a short set of steps that will take you up to the bridge. I counted them and it was 69 steps. They even have ramps. If you can't do the steps. Neat place to go see. Very peaceful and wonderful views.

Come here for the view. Hold onto your hats, bags, & phones because the wind up here can be crazy (At least when we went, Mid April). Beware you do have to climb some stairs or weed through the paved uphill path until you start making it to the bridge. It's a beautiful sight to see. There are other spots to stop and take photos as well.

Sam S — Google review

If you want the most absolutely incredible photos of the Hoover Dam then you have got to stop here. It’s free first off so that’s a plus, and it’s a short walk up to the top. Thankfully they have both stairs and ramps to make it earlier to access for everyone. Absolutely breathtaking views for as far as you can see. An absolute must stop if you’re going to check out the dam.

Brian J — Google review

My daughter and I stopped here because I've always wanted to see the dam, but she wasn't interested in the actual dam tour. This was a good compromise. The view of the dam was awesome! Very nice stair/ramp area up to the bridge. Just maybe don't go when it's 111° like I did.

Lena G — Google review

I honestly liked walking this bridge more than I did the dam. The sight from up here is magnificent.The walk up is arduous, especially if you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure. I don't recommend the walk up for the physically challenged. If you have kids, be prepared to carry them if they tire easily.They so have ramps for strollers and wheelchairs, it just takes a lot longer than taking the stairs, but still doable. I recommend having someone to help.If you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure, getting to the parking lot of the bridge is not ADA friendly, but still doable.

This bridge has a fantastic view of the Hoover Dam that you can park at the Mike O'Callagan-Pat Tillman Memorial Plaza next to the bridge. Set your GPS to the aforementioned Memorial Plaza and you will have access to the bridge.

Great vantage point to view Hoover Dam. Just a short 10 minute walk from the parking area to the bridge. Be aware of some wind gusts from passing cars. Don't forget to look for the Nevada and Arizona border marker on the bridge, I missed it!

Nelson J — Google review

Wow! I have been wanting to see this bridge and view since I moved away from Arizona many years ago!What an amazing view of Hoover Dam!!!And looking straight down to the Colorado River is a bit frightening!!!Parking is totally free, but you do have quite a few stairs to climb to get to the bridge.There are a lot of influence plaques on the building of the bridge and who it is named after.You can walk all the way across. I just wish there was an Arizona sign to take a picture with. Looks like they wanted to continue the walk, but it is blocked.You can easily add this to your trip without driving the rest of the way to Hoover Dam.When you drive over the bridge, you will not even know you are driving near the dam!

Michael H — Google review

Awesome. If you are mobility challenged you might have some difficulty getting up to the bridge. The walk over ks pretry awesome. We got to witness a police chase with stopper sticks across the road. I assume (hope) that's not a usual occurrence. We went about an hour before sunset and there was hardly anyone there. Definitely stop by!

This was a fun experience. I'm afraid of heights so I didn't go too far but the view from the bridge was spectacular. If you are visiting the Las Vegas area, add this site to your trip. Be prepared for high winds.

The bridge is hella scary from above but well worth the walk. Free parking down on the lot just have to climb a lot of stairs once up you can walk back and forth bridge as you like enjoy the view and partake in Thai breath taking view

Mr M — Google review

Wow ! What a great view you get of the hoover dam from this bridge. Getting to the parking area is easy with good signage. There is only toilet facilities but no refreshments so do make sure to take plenty of liquid with you as there are a lot of steps, alternatively ramps to walk up.Thank goodness there are seats on most levels. It can get extremely hot so don't forget the sun screen. It's a worthwhile trek but not easy if you have difficulty walking. There is plenty of informational signs and interesting plaques to read where you can take a breather along the way. Great photo opportunities here.

Nature & Parks

Dams

Built in the 1930s, Hoover Dam is a hydroelectric power plant that provides electricity to residents of Las Vegas and the surrounding area. The dam's creation changed the landscape of the Black Canyon and provided scenic views of Lake Mead. Tours of the dam structure begin at the Hoover Dam Parking Garage & Visitor Center.

What a beautiful location. Wish I had more time but the views are breathtaking! Well cover more ground next time. Paid parking is on the left before the bridge. $10. Free parking is across the dam. I paid for parking since we skipped the visitor center.1-07-2022 Tours are currently closed except for visitor center.

Iconic emblem of the American spirit and engineering ingenuity. A must-see when in the Vegas area.You can easily spend a few hours here at the various lookouts and taking tours. Hadn’t been here in years so this time we saw the multi-level for a few parking garage…great additional. There is also parking along the access road at various points and they’re connected by steps so you can walk your way down to the dam.Highly recommend the visit!

Johnny G — Google review

Absolute marvel of engineering. Definitely worth the drive to go and see it. Upon seeing it and walking across it, you're left to imagine how the people building the dam succeeded in constructing such an incredible piece of history. The visitor's center is worth a stop in as well. Highly recommend this bit of Americana.

Glenn R — Google review

My family and I recently embarked on an excursion to the iconic Hoover Dam, and despite some unexpected twists, it was a memorable experience worth recounting.The weather was windy, adding an extra element of adventure to our journey. Despite the gusts, we had a blast exploring the area together. However, we encountered a slight hiccup when we realized, albeit too late, that only service animals are permitted on the premises. Nevertheless, our husky seemed to relish his scenic walk, adding a touch of charm to our visit.We made our way to one of the many lookout options, eager to immerse ourselves in the rich history and breathtaking views that awaited us. Pausing at the lookout, we took a moment to absorb a brief overview of the dam's history, marveling at the sheer magnitude of human ingenuity and hard work that went into its construction.The panoramic vistas stretched before us, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the remarkable feats achieved by those who came before us. From the towering structure of the dam itself to the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, every aspect of the vista was a testament to human perseverance and determination.Despite the minor setback with our furry companion, our visit to Hoover Dam was an unforgettable experience filled with awe-inspiring sights and cherished family moments. It served as a poignant reminder of the importance of both historical preservation and enjoying the simple pleasures of nature's beauty.

Whether on a trip to Vegas, or just passing through is a tourist attraction that is a must-see. It has beautiful art deco designs, (do not miss the bathrooms on top of the dam), and it is an amazing engineering feat. Take the full dam tour, it is well worth it getting to go inside the tunnels in the dam. The history of the construction is so interesting and impressive and all the guides and employees are knowledgeable and very friendly.

John G — Google review

A must visit, I waited far too long to enjoy this. Tours are good and the whole thing is ran great. Don't go in summer months, the is the same as outside temp. Security check was no big deal and you can still drive across the dam.

Gina B — Google review

A must see! The tour is great! We loved it and the guide was very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Even in the dead of summer, it was hot but manageable. We all like the heat though so it doesn't bother us. Not for the claustrophobic.

Amazing engineering. Nice view from top of the dam and over the bridge (Nevada to Arizona). Roads were amazing. Feel like we’re just floating. Well maintained. Took four years to finish the construction of the dam. Would recommend this place.

Very impressive to see up close. Visitor center has interesting educational exhibits on how the dam was built. I was a little disappointed that the film in the theater was only for those going on the dam tour; I would have liked to have seen that.Clean restrooms and visitor center is accessible.

I was thoroughly impressed with the construction ! The scale of the structure is awe-inspiring, and the views of the Colorado River are breathtaking. A definite must-see for anyone traveling through the area!" In weekends, parking is bit difficult to check the spot and the parking spot costs 10$

This is one of my favorite random places to visit in the country. I don’t know what it is but the sheer size of this thing is so incredible to see in person. I went on a weekday so it wasn’t very busy which was great. There’s lots of parking nearby or you can drive right on over the dam in your car. Overall I’d most definitely recommend visiting this place, it really is a must see!

Ethan U — Google review

It's interesting to see in person. You can purchase one of two different tours to go inside the dam, or you can just walk around outside for free. If you park in the nearby parking garage by the Cafe and gift shop it costs $10.

A beautiful experience. Enjoyed the views as well as just being able to see this dam. Several visitors were here enjoying their day. There are several different areas to park and look at different observation points. I recommend at least 3 good hours to truly enjoy this point of interest.

Hoover dam is one of marvellous modern structures you would see in the world and it was constructed in 1935. You will be astonished after learning more about the dam and its construction, which was a magnificent experience. Definitely recommend taking power plan tour ticket . A guide will accompany you as you explore and provide fascinating details about the dam. It was a great pleasure to tour the power plant and learn about the significance of this magnificent building. The cost of the power plant tour ticket is $15 per person. Near the dam, there is a souvenir shop, cafe, parking garage, and restrooms. Around the dam, there are a number of additional scenic vantage points.

We walked around the free views and exhibits until it was time for our tour. The 1 hour tour was worth it! Our tour guide Dan was great. It was so cool to see them work on one of the turbines. We even got to see the original 1940's exhibit hall. We stopped at the Cafe and got lunch before leaving and that was a dam good burger.

Amazing view and sights! I was surprised that I didn’t see any NCR or Legion forces at the Dam. Mr. House probably drove them out years ago, anyways I would recommend for anyone who likes pretty views and cool history. One thing to note is that it was so hot it would make you wish for a nuclear winter.

Liam N — Google review

I always wanted to visit the Hoover Dam. Loved the visit. It was a super hot day which is expected. We parked in the parking lot on the other side of the dam and walked across the dam. It was a great experience. Please enjoy the pictures.Definitely recommend folks to visit this dam.

Praneet R — Google review

This was my first time going there and it was very exciting. The area is well taken care of and can accommodate large number of visitors very efficiently. There is free parking up the hill on the Arizona side but a bit longer walk. Otherwise you will have to pay $10 to park. We did not do any of the tours just walked around and enjoyed all the free views. Visiting the bridge first I think is better. After the dam we were tired. Bring lots of water with you. Two adults and two children under twelve, decimated 6 bottles of water and we ended up getting dehydrated after 45 minutes. The views are spectacular and the walk a very mice one. My favorite site out west by far so far. It is worth the time. Visit the lake view last.

I held my birthday by bringing a cake on this location and blowing the candle on top of the dam. Such a wonderful experience with my family who are accompanying me on a road trip to Utah for our vacation. This is my first time celebrating my birthday on the road and this experience is memorable.

Edgar I — Google review

Did the $30 hour long tour of the powerhouse and dam. The tour is very simple, straight forward and dumbed down enough that the average 6th grader would appreciate it. The more questions you ask the more technical information you can get. It is worth the time and money to visit such an essential piece of American history.

Dave W — Google review

If you love nature, you'd love these views. You can spend goes walkingthe trails here. Very peaceful and calming. Lots of people come here to visit, so be prepared to enjoy the views with others(lol).There was no entry fee, but parking was $20, and because of the overwhelming amount of people parking can be a lot of riding around to get a spot. The restrooms were clean and the staff was nice and helpful. There are tons of photo opportunities, so take full advantage of that. They offer guided tours, so if you're into that, you can get tickets online.There are so many great things to say about this place, but seeing is believing. If you get the opportunity to go, go, you'll love it!There's a cafe, gift shop,and info center there as well.

Jaz U — Google review

This is my third time visiting and a first for my kids. It’s still just as magnificent and grand to see as the first time. It does cost $10 to park, but well worth it to see the views and read the history of the Dam. You can do tours and recommend purchasing tickets in advance. They have a gift shop and food as well.

Amy ( — Google review

Stopped here on our trip from Phoenix to Vegas. Definitely worth seeing. Wouldn i visit multiple times? Probably not. The bridge lookout was my favorite. The wind was so intense it made it really fun. The water is super blue and that was really awesome to see.I think it's worth seeing atleast once. The ride up the mountains into the dam was really breath taking. We did not do a tour. We just walked around outside and stopped at a bunch of the lookouts. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Ashley D — Google review

Great place to go to see one of the greatest feats of the United States. The history and it's an engineering is a sight to behold. I recommend taking the full tour. It's worth it to see the extent of what this marvel means. A good day out for anyone and the family. It truly humbles the mind.

James S — Google review

Decided to come here early and I’m so glad I did. I definitely missed the crowd. I was going to upgrade to the Dam tour but changed my mind since I still had to head over to the Grand Canyon. The power plant tour was nice but short. They had us watch a mini movie about the making of the Dam which was informative and interesting. Then we were taken down to see the workings of the plant. And that was pretty much it. After that you can explore the grounds and take pictures (you can do this for free without paying for anything). You only pay if you park in the garage and lot 9. All other parking is free but you’d be pretty far from the main area. Those spots are best for picture taking only. I’d definitely recommend. It was well worth the trip.

The Legendary Hoover Dam. Complete with dam tours, a cafe, gift shop, visitors center, and more; it's a must-see. Standing over 720 ft high, the photos here are spectacular. Go early in the day. The dam picks up around 11 and doesn't slow down. Avoid the crowds by getting there around 9 or 10. Don't pay for parking unless someone in your group needs accommodation. The free parking on the Arizona side is a short walk. The free parking is also a short distance from the dam overlook and has its own gift shop, it's less crowded, and there's even an old pill box (machine gun nest) up there. The views are awesome.The cafe prices are not bad for an attraction. Outside food and drink and prohibited to bring into the dam, but you can always have a private picnic up on the overlook with items you brought if you'd like.Security will look in your car. And so they should. The entire southwest depends on the dams operations.Check out the memorial bridge while you're there to get great photos of the face of the dam. It's a few stairs to get up there, but they're not bad, and there are also handicapped accessible ramps. You can also check out the Lake Mead overlook on your way out, which is stunning.Tours for the power plant are $15, and the more intensive tour is $30 when available. The tours include a 10-minute video in their theater and a few elevator rides with other people on your tour. They will pack those elevators tight with people, but the elevator ride is only 70 seconds.Restrooms are plentiful.You can walk on top of the dam, take photos of the outside, and more for free. You only need to buy a ticket if you're going on a tour. There is a lot to see for free. Side note: we looked for the allspark and never found it.Overall, the dam and the memorial bridge are truly a marvel and a must-see. It's budget friendly and jaw-dropping. Enjoy..

Nathan C — Google review

Great DAM experience. You’re able to park in many locations to see the dam. A bit of a walk but good exercise. Lots of people there but still able to get photographs and videos.Lots of history and facts about the dam posted. Security was nice and helpful. Will be visiting again someday!

Lili — Google review

What a beautiful site to behold! What's also a wonderful feat of engineering besides the Hoover Dam is the interstate bridge that hasn't been open for too long that helps alleviate all the traffic the Hoover Dam once took. Unfortunately you can't drive the complete route anymore since it's blocked off on the Arizona side as well as crossing the interstate bridge. Besides those slight let downs, this place is absolutely beautiful, IT'S FREE! unlike the Grand Canyon. You have to get inspected by park Rangers first (department of the interior) and you'll be able to drive in and explore this beautiful masterpiece. This place is being revamped with many things under construction for more tourists to explore in the future. They do have a gift shop on the Arizona side as well. Highly recommend binoculars too. Something you have to just see. It is a miracle of modern engineering.

Charles A — Google review

It was an amazing experience to be inside such a well-known monument! We went on a tour within the dam and saw both the original construction and significant features of the finished project. The incredible engineering that went into this dam is truly put into perspective when you see it in person. This is one of those things you just have to see once, therefore I strongly advise you to see it in person. Warning: there are a lot of dam jokes made by the guides.

We came here on the long weekend with 10 plus family members we bought tickets to the tour for $15 each it was good but I wish the elevator was working It was tough for the old people walking on steps other than that tour went well and parking we paid $10.

Stopped to look at it from the walk way. Drive to get through the security check point and find a parking place took about 20 minVery impressive Dam, so huge ! It was about 90 deg this day with strong winds. Which I brought water with me but there are some drinking fountains along the walk way. I did go a level below to see the visitor center but once down there was told it is closed for renovations and only those for the tours were allowed.

The Hoover Dam is an absolute must-see! From the moment you lay eyes on this iconic marvel, you're immediately captivated by its sheer size and beauty. The guided tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and engineering behind this incredible structure. Walking along the top of the dam, with the Colorado River below, is a breathtaking experience that will stay with you forever. The views are simply spectacular, and the sense of awe and wonder is palpable. Whether you're a history buff, an engineering enthusiast, or just someone looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Hoover Dam delivers on every level. A true masterpiece of human achievement!

Thea — Google review

One of America’s famous and most iconic engineering wonders… The sheer size of the dam is huge and you must see it for yourself in person as no camera can truly capture the largeness of it! The surrounding landscape looks like Mars with the desert and orange rocks around it. The Colorado River running through also adds to the uniqueness of the landscape. You can get a guided tour inside the dam or just walk on top of it for free. I didn’t do a guided tour but I sure did enjoy walking around and admiring the architecture and landscape.Did you know that water never goes down when you try to pour it down into the dam? I heard on the internet that water never goes down when you pour it down and it just comes back up due to the wind updraft from the bottom of the dam. While I was here, I tested this myth and tried pouring a water bottle off the dam and it surely indeed came right back up!The parking on the Arizona side is fairly easy to find and it’s free but it’s quite a walk to the dam from the parking lot. When you enter the dam you will pass through an inspection booth on the entrance road.I highly recommend visiting the Hoover Dam if you are in Vegas. The drive here is only an hour from the Strip. Overall a pretty (DAM) cool place. (Get it?)

Kiet T — Google review

The $30 tour was a 2.5 hour wait so we did the $15 tour. We arrived at 9:00 am. When we left, the parking was full and they were turning people away so it’s best to get there early and get there first thing if you want to go on the $30 tour with no wait. They could sure use an update on the video. Seems like it’s about 50 years old.

Just on a random drive to Vegas and we randomly had time to drive to this historical place to finally see. And yeah it was chill driving to and also driving on this road to the Hoover Dam. If we have more time next time we'll definitely walk it also. Great times tho ✌️

Hoover Dam is pretty impressive and and a really cool historical site. The dam is huge and a great place to walk around. You will do A LOT of walking here so wear good shoes and use sunscreen. It was not too busy when I went so finding a parking spot was easy. If you are going to be in the area, I recommend stopping here for an hour or two.

Rosie T — Google review

Awesome piece of architecture. 10$ parking unless you park on the AZ side. The visitor center is currently being renovated but you can still access all other public areas. You have to go through security and are subject to searches. Essentially they want to ensure you are not bringing in weapons on drones, which is a good measure. Worth a stop if you are in the area. The best views are from the bridge in my opinion.

This review is for the Bull Ring. It is an awesome time. Very inexpensive entry tickets. You sit close to the track and see all the action. Prior to the race all the cars and drivers are on the track and you can speak to the drivers and look at the cars. The stands are very nice and comfortable and not crowded. The facilities are clean as are the restrooms. They allow outside food and drinks but they do want to look in your bags for security. Some of the races can be very loud so don't forget ear protection.

Sooooo Awesome!!!! I absolutely loved the Nascar race! It does get very hot so wear sunscreen and a sun hat or something. Highly highly recommend. But totally worth it. They have all kinds of snacks and drinks along with every race cars merchandise. Great atmosphere and a super fun time! Parking is free and there's really not a bad view anywhere, I would suggest somewhat higher up in order to see the back stretch but anywhere you sit you're going to have a great time.

Went here with 6 other friends. I’m the only diehard NASCAR fan out of the group so I feared that the tour would be boring to everybody else but honestly this was the best thing we did all vacation! Our tour guide was extremely nice and every person we talked to at the track and in the gift shop were as nice as they could be. It makes me want to come back just to see a race. Keep up the fantastic work!!! Signed, 1 happy fan and 6 brand new fans.

I had a blast here on a Saturday; they had a bring your car to the track day. There were lots of cool cars and the weather was perfect. This place is huge, and there is always something happening here .

Great Christmas lights! Sit in your car and enjoy the lights as you drive around.I would suggest a little better training for the folks directing traffic as one of them almost sent us back to the start. That and they really make sure to tell people to turn off their car lights. Other than that lovely experience.

This is the one and only Speedway that my family and I have ever been to...so I can't compare it to others; however, we can honestly say that we love this Speedway enough, along with the NASCAR events, that we continuously come back at least twice a year (March and September NASCAR events). The facility itself and the food vendors during these events are excellent. Aside from dealing with the normal, "painful" traffic during departure, the experience is great and we never have any issues.

Dallas M — Google review

It was a great experience! The only thing i would've love to see was stands to buy something to eat. I get that I was there to spectate the drifting, which it was a great price to, but it would've been better to have food and merchandise stands.

Excellent weekend! Team Shelby Bash track day! Had a great time! Nice track, the women in the first ship were very helpful, spent some serious money there! So many options! I filmed from the passenger seat*

Have been here many times for events. It’s more expensive every year. I was charged for things I did not purchase from vendors. One charge was for 3 popcorns when I purchased a single cotton candy for my daughters. I had to dispute these charges with my bank. I’m on the fence on going back for events. Or just not spending money on anything. Also they change rules on what can and can’t come in. I read the rules and no where did it state canned soda was prohibited. All the soda I packed was confiscated. When I was walking to my seat I saw many vendors selling canned soda….. yet it was explained to me for safety purposes they were not allowing any in and it was a last minute decision….. if they are going to change the rules a simple email would have been nice. Instead I had to purchase over 80 dollars for my family and I to have a drink. The prices for water and a simple soda are insane.

Good track. Cashless. So bring your empty credit cards because stuff is EXPENSIVE!!! I've been to better tracks. But this track is a must visit at least once. Before you even have to show your tickets, you can go and shop around at the Haulers and "hang out," which is cool 😎 Great mountain views on the way and at the track. Free parking. Overall, it was a great fun day as always at a Nascar track 😍

Melissa K — Google review

Had a great weekend. NHRA was awesome. The biggest complaint I have is that all the standing and smoking in the stands. Security did a great job when they caught people however people if u didn’t pay for that seat why are u sitting in it. Also be considerate of standing in front of someone. Saturday they sent security home early and it was like a free for all on people sitting wherever they wanted and standing in front of people sitting. The race was awesome to watch!

We had a great time at the track and lived the seating. Ir was an awesome race and we had great views from our seating area.

What an experience! We had VIP passes, plus grid access. If you’ve never seen NASCAR this close, do it! All food and drinks are located in the center, which is slightly inconvenient. This is the only place to purchase. You will see a celebrity or two. It was awesome!!

Kari R — Google review

This was our first time here and we were amazed. Great fan experience, tons of team and driver merchandise, food, drink, although all of it is ridiculously priced, it's still a great time. Good vending inside and out, nice bathrooms, friendly and helpful guest services. Nice track, too. We had good seats in the disabled section. Spinning a wheel, we won track access tickets in the entry area. That was great! Bring a hat, sunglasses, water, ear protection and a fat wallet, you'll need them all!

Great experience sponsored by the LabWare during their North American Customers Education Conference. We had the chance to go on track with professional drivers on cars like Ferrari, Porsche GT 4 and GT 3, Corvette and Audi R10 etc. There was also the chance to get onto cars that took us on a drfting experience. Very cool. This was organized in collaboration with Dream Racing

NASCAR race was awesome on a early March day despite the wind. To not only see, but to hear, feel the roar, and smell the burnt rubber...the experience was awesome.Be sure not to forget your debit card because they don't take cash, which was my only disappointment.

Ride share area needs to be supervised as rogue operators park on the roadway. Experience in the speedway was great, with plenty of choice for food and drink. Off course fan zone was vast and interesting, something for everyone

Rita A — Google review

We have never been to a NASCAR race, so this was our first of hopefully many more. We received two VIP suite tickets with roof access for our anniversary from our resort. These tickets allowed us all the food and drinks we wanted and a tour of the garage area, pit row, and much more. We loved it. If NASCAR wants to give us VIP suite tickets to other races, then we are in. We got spoiked, and I don't think I would enjoy it as much on the regular seats. The suites are the way to go.

Great seats everywhere in all of the stadiums. Lots of food, beer, and bar options. Wear sunscreen, hat, ear foamies, and glasses for events. You can bring in your own ice water and bag of stuff. General parking is free. Expect it to take 45 minutes to leave from the parking lot.

5/17/2024 - 5/20/2024EDC was the party and LV Motor Speedway was the place. Great music with 1000s of amazing people practicing PLUR (peace, love, unity, respect). I don't know if I'll get to come to EDC Vegas again but it was a grand highlight in my life's movie reel . Special thanks to Insomniac, the folks that run the speedway, and my EDC family that adopted me for this event.

Aaron P — Google review

This place is great to watch a race and to be with friends. The access they allow you to have to the cars and trailers and pit road is amazing. When NASCAR is in town there are a lot of things to do with different vendors outside the ticket gates and plenty of food choices when you're inside the ticket gates. I would recommend getting a ticket to the neon garage. There are a lot of things to do and you can hang out there and watch the race on big screen TVs, play some games and watch the cars if they come into the garage. That's also where they do Victory Lane and that's a pretty cool experience to see. I'm not giving this place a five-star review because the food inside is too high priced for what they give you. You pay $18 for a hamburger that's less than McDonald's quality. If I'm paying $18 for a hamburger, I expected to have something closer to like Red Robin or Longhorn Steakhouse type quality, not less than McDonald's.

Perry B — Google review

Enjoyed the prerace activities in the infield. Seats are good, easy access. I was disappointed at the lack of food concessions being open on the different levels. Good views from our fourth turn seats.

Lawrence C — Google review

Can't believe this was my fourth EDC and this event just fills up the speedway more and more every year. From when it was just 4 to 5 stages to what it is now with Quantum Valley and Wasteland added and many more. Can't wait to be back next year!

The 4-wide was the reason we came to Vegas. I absolutely loved everything about the event and speedway! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food truck diversity was fantastic. The entire atmosphere was amazing! Cannot say enough good things about this place.The only thing I must suggest is to train the parking lot attendants/people directing traffic on where the event is and where the entrances are.

Nature & Parks

Valley of Fire State Park is a natural wonder located approximately 50 miles from Fremont Street Experience. It spans across 40,000 acres and features stunning red Aztec sandstone formations, petrified trees, and ancient Native American petroglyphs at Atlatl Rock. This Nevada state park was the first to receive official designation in 1935 and has been sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years.

Valley of fire State Park! Wow I can't even begin to describe the beauty of this place. Here is just a few pics of it. First of all it is the most peaceful and quiet place. It looks like it's not even real at all. The weather was just perfect and sunny. I would advise you to wear enclosed shoes and have some water on you if you decide to hike around. There are wildlife out here like snakes etc so be careful of the holes in the ground. Also make sure you have enough gas in the tank Because it's a long way to a gas station and cell service might not be the best out there.

Stephanie L — Google review

This has to be one of my all time favorite places. We got there early morning. The park was quiet and our first hike was amazing on the White Domes trail. The Narrows was definitely my favorite part of this trail. Everywhere you look is something interesting. This whole park is amazing and if you drag it out could spend a whole day here. Hikes are easy and most everyone we came across was friendly.

Toni R — Google review

This a hidden gem - a must visit, especially if you are traveling from Vegas to Zion - a short detour that’s worth every bit. Spectacular views and short easy hikes. If you are visiting during summer be mindful of the weather and carry loads of water or fill up at the visitor center. Entrance is 15$ (2022) for private vehicle. Spend up to 3-4hrs to see most points

Abdul S — Google review

A must see in the Vegas area. So beautiful and astonishing. Colorful and awesome. It's a state park, you can't use your annual pass here. It's an extra fee but absolutely worth it. We have been here several times and would always return. It's an about 1 1/2 hours drive from Vegas, we always do it on our way to other parks. If you want to see all and hike, at least plan half a day, but you can also just take the scenic drive in and out.

D H — Google review

Absolutely beautiful, paradise for a photographer. I would recommend going as early as possible to catch the sunrise, there are some spots that are just awesome. The hikes are not crazy difficult, so you can do them with the gear. My must visit spots are the mouse tank road (right before rainbow vista), fire wave hike and just drive all the way down in mouse tank road, totally worth it.We went during end of September and at 8am the sun was high enough that we felt it was 2 pm, so carry water.

Pranay D — Google review

Valley of Fire is beautiful and has a good amount of easy to moderate difficulty trails along with more challenging options. There is a lot of variation in environment and the visitors center provides a good overview of the history of the park and the animals and rocks that are a part of the area.There are restrooms and shaded picnic tables at several of the parking areas.

Chelsea S — Google review

Valley of fire is such a beautiful spot! I've gone about 3 times. Everytime I go I camp. It's dog friendly. I had a BALL bringing my puppy Jasper. He did so well. It was his first time camping. It's very calm and chill. In the RVs everything is spaced enough that my dog wasn't bothered by our neighbors. He had to be on leash at all times. So, I had a 10-foot leash. There are tons of wildlife, but nothing aggressive. Everything from little birds to the big horned sheep. It does get super dark at night, so make sure to bring flashlights. I've camped in tents and in RVs and my favorite is the RV parks. There's a bathroom and shower nearby, and everyone is a nice distance away. It was fairly quiet at night. When camping in tents, you do have more access to the land scape and can do mini hikes, which is nice. The tent campsites are a little closer, so there's less privacy there. But you CAN NOT go wrong. The roads are smooth, so smooth one of my friends went rollerskating. The petroglyphs are stunning. The sandstone and rock formations make it feel like you are in Mars. As a photographer, I absolutely recommend this place!

Make sure when you come to Vegas you make time to come to this amazing state park. Beautiful scenic views and wildlife on sight. I got to see rams and cool insect. Didn't get to hike to the famous fire wave but to check out some really cool spots with no people around. Visitor center available with small museum and restrooms. Entrance fee was $15.

This was a great way to spend a day! The day we went it was almost 100 degrees so any hiking we did was brief due to the heat. But we took full advantage of driving the scenic routes and the view stations. Absolutely stunning scenery.

Beautiful natural area. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen! All the normal precautions regarding hiking in the desert apply. Park gets busy at times so plan accordingly.Lots of nice hikes to choose from, "The Wave" is a popular favorite. I especially enjoy The White Domes Trail that goes through a slot canyon.

Awesome landscape. Take your sunglasses, hat, hiking shoes and water. Lots of water! Atmosphere is very dry but it's worth it. There are many stops to wonder around. I went to about 6 of them. Fortunately, some of those include restrooms. Be sure to use them as the next one might not be near.

What a gorgeous, gorgeous place! I am so glad that I chose to come here with my 3 kids after driving over 4 hrs each way to Southern California and back a day prior. It was a gem and I will definitely go back to see the magnificent canyons that Valley of Fire has to offer. This place is a must see and it’s only a short 1 hour drive out from Las Vegas.

Jenny S — Google review

Absolutely beautiful place to visit with the family. $10 per car to enter.I can’t wait to return for camping. The rock formations look alien and gorgeous.I would recommend going in the winter months. There is a lot to see and explore. Have comfortable hiking shoes.

Chris H — Google review

I was not expecting such a fantastic scenic park! We were driving to Las Vegas when we saw the signs for Valley of Fire and I remembered a coworker had mentioned this place.So we took a detour. At first I was not going to enter due to the $15 fee. But decided I had made it this far and we could drive straight through.I was amazed at the very scenic red rock mountains. From the outside of the park you do not get a true impression.We spent about three hours in the park which is enough to simply see it. We did a few short hikes and drove everywhere we could. We also went in the winter and the park was packed! We skipped a few parking areas because they were full and we did not want to park illegally.But we were still able to see the sights from other viewing areas.

Michael H — Google review

Great day out! Beautiful landscape, rock formations. It's a step back in time to see some of the most amazing feats of nature. Not expensive, but take lots of water and make sure to have a full tank of fuel. It is way off the main road and can be dangerous on extremely hot days if not prepared. Free water is available in the visitor center, so bring bottles and keep them full.

James S — Google review

This place was amazing. My recommendation is to come early. The park is huge and you won’t want to rush the experience, you could be there all day and still not see it all. Overnight camping is permitted and there are plenty of day use areas perfect for a day long getaway! Make sure to look for Sheep as they are all over the park. Located only a short drive from Vegas, this is a must see!

Cloudy C — Google review

This is one of my favorite parks in NV. This place is very unique, gorgeous, and different, with amazing rock formations and colors. On top of that, the hikes are nice and short and you can get easily achieve them in a day. I always pack a picnic basket with me to enjoy after a few hikes. Many picnic areas within the park. If you are lucky you will run into mountain goats. The visitors are fun to explore. They do have a water station you can refill your bottle. If you are not a fan of hiking then do the scenic drive. Also, the night skies here are awesome, especially on the full moon evening. You can get an annual state pass for $80 or else $10 for a day pass.

Kimberly P — Google review

I love this place as I feel it is magical and rejuvenates the spirit and soul. It is about an hour and forty five minute drive from Las Vegas and is a great 6-8 hour day trip from the city. I love to take visitors there as a surprise and they love it. As you near the park, cross grey brown desert, then suddenly drop into this red valley of incredible geological formation. I recommend you go in the earlier part of morning or later evening to get the best sun glow contrast on the valley rather than the bright of mid day. There are several hiking trails and a gorgeous educational visitor center. This is a great go to for children, families, and adults alike! A must see. A magical journey.Helpful Travel Safety Tips: Cell phone service is often spotty or nonexistent. When preparing for travel through desert terrain and roads I suggest you take the following: a topography map of the state, 1 gallon of water for each occupant, nuts/dried fruit, sunglasses, large brimmed hat, sunscreen, long sleeve shirt, long pants, close toed sneakers/hiking footwear, a roll of toilet paper with a good garbage bag (always pack out your trash), flashlight with fresh batteries, and a blanket. Also, I recommend that you get gas regularly, keeping above 3/4 of a tank as there are areas without gas for many miles between service stations.

It's beautiful! All the red rock and sand is stunning.There are signs throughout the park that say, "You Might Die." Lol. No seriously there are! We were there in September. It was hot and dry. Hotter and dryer than you think, so definitely bring a cooler with ice and plenty of water. And mind your step. A woman accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake by us, and she nearly got bit. There is no cell service at the park, so it's best to be prepared. Enjoy the park! It is truly magical!*There is a restroom at the entrance to the State Park, and restrooms at the Visitors Center a few miles in the park. (No cell reception there either.)

You have to experience a sunrise or sunset here to truly understand why they call it VALLEY OF FIRE.I’ve traveled the world, and can say with certainty- it’s one of the most beautiful desert experiences out there.That being said IT’S HOT- especially during the summer. As always, it’s important to remember to pack, dress and hydrate appropriately to ensure a great experience.Wearing shoes with thicker padding will help you traverse the shifting sand ground that lines the valley.Driving the loop is an experience in itself- but true happiness comes from taking a few moments to explore what’s behind some of the massive rock formations.Don’t leave without driving the scenic route around and beyond the visitor center.A mile or two up a steep incline drive, you’ll be welcomed by one of the most expansive and mesmerizing desert scenes that the west has to offer.If you’re a nature lover- bring a small pair of binoculars with you. Wildlife is abundant, and you’re guaranteed to see something interesting if you take a moment to search for it.Cheers, and Safe travels!!(Don’t forget to follow for more travel, dining and cultural immersion suggestions and reviews)✌🏽

I've been to Red Rock, too, but this was another level. The majority of the park just feels entirely otherworldly. Easy to navigate, and so many gorgeous places to explore and hike. Only $10 for admission too? I definitely want to go back to spend a whole day there. It really is that good!

Alec F — Google review

Really special place with some unique rock formations that you can't find anywhere else, especially the road that goes right through the canyon. You must drive through Mouse's Tank road and see the view, it's incredible. Next to the Rainbow Vista trail is a great spot to take photos of the road and the valley. Be prepared for high temperatures here and zero shade. If you're short on time you can definitely visit the different areas of the park in 1 day. I highly recommend you come here if you're around the Las Vegas area.

This national park was a revelation. I haven’t heard much about it as compared to Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon but I was very surprised that this park is gorgeous, and super underrated!The views are spectacular, the sand stones come in different hues of red, pink and natural color. There are picnic areas and it can also be used to hold special events such as weddings!Would you believe there are petroglyphs in some of the rocks dating back 2,000 yearsI recommend you take the tour since there are a lot of anecdotes and stories that happened inside the park and they make for a deeper appreciation.We took the pink jeep day tour for 5.5 hours. Totally worth it!John our tour guide was very well versed with its history and he also imparted valuable information about the state of Nevada.There is a small visitor center to view exhibits, shop for souvenirs and a restroom stop.

Marvi Y — Google review

It’s Nevada’s oldest and largest state park, offering a variety of activities such as camping, hiking, picnicking, and photography. The park is also rich in history, with areas of petrified wood and 3,000-year-old Indian petroglyphs.The ideal time to explore Valley of Fire is during the fall, winter, or spring, as summer temperatures can be extremely high.There are numerous short hikes that allow you to see much of the park in a single day. The Fire Wave Trail is a popular hike, leading to a beautiful rock formation with colorful striations.Make sure to stop by the visitor center for more information and to view the interpretive displays

Such a cool experience with my family (at sunset). It was such a great experience (and only 1 hour out of Vegas) that my two teenage sons and I went back the next day! It was awesome climbing around, exploring, and hardly anyone was around too - it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was 106 degrees out, which was part of the whole desert experience :-) we saw 3 lizards, 10 horned sheep/rams, and zero snakes. Camping there would be a cool experience…maybe next time.

Definitely one of our favorite places in the USA! So beautiful with such unique hiking opportunities. Highly recommend on full moon nights! We’ve been here several times in a 37’ rv pulling a 22’ trailer - not easy- but definitely doable.

Mattaniah — Google review

Beautiful state park, craggy and raw and interesting. Everywhere I looked, I saw faces because of the holes that are made naturally in the soil and mountains due to the material being eroded by rain and water.There are many vistas in the Valley Of Fire, each one holding its own beauty.It felt like I landed on another planet, I almost think that some alien and other planet fiction movies were probably filmed here.I highly recommend a visit here during the cooler months. I went just as Spring started so it was quite nice but I can imagine just how hot it can get as it goes nearer summer.

Anna M — Google review

A really neat place and if you’re a geologist or rock buff, you’ll really enjoy this place. The rock formations are amazing. It’s about an hour off of the interstate and kind of remote, but well worth the trek. We visited in the afternoon in early June and yes it’s oppressively hot. Pay attention to the signs about staying hydrated and not overdoing things. There’s a spot that’s reserved for wedding ceremonies. I’ll bet it’s a neat venue in a spring or fall evening.

Michael C — Google review

A wonderful place to visit in April if it's not raining or snowing. We waited a couple days to come on a nice and sunny day. The temperature was in mid 50s so it was perfect for hiking. I can imagine it being really hot in summer here with all the sand and rocks baking in 110+ degrees. Anyway, the views were stunning and not at all scary in terms of heights. I feel safe hiking here. Bring a lot of water to drink and wear sunglasses. The wind is quite strong and the sand gets flown around.

Absolutely gorgeous! There are so many great spots to stop at and trails to walk throughout the park. Washrooms were always decently clean but bring hand sanitizer because some don't have sinks!

Rach V — Google review

Such a beautiful park and so close to Las Vegas. We came during early May in the late afternoon, it wasn't too hot by the time we arrived. We only had time to do the Fire Wave and Seven Wonders loop. Highly recommend starting at the entrance of the loop as opposed to where people exit, as the trail is clearly marked in one direction. It was a bit harder to see the trail markers going the other direction.Would love to visit again to check out the other points of interest within the park.

If you have a car it's worth the hour drive (especially for us East coasters who are up early the first morning in Las Vegas anyway).There are hikes, but if you just want to do the scenic drive it's definitely still worth it.

My partner and I visited this national park, and it was so worth it. We loved that we were able to see a lot of it in half a day. We visited the elephant rock(hiked a trail around it), which is very cool, and then we drove back to see seven sisters and up to rainbow vista all the way up to Fire wave. I highly recommend hiking around fire wave because you will see some pastel looking rocks not far out.We visited in February, and weather was in the low 50's. They charge $15 for non-residents.

We came to the area to do a number of hiking trails. Grand Canyon was great. We went to the West rim, Red Rock was fantastic but visually we were in complete awe while visiting the valley of Fire. Once you enter the park, there are many trails you can go to and based on your physical capabilities, you can choose which one you would like to go on. This truly looked like we were in some sort of science fiction movie. Please make sure to bring plenty of water. Once you are on the trail, you'll want to continue the supplemental trails that loop you around. There is an admission price at the ranger station and here they will also give you a map. We downloaded maps online to have an idea before we got there. Enjoy.

Beautiful park. The scenery is just breathtaking. BRING LOTS OF WATER. We just visited on Saturday when it was 107 degrees. They don’t call it the Valley of Fire for nothing. While extremely hot, it’s worth going. The views rival that of any state or national park that we visited. 100/10 will be back to visit

Missy R — Google review

Such a beautiful place! Went on an early morning hike in November 2023 and it was so cold and quiet. The way the rocks' color hues change depending where the sun is located is stunning. They even have pink sand! 🩷There are easy to sort of difficult trails, suitable for all ages.Overall, Valley Of Fire is a thousand times more beautiful in real life. Pictures don't quite do it justice, in my most humble opinion. I hope to visit again someday!

Simply stunning. A must-see, world-class park. Competes with most any National Park and would totally deserve that recognition except it is on the compact side. In terms of beauty, it’s oversized. There are petroglyphs, fossils, great hiking trails and vistas, and a beautiful scenic drive throughout. Cannot recommend enough!

Jeff D — Google review

Valley of Fire was my absolute favorite park I visited in Vegas! We visited the first week of March and even though it was spring we had a nice temperature wise day it got to 67.It was so breath taking, around every corner is a different shaped and colored rock, I recommend going around sunset time, the rocks really pop with color and of course the sky does to!We got there a little late, we had about 2 hours until the sun set, which I thought they'd have security trying to get you out around that time but they don't. When we left no one was at the gate and no one was driving around the park trying to make you leave. So technically you could stay after dark, but I don't' recommend it lol. There is however a camp site in the park where people stay.Right as we we entered we saw wild Rams which was really cool!The gift shop was cute, they had a decent amount of souvenirs to buy.Overall I HIGHLY recommend taking the hour drive here you won't be disappointed!

Valley of Fire is an amazing stop to see the drastic landscape in Nevada. For Nevada residents it is a 10 dollar entrance fee out of state is 15 dollars and veterans get a dollar off. All roads were paved and it was not too crowded. The fire wave loop was a fun hike and not too strenuous. You can see big horns sheep and prong horns. See hirogliphics, petrified logs, beautiful sandstone formations and the reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, white, and purples in the formations. The visitor center has wonderful information about the park and a gift shop. There were restrooms at several stops in the park and picnic areas. When hiking in the desert be sure to come prepared with sun block, hats, water, and appropriate clothing for the season. This is a must do stop. Our whole family loved it. We made two stops in in one weekend first on Friday on our way to Zion and then on Sunday coming home. We just couldn't get enough of this park and hope to come back soon to explore more.

Beautiful park with amazing, vibrant colors and some great hiking. I enjoyed great weather when I was there despite the forecast (which scared people off) so I had a lot of trails pretty much to myself that are normally very busy. Lodging nearby isn’t vast but it’s not a bad drive at all from Mesquite.

Wow... It's like a little sedona. There are so many trekking courses, but when it's too hot, you can only look around by car. The road is very steep, so you have to take a path that goes up and down, but when you enter, you can see off-road. You can also see goats and desert foxes in it. Looking at the small caves, I assumed that native americans lived, but I was also right. The red rock walls were really beautiful and mysterious. If you come to Las Vegas, I recommend you to visit it.

This has been on my bucket list for years, and after finally visiting I sure know why it was on there!This park is incredible! I personally think it has aspects of Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands national park all in one! Very beautiful views especially when it is sunny! Hikes were fun and gave a sense of being off-trail without being too long! I was only able to explore the park for a few hours but I wish I could have spent a few days here!Crowds were minimal but that is to be expected during a weekday! I would guess this park is much busier on weekends. I did not have a problem finding parking but if it was a little busier it would start becoming a challenge to find parking.Overall I would definitely recommend this park and I will be coming back!

This park is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a great time. We did a couple of amazing hikes. It's like no park we've ever been to and we've been to many.

This place is beyond beautiful! The colors of the rocks are amazing, especially on sunset/sunrise. This is my second time going. The first time it was cloudy with a little bit of rain here and there (early March). The second time was late April and was pretty sunny/hot. From my experience, the rocks looked better on a cloudy day.The only reason I gave it a 4 star was because this second time around, we made a reservation for a campsite. However, when arriving, a different family took our spot. Instead of the rangers taking that family out (since they did not pay to stay), they moved us to a different location. We did not pick this location. We really wanted to stay at the location we picked. So basically, anyone can pretty much take someone's spot, and rangers won't really do anything. They weren't even checking if the cars had an overnight tag.On the plus side, we did see wild longhorn sheep throughout some of our hikes and near the campsite.

This park is truly a gem close to Las Vegas. It is like you have reached Mars. The rock formations are stunning! There are many hikes you can do but We only did the valley of fire hike which was a short one but the views were mind blowing

Nestled within a lively casino complex, Virgin River Hotel and Casino offers basic yet clean rooms away from the gaming action for a peaceful stay. The upbeat atmosphere of the casino provides various gaming options and live entertainment, while dining choices cater to different tastes. Guests can also enjoy amenities like pools, a bowling alley, and an arcade. Despite its affordable rates, the hotel pleasantly surprises visitors with its cleanliness and comfort.

Stayed here on 2 different occasions enjoyed my stay. We requested a certain room to accommodate our dog. We were happy it wasn't the Marriott but for the price you can't go wrong. Room was clean, sheets & bed had no weird stains,staff was helpful. We enjoyed our stay & our smoking room.

Stayed 2 nights, 25-27 September 2022 (Sun-Tues), everything was excellent! The room was spacious, the A/C was effective, bathroom was very clean and fully functional, and plenty of parking, in fact I parked right in front of my room. The pool and hot tub were very good, only minor problem was no pool towels so you had to bring a room towel, but plenty of deck lounges, some in shade, some in the sun. I ate at both the buffet and the cafe and the food was great, delicious prime rib at the buffet (plus many other items), and the cafe was top notch. I ordered the full rack of ribs and could eat less than half, my take-out container must've been at least 3 pounds. And at $19 (includes soup or salad, potato, veggies, and 2 rolls), it was an incredible bargain. Best of all the room was only $27/night with NO resort fee, about 1/4 of what you'd pay in Vegas. I was very pleasantly surprised, plan on returning soon for at least 3 nights.

This is the best value for your stay Sunday through Thursday. The food in the cafe was good with fast friendly service and affordable prices. There was a bowling alley, casino, bingo, 2 golf courses and more.Beautiful setting, nice pool and large parking lot. It was really q quiet at night and sleeping was a breeze. We'll be back

Loved bingo! Very affordable and great A/C! Definitely will be back and are excited to hit more slots, and try out bowling! We also loved the hotdog cart! Restaurants were alright but for being a cheaper place to visit, the quality matches. The staff was excellent throughout the whole place! Our room A/C was broken and it was the hottest day on record during our trip. They were extremely prompt in not just repairing but replacing the A/C! Worked out great!

I will 100% be back to stay at Virgin River Hotel and Casino! I was honestly a bit leery about staying here. We just needed to get away from life for a quick minute and scheduled an impromptu getaway for the night. We stayed on a weekend and it was $68/night. There was no resort fee. The incidental hold was $20. I was expecting like a motel 6 type of experience and I was completely shocked at how nice our room was for the price. The rooms are simple, but very clean. The AC was fantastic! Wifi was included and we were able to stream video without any lag. The beds were super comfortable, no back pain at all. I was most impressed with how immaculate the bathroom was. It was sparkling clean. Kudos to your housekeeping staff! We did not partake in the pool, but it was a large outdoor pool with a hot tub and looked great! There is not a fridge or microwave, but the savings on hotel made up for it 100%. During the week the rates drop to $27/night - we will definitely come back during the week some time, what a deal!I did read some of the negative reviews on here and to be honest we did not have any of those issues staying here at all. The front desk staff were so kind that I feel confident that if there was a problem with our room they would have moved us without any issue.We also had a great time at the casino. We played penny slots with $400 for over 5 hours and left with all of our money! It was such an enjoyable night. It really got our minds off of work and the everyday stress. The casino has a few restaurants, $.75 hot dogs, complementary drinks while playing, Starbucks, a bowling alley, and a great arcade!I highly recommend going there and trying it out. I think you will be just as pleasantly surprised as I was.Thank you Virgin River Hotel and Casino for a great experience! We will definitely be back!

The check-in management got all of our rooms together, then 1 person in the party got on the elevator and it opened up to the outside 3rd floor... being terrified of heights, she refused to get off the elevator... back to the front desk we went and he graciously found a 1st floor room....If I am/were to go again, I would bring my own pillows... the pillows are extremely thin. Very basic rooms, but with a price to match.

Love that they are truly dog friendly. Wish more people would pick up their dog waste around the dog walking area.The rooms are a little dated but still clean and comfy. One whole building is dedicated to people and their dogs which is great.Not super sound proof. The people above us were very noisy all night long and I mean well past 3 in the morning. I swear they were rearranging the furniture.The breakfast buffet in the casino is good with lots of options.

Juliana S — Google review

We enjoyed the Buffet, kinda played a little in the Casino won $72, kids played in the arcade and won 1300 tickets between three kids. Now the rooms, our tables were filthy with smeared I’m guessing frosting/syrup/jam 🤔. Towels were thin, beds comfy BUT pillows sucked..super flat. At $27 a night you can’t really expect luxury but maybe a little updating is in order. All the employees were nice and friendly.

We were on our way back to Nevada from Colorado. It was late. We were tired, so we decided to stop. We didn't need anything fancy. the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the casino was close. We ate at the buffet and it was very good. The only thing better was the staff. Very helpful, and very friendly. We had a great time. Thanks to everyone.

You get what you pay for here. The check in process was very smooth, the rooms were clean, and the beds were comfy. The bathroom looked like it went out of date about 20 years ago and the amenities are only the bare minimum (no microwave). If you're just spending one night on your road trip to somewhere else this place is great. After having to stand in the smoke filled casino to check in I was grateful to not smell even a trace of smoke in our bedrooms.

Caleb P — Google review

Love this casino. Definitely my favorite casino in Nevada. We stop in there every year on our way to Utah and it never disappoints. The games are great and the food is fantastic. You’re still able to get that old style low cost casino food. Very few casinos still offer the cheap food anymore and this place has it and it’s delicious every time. They even have a hot dog stand inside with hotdogs for like 75 cents. There’s a giant arcade to keep the kids busy while the adults play. The rooms are nice and comfortable and the cheapest around. Especially during the week. Heading that way in a week and I already booked my room. Can’t wait!!

Sarah B — Google review

The rooms are reasonably priced especially for Retirees, they put out a great restaurant meal at a great price.The rooms should have coffee in them, coffee cost $1.50 at the bar next to the check out.I will stop there again on my way to San Diego and Los Angeles.

These crooks will lie to you just to get you to reserve a room and then chase you away if you park your oversized vehicle in the oversized vehicle lot. Let me explain. So I was looking for a place to take my 34 hour break. I wanted a hotel with a pool, and self serve laundry and decent restaurant within walking distance. According to the Internet, this place checked all the right boxes. So I called the reservation hotline, and asked if I would be able to park my truck. I was told to park behind buildings 5, 6, or 7. So I found a spot behind building 7 , parked and then checked in. Gave the front desk clerk all of the information for my truck, and went to sleep. Next day I came out, ate and then went to go get my laundry out the truck and found four notes all over my truck saying that I can't park here and need to remove my truck from their property. So I did, and now I'm out the money for my reservation plus I didn't even get the hours back to take my 34 hour restart. So ask yourself, if they're willing to lie in order to get a room reservation, do you really trust them to deal a fair game of blackjack? If they're willing to lie for a $100 reservation, what makes you think they're not going to break out some loaded dice when there's a grand on the pass line?

This is a $54 a night hotel, not at all fancy. The towels, although seemed clean were very stained. I tried not to think what the stains could be and just dried off quickly. No coffee maker, no mini fridge, no extra amenities. I bring my own coffee maker on the road so no problem. The problem was not having disposable coffee cups in the room. I doubled up the plastic drinking cups and it worked okay. I was satisfied with the beds, a dead bolted door and a warm shower. It was fine. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

For the price this casino can't be beat! Check in was fast and friendly. The casino had an upbeat and exciting atmosphere, with activities for everyone in the family. Rooms are removed from casino to offer more quiet stays.Based on the current reviews I expected a "dirtier" room, but was very happily surprised that my room was VERY clean, dated but CLEAN! And was nicely cleaned daily during my stay with bed makeups and fresh towels.The pools are nice and warm. I really had a nice stay. Only cons were the room was dated, but clean. There was no refrigerator. But the food on site is well priced. Also has a minor leak in the AC unit, maintenance came quickly and repaired it.

For the location it’s a great place to go. Sister property of casa Blanca, even better then in my opinion. Tons of slots. Rooms are simple and far from new but for $30 total with a$20 deposit it’s worth every penny. Pet friendly for only $10 more.

Virgin river cafe was amazing. Had a chef salad that was fresh and enough for two people. Husband had the turkey dinner, that was huge and even came with cranberry sauce. Prices were great and the server was very helpful.

Difficulty with check-in should have forewarned us. The bottom of the tubs were not scrubbed in either room. Sorry, not wanting to take a shower in that. No mini fridge. Pet friendly room but no pet relief area. Other guests did not leash their dogs. We leashed ours. Casino was apparently all a smoking area. Unlikely to stay there again.

My kids and I love it here. It's not a luxury resort, but those are overrated, anyway! Adequate sized rooms for great value. The Cafe & buffet have a wide variety of options at a very reasonable price. The staff at the bowling alley are kind & helpful, especially Missy! Thanks to Virgin River Hotel & Casino for making our stay a great one!

For $27 a night, the stay was well worth it for what it is. We were just stopping quickly overnight on a road trip, so did not use any of the other facilities.The check-in process was long, as they only have 3-4 staff at the front desk for the entire 700+ room hotel. Had to wait 20-30 mins to check-in, and the front desk agent said it sometimes can take 2+ hours when busy. Lots of cigarette smoke from the casino in the front-desk area. I do not like that they do not guarantee a non-smoking room when booking.The room itself was okay. Some updates were obviously attempted with new furniture, but the overall room shows its age. Cleanliness was fairly superficial. There were mounds of dust on some furniture items/light fixtures, and found some hair elastics/pins on the ground under the sink, etc. Bathroom fixtures are quite old, but the shower water pressure was probably the best I've had at any hotel - wow! Sheets were clean, bed was reasonably comfortable. Room amenities minimal. Only a TV - no coffee maker, fridge, etc.Would definitely consider again for a short stay if ever needing an overnight on the way by.

If you are looking for a place that just has bare minimums, like a bed & bathroom then this place will work great for you. The rooms are absolutely no frills and the price reflects that. We just needed somewhere to sleep so it is fine. No fridge, no coffee maker in the rooms and potentially bring your own towels, they don't provide much.

Great little casino and hotel with great food. Service was very good, and were very attentive to our needs. Food was great and the price was even better with their specials !! You must stop there and have a bite of their special dinners in the cafe/diner. Great alternative to the buffet if you don't want a full blown buffet. At about half the price !!!

We had breakfast, there were heaping amounts of great tasting food on our large and deep plates. More than enough for either of us! The cost was very reasonable. The waitress was very good, the coffee flowed freely. A very good experience.

Loved this place! They have smoking and non smoking rooms and pet rooms. The casino was fun with new machines and some old ones where you can pull the handle 😀 The scenery outdoors is open and very nice. When you live in Vegas, it was great to get out of the hustle and bustle and simply relax 😌 Plus, the charge for the hotel was affordable without all the extra resort fees and daily pet fees. We want to go back asap!! 😀

This hotel/casino is my favorite one so far. I have stayed at dozens across the country and this one is definitely the best. Has great rates, great staff and the location is convenient and beautiful. There's nothing to lack or dislike. I absolutely love staying here. I will keep staying here every chance I get.

The diviest of dives. I love this casino. The employees, though helpful, are not really pleased to be there. But maybe that's because of the hours I usually attend; midnight to four a.m. I'm sure they are quite tired and bored. The rooms are clean. The price of said rooms is fair, though I really wish they had refrigerators in them. They used to, I think. It had been many years between visits, so I can not be quite sure.

Eric — Google review

We have stayed here several times over the years, it just gets worse. I know by experience that there are NO in-room amenities, just 2 tiny bars of soap and a small TV. But this visit is my last. Tried to check in early (about 2:30) but was told the room wasn't ready. I was able to check in, and was told to come back after 4:00. We were in town to visit with relatives, so we came back around 7:30, got keys and left again, finally getting in about 9:30. What a filthy mess! Why did they make us wait for the room if it wasn't going to be cleaned? They did make the beds, but that is all, the rest of the room was filthy. The maid did leave her cleaning supplies (spray bottle and rags) so I cleaned the room myself! It was late, and I just wanted to go to bed. I complained to the manager the next day, and he said he'd "investigate" and get back to me. He never did. The next day I went back to the front desk, and they had a different manager on duty, who said I needed to speak to the first manager, who wouldn't be back for several days. She said she couldn't do anything. I'm never staying at this filthy dump again, and my advice to anyone thinking about staying here is to think again. (By the way, no hot water in the sink, and don't look at the bathroom ceiling).

The food at the Cafe was amazing, minus the Chinese menu. The steak buffet was GREAT. bowling alley was a nice activity to do. The staff inside the casino were very friendly and the bar serves well made drinks, and for a really good price.My only downfall for this place was the hotel itself and the housekeeping.Soo.... for the room... the room was fairly dirty I found empty water bottles under the table. What appears to be barbecue sauce on the dresser, wall behind the dresser and on the sides of the bed. I also found a full propane torch under the bed.As for the housekeeping, they went into my room as I was eating breakfast, took my preroll joint off the table. And when I asked the housekeeping supervisor why they took my joint. She told me you should have put up a "do not disturb sign(which was not provided) she then went to take one from another room and give it to me.With that said.. it was a great stay for the weekend. Will be returning.

Very smoky. Hard to breathe. Slots were very tight. Didn't see anyone win. Wait all day for bonus on machines and then you get next to nothing. Disappointing. I know you can't win all the time but when you put in a 100.00 and count on one hand the amount of times you get your bet back. That isn't fun

We stayed in building seven, third floor. room was spotlessly clean, the towels were not a problem, felt very safe. They told us the elevator was not working, and it was not a problem at all Pretty good prime rib for $11 in the casino

Doug D — Google review

The staff here was very sweet and respectful and the amenities provided such as the arcade and bowling were fantastic. The location isn't too bad but it is pretty isolated from everything else like stories and such. However my biggest problem was with the rooms themselves; when me and my family first arrived, one of the lights in our room weren't working, the dresser doesn't close all the way in, the ac only works sometimes, and not to mention the dried up dog poop underneath the table that wasn't from our dog that we had to discard ourselves.

I had a reservation and drove from Las Vegas. Woman from front desk would not accept my ID because it was expired by a few days, after I said I had my credit card and registration, insurance which was up to date and had been drinking at a concert. I had an expired passport which I realized I should have had the proper up to date IDs, but how rude she was and did not even try to ask a superior if I could still just sleep there till 10am. It was after midnight, and then had the audacity to say would you like me to credit your credit card. I looked at her and said do you think you should charge my credit card and not expect me to stay at this establishment. I'm just stating facts, so it's up to anyone who reads this , two wrongs don't make a right, but if you're in the business to make money at least try to help a customer out. Not to mention I explained I was drinking and needed to lie my head down for a few hours. The next place I went to had no problem with my expired driver's license and expired passport because I explained to them what had just happened at the Virgin casino. This is the first complaint I have ever written in my life because of the attitude the woman had without even trying to consult her Superior.

We were able to check in an hour early but weren't allowed to retrieve the keys until after 4 pm. While waiting, we played the slots machines and had an early dinner at the buffet. The buffet was a little under $50 for 2 people. It was prime rib and crab legs night. The food was okay. The crab legs were cracked open for you, which I truly enjoyed. The downside was that the crab legs were cold. The server was great. The rooms were terrible. I thought I was in a low-budget scum motel. There was no comforter or bedspread on the bed. They had 2 thrift store worn out blankets folded in the closet area. The towels were so worn out that you would be afraid it would rip after one use. The bath towel was so small you could barely dry your entire body. The bed sheet was so old you could see threw it. They had the nerves to say that if a blanket came up missing, they would charge you $60. It looks like it's worth $2.50. The TV was a 24-inch screen. The casino was okay, but I will never rent a room from them. I would rather sleep in my vehicle.

Spend the extra $ and stay at the Eureka. This was probably the worst hotel stay ever! The rooms reminded me of one of the those hotel rooms you see in a horror movie. They smelt moldy and haven’t been updated since the 80’s. We brought our own bedding and pillows which is highly recommended. You might want to bring your own towels too as they were so thin you can see through them.You will hear everything too! The walls are super thin and if you go to bed early be prepared to be woke by the drunk people leaving the casino at midnight. We had to call for security as some parents left there kids unattended to go gamble and were screaming and cussing up and down the balcony. When I called for security to come the guy drove by in his security car, yelled from his car to “quiet down” and drove off. The kids stopped for a second and continued.The casino is very smoky so if you don’t smoke be aware of that.The pool closes at 9pm so plan your night swim early.If you bring kids there is an overpriced arcade and a bowling alley that doesn’t take reservations but was easy for us to get in.The location is the only plus about the whole place. There is a McDonald’s directly across the street and there is a Starbucks located inside the casino.All in all pay extra and stay somewhere else!

Great affordable place to stay on our way through. We took advantage of the buffet and it was alright. Exactly what you would expect from a casino buffet. The tri Tip steak was really good. Could have used a mini fridge in the room but otherwise the room was good. It's a good place to stay for cheap.

We booked a room for one night. Was not asked about smoking or non smoking when we booked online. When we arrived we were told they only had smoking rooms. The room was so disgusting. Not only did it smell like an ashtray and stale cigarette smoke but it was overall absolutely gross and filthy.The bathtub had cigaretteburn marks all over the edge of it. The bottom of the tub was dirty and stained. The towels were ratty, full of holes and looked like they belonged in an auto shop, the chairs by the table were stained with god knows what.We were traveling with young teenage athlete who had to sleep in that room which is not ok. He didn’t choose to be subjected to all the second/3rd hand smoke in that room. We DID NOT book a smoking room nor would we have EVER booked one and we were not given an option.We had to go buy febreeze, air fresheners and candles just to try to mask the smell. We all woke up at 6:30am the next morning, couldn’t breathe and left without showering or anything because the room was so terrible and unsatisfactory.

The room is a great value. It’s $50 bucks a night. You can’t beat the price. There is nothing special about the room. It is just a room. Small, slightly bland looking, but the bed is soft, and the air works. There’s a TV that works. The towels are definitely thin, but if you’re staying a night by yourself, who cares? I’m not a gambler so I didn’t check out the casino, but I was grateful for a cheap bed to lay my head for the night.

I've stayed at the Virgin River Hotel several times, it is not fancy, but the most important thing to me is that it is clean. The beds are comfortable, the room is stocked with the necessities and it is a great location. It's not the Ritz Carlton. For me, it's just right when traveling through Mesquite. The staff at check in are capable and friendly. There are food options on site and parking is easy.

My friend and I stayed in separate rooms for 1 night. The beds were comfortable, rooms were clean. The location is convenient. Alex checked us in and he explained everything to us and checked us in very quickly. We would stay here again. The only complaint we have is that the pool and hot tub hours are 9 am to 9 pm, we checked in close to 9 pm so we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub.

Worse management employees. Andy was rude and unprofessional He don’t let you to talk he saying is There is nothing that I can do. They just want to collect money for theirs employer no matter what they need to do. I was charge with 150 dlls because they found dog hair on the floor 😳 carpet from the 70’s with stains all over but they charged me for deep clean when I don’t travel with dog. Insane. No resources for the guest. Always is what they said. I would like to know if all the good reviews are from real guest of from friends or relatives of those employees.

We came in from out of town and arrived around 1-2 pm. They wouldn’t let us check into our reserved and paid for room until 4pm. The room was clean with very little amenities. No shampoo or conditioner. 2 towels for a room with 2 queen sized beds. No blankets on the bed, only sheets and 2 very small, flat pillows. No coffee pot, microwave or fridge. Probably wouldn’t stay here again unless there were no rooms anywhere else.

Stayed here for a couple of days for work, rooms are just that. A room. No fridge, or microwave. Had water bugs, looks like roaches but I don't think they were. Towels looked and felt like they were worn past beyond working point and needed to be thrown away. Stained up sheets and pillow cases. No time to check the pool out but the cafe inside the casino was really good, prime rib one night, hot wings, ribs another night and even a club sammich. All were good and service as well. Bowling alley was cool, had a bar and an ice cream place. They didn't skimp on their scoops. Great location and good place to eat, just not a fan of their rooms IMO

We like to go there for dinner. The quality, variety and price are good. It is a unique place to find good food. It isn't fancy food, but it is delicious.Our server was so cute. She was nice, friendly, honest and attentive.We all had the prime dinner, but we added the ribs that were delicious. It was a great meal for a very reasonable price. The front part you smell the smoke, but it is quiet and smoke free in the back. There were many families and small children when we went.

We enjoyed our stay here. Paid $30/night so not expecting luxury. The rooms could use an upgrade and the towels were a bit too thin. But, our room was clean and convenient. We enjoyed the casino and the food was just fine in the Buffet. The staff were super nice as well. Overall it was a good stay.

Always stop in for a great meal and very reasonable accommodations. Great value in a State more than willing to take advantage of you. Love this old school Casino. 5 stars

Nice place to stay a day or two. The rooms are avg. No refrigerator or microwave. No coffee. Its great to stay if you are visiting nearby. Price is right. Excellent deal Tuesday night for steak night(20$) at the buffet. Cafe is avg priced watch out because you get charged for coffee around 3.5$. I will go back. I like to visit nearby state parks.

We stay in mesquite 2 or more times a month and choose virgin river over Casablanca liking it more and better experience, room not always booked and smoking only available most of the times like Casablanca why we choose it first.But this last stay we had stain sheets and covers and pillow covers when we checked in, told the desk and did nothing about it to make up for it. No one came to change the bedding and we just slept on the other bed being it had clean bedding.Plus we found a cockroach in the tub as well. So hope they step up making sure to do better washing stuff and handle guest complaints better.

This is a great spot to stop off and get a good meal and have some fun. Bowling is good, food B ,and the rooms are clean from my stay for the past 5 years going from Ca East. The only problem is the hot tubs are miss or hit. I Don't expect 5* but its really a good stop. Tip the Asian lady with glasses well in the dine in section, if you stay more than a day she's a great waitress!

Nestled on a 60-acre property with stunning views of hills and red mesas, Eureka Casino Resort in Mesquite offers a range of elegant rooms and suites to suit every guest. The resort boasts a modern casino featuring around 1,000 slot and digital poker machines, an expanded sportsbook, and lively table games like blackjack and roulette. For those seeking upscale gaming experiences, this luxurious resort provides various options for entertainment including fine dining and live performances.

I went to eureka with one of my friends. The casino across the street is filled with the smell of cigarettes and you can feel your energy deplete. Eureka smells good, the energy is great. All the players have a lot of great personalities and the staff is amazing. The machines and casino are just all around clean. Well worth the visit.

We checked in on 3/18 for one night besides everything being booked up this was our only option so we booked the room at $288 but with taxes it was $344 huge jump in price not happy about that wasn’t aware of the taxes or fees the guy who booked our room didn’t tell us anything about the fees when we checked in they didn’t tell us anything about the fees only that there is a $20 refundable charge which still makes our room at $324 still $60 something difference then what we were told and the beds are the worst I didn’t get any sleep the Virgin Rivers beds are so much better and only at $60 a night but they were booked up so we couldn’t stay there. I will never stay at the Eureka again I love the casino and food but the rooms are horrible the front desk staff didn’t even say anything to me in the morning when I went to get coffee it took the housekeepers to say good morning to a guest kudos to the housekeepers as for the front desk they need a bit of work I use to work in the hotel industry and the front desk people should be more friendlier and willing to help they are the face of the hotel so they should be more pleasant and not so stuck up. I hope the management team calls me.

The rooms were old. No fridge or microwave. The pool was decent. The maids were so sweet. Always smiling. They would hold doors open for you. Check in every day to see if we needed more towels or anything. We did find dirty q tips tucked into the bedding. So maybe not great at cleaning, but very friendly.

Kelee M — Google review

Nothing to brag about. Use to be a Holiday Inn with the same atmosphere. Not very good for the ADA or accessible rooms. No refrigerator in rooms a $10 fee is charged for rental of a small compact model. Uncomfortable mattresses. Only 1 entry after 9pm.No continental breakfast only coffee 5-10am. Parking is a premium come early and don't leave.

Stanley F — Google review

The room was nice, but they have smoking and non-smoking in the same hallway. When the smoking rooms open their door it fills the hall with smoke and it seeps into the non-smoking rooms. The pool also looked dirty, it was a greenish color instead of a nice clear blue most pools are.

We were passing through Mesquite and stopped at the Eureka casino for a little gambling and something to eat. Ate at the mason cafe. Had a great meat and the service was excellent. Cheryl Duffy was our waitress, she made sure we had everything and was very pleasant. Couldn’t have asked for more Thank you

We recently had a group reservation needed and I called Eureka for reservations. Kasey was so helpful in making the reservation. It was our first time in Mesquite, and I was thrilled to see I didn’t have to walk thru the casino to get to the hotel! It was clean, and beautiful, inside and out. I only wish I had the time to enjoy the beautiful pool!! Thank you Kasey, and the Eureka for a great business trip stay.

I am DEPRESSED! Uncle Eddie from Christmas vacation would love this place. It’s got the vibe of the recreational vehicle Eddie drove up to Clark’s house. Everything was odd shades of tan, the furniture is beat to heck and the rooms just don’t feel inviting. Grandma smoked like 4 packs of smokes today while playing wild Buffalo March slot machines. Don’t worry, she quit smoking a couple years ago, now she just smokes when she gambles and rides the Amtrak train. She smells like an ash tray and keeps snoring in the bed next to me. . Anyway, this hotel is a two star. It’s not nice but not gross. I survived but would rather pay a little more for a better room. Two stars, four packs, one review.

High quality room service, comfortable and nicely decorated rooms, and helpful staff. The restaurant in the casino was easily the least enjoyable part of our stay. The casino has lots of interesting games and attractions that me and my son enjoyed, 9/10 would come again.

Horrible customer service. Went in to play on the bar top machines. Bartender only served me one drink the whole time I was there. Was serving everyone but ignored me the whole time. Finally asked if the drinks where free or they charged even if I was playing the bar top machines. All he would tell me was that he covered my drink this time. I told him I wasn't looking for a hand out. I went in there to enjoy my time and lose my money honestly but after that I just walked out. Went across the street much better service over there honestly!

Visiting the Eureka Casino was an exhilarating experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was friendly and attentive. The slot department, in particular, stood out with its impressive array of games. Winning a large jackpot there only added to the excitement. Never have i been paid out a jackpot so fast!! Hotel was nice and clean.It's clear that the Eureka Casino values its patrons and strives to provide an exceptional experience. I can't wait to visit again!

Cheryl at Mason street Cafe waited on me last Thursday. She was very informative about their menu. I ended up having prime rib. I have never had prime rib that good. Highly recommend

Patrick D — Google review

Casino overall is exceptional! Good games and better odds than other casinos. I’ve been coming here for years and have typically enjoyed most experiences. However an employee working table games has been considerably rude/condescending to myself in particular in the last year or so; (many occasions) for no real reason. I would give the casino 5 stars but due to partially poor employee selection I have to give a 3! I’ve never had any issues with any employees whatsoever at this facility other than one specifically, all others great in fact! Unfortunate to see an ungrateful employee amongst a terrific staff otherwise.

I spend a lot of time in the Eureka Hotel and Resort. The service is incredible and the employees are so very helpful! The rooms are always emaculate. And I won’t forget the pool area! It’s amazing. Alexis sure does a fantastic job! If you are ever in Mesquite this place is a must.

I came into Eureka quite a bit just to pass through and to get a bite to eat. I probably have come close to 20 times in the past year. Eureka always has amazing food, especially in mason street. Everyone has been so great, the cashier/ hostess and the waitresses/ waitors. But I have to say, I need to appoint something that needs to be addressed. As many times as I come in there, I have never seen someone be so rude, snap their fingers at someone to think they will be at their command, or simply talk down to their fellow co-workers like no one cares. How can someone be so mean and rude like that and get away with it. In my 20 something years in the food business, I have never someone like that and still have their job. To me, if I was this person's manager, this person would be fired in an heartbeat. Now I believe this person's name is Vicki, she works in Mason street. I came in during this past weekend and saw how she demanded the cashier's to do this or do that while the manager who was working with her, I believe he was the manager, just let her get away with it. Someone needs to give her a little lesson how to treat her fellow employees and treat them like human beings.

We he best part about this casino really for us was the buffet. They had unlimited crab legs for the family which was a huge win! There was also enough variety for everyone to enjoy and the food was great! The wait was about 30 mins or so to get in, so this was the only challenging thing but again the food was well worth it

Steven S — Google review

Nice, big room with comfy beds. Exactly what I was hoping for!The room seemed well soundproofed as I heard nothing from neighbors. Not even the shower, toilet flush or closing doors.K-cup coffee maker and bathroom soaps were nice! The TV was small, reception not great for OTA, but good for cable channels.Front desk staff was awesome and very accommodating!Bottled water and recyclable pillow case available for a fee. A nice touch.Morning coffee available in the lobby.Perfect for overnight but will definitely consider an extended visit!Don't hesitate if staying in the area. This is the place!

It's affordable for a weekend getaway but I find the slots to be tight. Could be just me and the ones I like to play but I've never won there. On the plus side, I found the 2 people working at the players club card desk to be the best part of the whole casino!

The room was clean, but the drapes had spots that were see thru as the backing was peeling off. Loved the new tile and shower in the restroom.When we were playing the slots, the cocktail server kept skipping us, even after my husband said "excuse me" she said "I'll be right with you" but never came back. All we wanted is a bottled water.

Was here with 8 guys for a bachelor party. Craig (Pit Boss), and all of the dealers made us feel welcome and we had an absolute blast. Played some incredible golf, came and gambled every night, and ate dinner at the Steakhouse inside, which was also awesome. Will be returning to Mesquite with the boys for an annual golf trip. Can't thank Craig, Sharon, Larry, Gloria and the other awesome people of the Eureka for making our trip memorable.

I am very unhappy about my recent, demotion from platinum to my gold card rewards. I feel that your expectations and goals are too high. I have in the past been a loyal and faithful fan. This will diminish in the future, since I am reduced to a lower bonus reward. I have spent thousands of dollars in the past years at Eureka. I am very disappointed in how you’ve treated me. I know you have standards, but I feel once you give a designation that it should stay unless there’s been a significant reduction in play. I don’t feel there’s been a justification of that much reduction to make the changes.

John was my bartender the other evening and he made the most delicious espresso martinis my friends had in a long time. I would highly recommend ordering them when he’s working. I went to a different casino last week with the girls and the service wasn’t nearly as good and neither were their drinks.

Excellent place to gamble at. I have more luck there. Don't mind the the rooms there very clean. Dining experience is a 50/50 in my book. Gregory's is fine Dining so a little bit price for my broke butt. There is a cafe/buffet . When it comes to any buffet food is best when it first starts. Now the Cafe I love the apple pie in a cup, the steak and lobster or shrimp, the cook did my steak (black and blue) perfect. I've also tried all there burgers and the only burger that's really worth the price is The smash burger. 2 patties ,the fixing on a potato bun is a 10 out 10. I get it regularly. I wish that they did 2 patties on all burgers. with only one the lack fulfillment so the price isn't worth a dissatisfied tummy. There Annie's in the day hours and that a given... Yum yum yum. preztal dogs..worth the wait time. it cook fresh when order..

My husband and I are locals and consider the bar at Eureka our go to spot. Even when we dine at Gregorys, we go early for a drink and a little gamble at the bar with Raphael. He is the absolute star in the casino. Always has a handshake and a smile and mixes a great drink. He makes losing money a pleasure! A great asset.

Went to Gregory’s at Eureka and had an amazing dinner. The bartender Joey makes the best drinks I’ve ever had. He is top notch.

Rooms are decent. bed was firm or stiff but still doable. Our room comes with an outdoor patio and walkway to the pool area. the pool closed at 11pm, which was perfect. We even played ping-pong. They just need an ID in an exchange of paddle n ball. The casino area was clean, we lost some and won some. Lol. Went to an event they had, and we had a blast laughing. We can't complain, We enjoyed our stay. We'll definitely come back again. Thanks eureka casino resorts

My wife and I are snowbirds and enjoy frequenting Eureka Casino while there. In our opinion it by far is the best casino in the area for the cleanliness, food, sports viewing and of course gambling. The staff including the bartenders and waitresses are amazing. Rafael and Roberto especially always greet us with a smile and always make us feel welcome in addition to excellent service they provide.Hotel is also excellent as I have guest come into to town and always put them there for the cleanliness and the excellent front desk staff and amenities.Be sure to visit Eureka if in town!

Security walked around and told multiple people they couldn’t video tape themselves or any of the slot machines. Security was unable to recite a policy or explain any reason. They just stated they would appreciate it if customers didn’t record anything. The pit boss stated it was ok to film pretty much anywhere except live games which is understandable. But slot machines? Every other place lets you film whatever. Get with the times eureka. My business will be spent elsewhere.

Wanted to say “Thank you!” Every time I have visited over the past year and a half to dine and gamble has been exceptional. The food has been satisfying and well prepared. The gaming table employee/owners are amazing!!

I have to say, I have been in Eureka for many, many years and never have seen somebody work their butt off as much as our waitress in the sportbook does. Her name is Danielle and I swear she lives in the casino, lol. Every time I come into the Eureka to make my NFL or Baseball bets, She is always working. I asked her one day if she lives there and she said yes, jokingly. She said she's always working and loves what she does. I eat in the sports book at least once a week and Danielle is always there and always delivers the best service to me. She goes above and beyond and makes sure my visit is amazing every time. I love her knowledge of the menu in sports book and how she always gives me great recommendations every time even though I've probably ate a million smash burgers, the best burger in town. She is by far the best waitress and employee I have encountered and she deserves to be in a higher position.

Truck parking across the street for a small price. If you like a good burger, check out their smash burger, amazing, I added a bit of A1 sauce on it . Service was quick and friendly. I never really win much but I can sit at a machine for a while, gets me out of the truck.

I stopped in for breakfast on my way from Utah to California. You can order from the menu or avail yourself of the breakfast buffet. The buffet is nothing fancy, just your basic breakfast offerings: scrambled eggs, eggs with cheese and peppers, hash browns, bacon sausage, cheese blintzes, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, pancakes and waffles, oatmeal and an assortment of muffins and pastries and fruit. It was all delicious and fit my needs. And it was only $8.99, drinks included! My waitress was very attentive and sweet. I would go there again when in the area. The casino floor was nice, but I did not have time to stay and play so I can't rate it.

Always keep our drinks full and they're always there for laughs and communication. Great conversations.

Additionally, we were impressed by Jessi's courteous, friendly, and highly professional demeanor.

The St. George Utah Temple is a majestic Mormon temple constructed in 1877, featuring remarkable craftsmanship and impressive historical significance. Currently undergoing renovation, the temple will reopen to the public in November 2022, while its visitor center already welcomes visitors with fascinating exhibits. Despite being under construction, the temple's beauty still shines through when contrasted against the red rock of St. George.

Still under construction but still an exciting place to come to. So much history and so impressive to see the craftsmanship of old still standing strong. Obviously needed some updating but all in all a house built upon a firm foundation stands the test of time. I am so looking forward to entering it when it reopens in November 2022. The Visitor Center however is open as of April 1st and that is not an April fools joke. It truly is open and has some wonderful exhibits for everyone. I will definitely be back and look forward to it.

This is one of the most spectacular sacred structures I have ever seen. It's exterior beauty silently speaks of spiritual serenity and you can just tell that important things go on inside. What a majestic addition to the pretty city of St George.

This is my favorite temple, aesthetically. I love the architecture of the pioneer era. However, what makes the temple special is what goes on inside. Here, I find a peaceful place where I can feel the spirit of my Heavenly Father as I worship. The visitors center has more info if you have any questions.

Truly the house of the Lord.While it is a members only experience...All of humanity is invited to come unto Christ, and qualify for entrance.Information is available at the adjacent visitor center.Everyone is invited to enjoy the well kept grounds around the building.Note to members: online appointment scheduling is highly recommended.

We were here for the Open House after the recent renovations. Everyone was very helpful and kind, and the temple itself is beautiful, with amazing attention to historical details. The Open House is continuing through November 11, 2023. After that, the temple will be dedicated and the public can still visit the Visitors Center on the grounds.

We were lucky to see this place for the open days (I think they last until the mid of November 2023), it is amazing, very beautifully renovated and huge! As non believers we've never seen a temple before, it was impressive! We were just visiting as tourists, but the people there were all very friendly and welcoming. We could join the tour, at the beginning you see a short film. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside. If you get the chance visit it before it's not possible for the public anymore. It's a unique chance for people of a different religion!

Barbara — Google review

The temple is closed for now till March or May. I went to visitor Center for more information. So I was guided through introduction of Latter Day Saints or Mormon religion and temple's history, I learned quite a bit from short introductions .The foundation of the temple was laid by lava stones pounded by a huge canon, so it has or would resist earthquakes after 140 years, the white color was chosen by their script for purity, when they enter the temple they will change to white robes or clothes. LDS believes separation of body and spirit, death is a temporary separation of the spirit from the body.

Zemin B — Google review

Beautiful place to visit. This is my favorite place to find peace and solace in this crazy world. We walked through the visitor center and are looking forward to the temple reopening so we can go regularly. The temple will be dedicated on December 10, 2023 and open for temple work shortly after.

The baptismal font was so beautiful and actually the original from the pioneer days.I was so impressed I had to keep my jaw from dropping with each new turn of a corner or door opening, stairway climbing or window viewing.Amazing, just amazing!!! 🥰

Holiness to the Lord, the house of the Lord. The St. George Temple, with its striking white exterior and rich history, stands as a profound symbol of faith and dedication in the heart of Southern Utah. As the first temple completed in the Utah Territory, it holds a special place in the hearts of Latter-day Saints and serves as a beacon of light and hope to the entire community.The temple’s pristine white walls reflect not only the beauty of its architecture but also the purity and peace found within its sacred spaces. It is a place where individuals and families come to draw closer to the Lord, participate in sacred ordinances, and make eternal covenants. This spiritual sanctuary provides a refuge from the world, offering solace and guidance to all who enter.Beyond its spiritual significance, the St. George Temple has been a cornerstone of the local community for generations. Its presence has inspired countless acts of service, charity, and kindness, extending the love and teachings of Jesus Christ to all corners of the region. The Church’s comprehensive welfare programs, often coordinated through the temple’s influence, provide vital support to those in need, fostering self-reliance and compassion.The dedication and ongoing operation of the St. George Temple symbolize a commitment to both spiritual and temporal welfare. It stands as a testament to the enduring light of faith and the Church's mission to uplift and bless the lives of individuals and families. The St. George Temple is not just a beautiful edifice; it is a sacred place where the divine meets the daily, inspiring all to live with greater purpose and love.

Nature & Parks

Pioneer Park is a magnificent 52-acre recreational area that showcases Dixie Rock and offers stunning views of the city. This park boasts hiking trails, BBQ facilities, and a covered pavilion for gatherings. It provides ample parking space and is ideal for families with small children to enjoy a great time together. The rocks exhibit incredible shapes and colors, making it an excellent spot for photo sessions. There's even a cave-like area that adds more beauty to the park.

We came in here Monday around1-2pm and there wasn't a lot of people which was great, it was so easy to find parking. First when you look at this park from the road, it seems nice but when you see the inside, it's a lot awesome and cooler. Great hike for the family even with little kids. We had fun taking pictures with the cool rocks, their colors and shapes are just amazing. There was even a cave-like area which was super cool and beautiful. And to top it all of, bathrooms were clean. There were soap and water and toilet paper, although no paper towel or hand dryer which wasn't a big deal. We came from Vegas and this was 2 hrs drive from us but it was totally worth it. ❤❤

This is a FANTASTIC way to get the family to check out some natural features, that is two minutes away from town. I’d always wanted to do some hike in st George, but unsure what would be best for the whole family. This place has as much, or as little as you want. Parking lot right in front of many things to do. Loved the area!

Tyler — Google review

What a blast! If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out. We had such a fun time climbing around on rocks and exploring. It’s awesome to have a bit of National Park feel right in St. George proper. Easily accessible & hours of fun. We had to keep a close eye on our littles so they didn’t jump off ledges! There were lots of goat heads, so wear good shoes. We also found a tarantula.

Rachel S — Google review

Huge beautiful playground for all ages and skill levels. This is always so much fun no matter weather or not you know how to climb. It's an open area where you can run free and play outdoors wherever you want. I could not recommend this place more! You can stay for a few minutes or a few hours and still feel like there is more to explore.

All I — Google review

This place is so much fun. Good for adults great for kids and our dog also enjoyed the climbing. It has terrain for the extreme adventurer. Though most of the same places can be reached by the rim trail. We did some of both. The view from Dixie rock and many other rock tops was amazing. It has parking for larger vehicles. The garden was so full of desert plants we have never seen or new existed. Also it is FREE!

FromHereToday — Google review

We had a blast checking out the park. Views from the top are great. Hike for people without health issues is easy. However I have a lot of health issues so I had to go really slow and was pretty out of breath by the time I made it to the top. The gardens before the park are awesome. Great place to take the family. Awesome place to get some good photos. Will definitely be back. Pet friendly. Be sure to pick up after your pet so others can enjoy the park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brittney K — Google review

I had such a wonderful time hiking, taking pictures, and being an absolute tourist. There is a decent amount of parking in multiple locations. There are public restrooms, bbqs, semi trail/semi groomed areas to hike. Great views of St. George, from an area of great views. A must on a day like I was there. A summer day that was mostly overcast so the heat wasn't unbearable. Great place to bring kids old enough to understand the dangers present in climbing on rocky terrains. I think many people would enjoy this area.

Sal C — Google review

Very nice free park, with a great desert garden, including small waterfall, stream with fish and a deeper pool with fish, which you can view from the side.Plenty of parking and most of the garden is wheelchair accessible.Since water fountains, but not tasty.Drive further on to other parking and you have take e starting there. You can try to climb up through the crack if you're young or skinny, else it's too tight.After a hot trail, go over to IceBerg (couple of minutes by car) to cool down with a great milkshake...

Fantastic park to take the family. Picnic tables and plenty of parking. The gardens are truly beautiful and well maintained. You can climb on the rocks, but be careful! There are very few handrails/guard rails.

KS N — Google review

This park was awesome! The trails go over the big red rocks and are pretty free-wheeling. It feels very self-led and adventurous. PLUS our group had a 2 year old, 11 month old, and 5 months pregnant lady with us and we were still able to climb a lot and had so much fun. Great views and awesome photo back drops! You could spend 30 minutes or 3 hours here and have a good time.

Carly H — Google review

It's a nice park, easy to walk, and has a lot of attractions like Dixie Rock, Boy Scout Cave, Pioneer Hills, slot canyons, arches, and more. This was my first time going hiking, and it was a great choice. If you like climbing, this is one of the best places to go in St. George. I will definitely like to return. Also, you can visit the Red Hills Desert Garden.

Macla R — Google review

This is a wonderful park to check out native plants and rock formations. The garden was very educational and great for all ages. It’s located right in the city with parking. You can get a nice Birds Eye view of the city from top of the rocks. Many hikes available and most are easy even for children. Highly recommended.

Pioneer Park in St. George, Utah, is an exceptional natural haven that I recently had the opportunity to explore. This park is truly a unique gem, offering breathtaking views of red rock formations that are emblematic of the area’s natural beauty. The standout feature for me was the iconic arch, a natural sculpture that serves as a testament to the timeless artistry of nature.The park’s landscape is a vibrant tapestry of red hues, where each rock formation tells a story of geological history and resilience. The trails winding through the park are well-maintained, allowing for easy exploration of the scenic vistas and hidden nooks that make this place so special.What sets Pioneer Park apart is the profound sense of tranquility it offers. Amidst the grandeur of the red rocks, I found a peaceful retreat, a place where the hustle and bustle of everyday life seem to fade into the background. It’s a place where you can truly connect with nature, taking in the silence and serenity that envelops the park.The park’s natural beauty is complemented by its accessibility, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re seeking a quiet spot to reflect and rejuvenate or an adventurous trail to explore, Pioneer Park caters to all.In summary, my visit to Pioneer Park was nothing short of amazing. The combination of unique geological features, the iconic arch, and the overarching sense of peace make it a standout destination in St. George. It’s a place where the wonders of nature are on full display, offering a slice of tranquility and a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.

This is such a fun place to bring the kids & grandkids. From here you can hike up on top of the DIXIE rock. There is a lot of fun big rock areas to hike around on & they have several places with picnic tables. The restrooms are nice & usually clean & well kept.

ROGER P — Google review

This park is so much more than you see from the street! I was visiting and had driven by it but didn’t stop. I was looking for something to do one day when the weather wasn’t great and decided to stop here.There are so many rock formations to explore! I was here for a couple of hours just wandering around and climbing on rocks. It was really fun with incredible views!

Steph W — Google review

Great park to explore at and have little ones run around in. Of course some areas need more supervision than others. Nice views all around.

Tess T — Google review

Definitely a must see if you're in Saint George. There's plenty to see and great for kids to climb around and explore. There is a massive crack in the ground you can climb through that's super long and tight. Also the Dixie rock is super cool because of its views and steep drop off.

Real S — Google review

Outdoor lovers paradise walk! Hands down, it’s legit guys. If you’re a fan of nature, and natural rock formations this place is the spot.Leash on dog (of course), lots of open space. Bathrooms are on site. Can picnic anywhere, pack it out. If you’re a smoker (quit lol), no smoking on site.

Lee P — Google review

This is such a beautiful area! We love to come and spend time here when we visit the area. It’s great for the teenagers, and the Littles as well. You can get as adventurous as you want or simply stroll, and then view the scenery.It was a little crowded in April, but not too bad. It’s fun to climb on the red rocks and see the Incredibles views of the whole city.

Debbie D — Google review

What a treasure to have as a city park. Hard to believe it is a city park. Great hiking trails with bridal views of the valley and surrounding area. Fun to climb the rocks. All levels of hiking and climbing. The garden area is stunning! What a relaxing area to stroll through. Dogs are allowed to, which was great. Highly recommend!

Natural history museum

Museums

The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm is an educational spot featuring prehistoric dinosaur tracks, along with fossilized fish and plant life. The museum has several exhibits designed for kids to learn from, with plaques identifying the fossils and giving interesting information. Although currently under construction, it's still a cool place to visit with a discounted price. It's a simple museum that offers a quick walkthrough of various items that can educate visitors about natural history.

Adults trip to the dinosaur track site. It was pretty awesome but I’ll admit that some people might have to try harder to see the coolness of such a place. But if you try, it’s totally there. Start by imagining how rare it is for a footprint to get turned into rock and survive 10s of millions of years….and go from there. Exhibits on geology, past ecosystems, naming of footprints (spoiler: different from naming of dinosaurs), how to tell directionality of water flow, all sorts of cool stuff.Also note that trace fossils - like footprints - often take a bit of imagination. Not usually my thing honestly. But here, in general, these are really well preserved and labeled and can be readily recognized. And there’s SO many of them. Even a butt print. Make it a scavenger hunt for the kids - finding the butt print. Ha ha ha.But I really did enjoy it. Definitely suggest a stop.

Dewey Z — Google review

I had a really fun time here. Very cool! Lots of impressive footprints. Cool to think that so many dinosaurs lived right here!Having kids who are 7, 5, 4 and 1, i will say it wasn't the most entertaining for them - they liked it, and there are some kid friendly things, but not as many as i had hoped.

Jason F — Google review

This was one of the best things I did in St. George! So informative and fantastic science and artifacts. The informational signs and short movies along the museum are very good. Be sure to make time to see it all. You will be not be sorry and so amazed! it’s air-conditioned also. Great learning information from the staff and volunteers. They know their stuff! Great for all ages. It’s worth six stars if it was possible.

Brigham F — Google review

Loved it. I paid $10 for an adult ticket. It's not a huge building, but it is densely packed with fossils and educational information. I felt like I got my money's worth.There's a neat mix of locally discovered fossils, as well as a few fossils from other parts of the world. Small gift shop with mostly kid-centric stuff.

Nicky — Google review

Great exhibits, focusing on many footprintsLeft in the mud of an ancient lake. Very educational with activities for kids. Unfortunately, they had to close early when the air conditioner failed. It is very hot here in the summer so that is an unfortunate possibility.

TREVOR W — Google review

It's a nice place that is very educational. Sometimes it was difficult to see the tracks, but, overall, it was cool to look at everything. They also have several exhibits designed for kids. The price was also not bad to get in and see a ton of things. We learned a lot and had fun going to see all the items they had.

Cat Z — Google review

This is a cool place! the fossils are really cool! It would take maybe 20 minutes if you read everything. Probably not a place to take toddlers. The outside area has no shade and not much to read or do.The price is high for what it is. In my opinion this place should be under 5.00 a person.

Heidi K — Google review

There is so much to do here! First, the coolest thing about this place is that it is built directly on the site where the tracks and impressions were found so they preserved the authenticity for guests and paleontologists alike. This is both a museum and a lab where you can see people working, studying, and learning behind the glass. Second, there are clearly-marked paths both inside and outside. Inside, the path guides you through the discoveries and museum; outside, you can walk through the various periods, i.e., Triassic, Jurassic, etc., which highlights some of the animals present during those times. Third, once you finish the walk-throughs, there are games, books, and a picnic area outside. Your kids will never be bored here!!!

Heather R — Google review

A great educational experience for kids and adults alike. Decent selection of merchandise in the gift shop area. Worth a stop if you're in the area. Plan on about an hour visit.

Bear J — Google review

Nice little museum to spend an hour or so. I agree with the reviewer that says it's not for toddlers, 3-year-olds. I was thinking once kiddos can read it would be more interesting.Also, the city needs to prioritize upgrading the A/C. Cooler than outside, but the handheld fans were super helpful.

Wow! Great experience for the family seeing real dinosaur bones and learning about the history of St. George UTAH. Dr Sheldon Johnson discovered this area and this has been an active dig site for dinosaur bones since early 2000 and still active today! So interesting looking at all the cool exhibits!

Robert C — Google review

Had an amazing time with my family there. The museum is very well kept, interactive, and offers a lot of visual and written information. One of the staff working on the fossils even opened the window to show and talk with us about the process and what she was doing. This was absolutely fascinating. The gift shop is also very interesting and has a ton of different options for people of many ages. The manager there, Cameron, was excellent in helping find what we wanted and had a great personality, as well as gave us some resaurant recommendations. Will be returning in the future.

Evan S — Google review

I was pretty impressed with this place. It's a live excavation site and they do a great job of showing you what they are looking at and how they come up with what they are looking at. It was much cooler than a museum filled with plastic replicas of dinosaurs.

Jen M — Google review

The history of discovering this site was interesting , how a farm became a discovery site and still they are working on. The guides inside are very helpful and willing to tell you the history helping finding out foot prints on the rock. It is beyond the movie limit and helps us thinking the reality before Jurassic not just looking for T-rex everywhere.I liked the place.

Soumyo B — Google review

This is a very small museum and kids probably won't enjoy it as much as the one at Thanksgiving Point. But despite the smaller size, it does have some cool stuff so it's worth going to see at least once.The exposed rocks on the floor reminded me of the wall of bones at Dinosaur National Monument. They don't have a lot of bone fossils though, mostly just tracks. But if you're interested in paleontology you'll really like it because they have fossils found nowhere else in the world, and dinosaur tracks give clues about dinosaur behavior that bone fossils just can't. Listening to the elderly gentleman talk about the swimming dinosaur tail tracks was quite interesting, and the fossilized water ripples in the sandstone was cool too.

David A — Google review

Great visit. So much to learn and the fossils are up close and wonderfully displayed. Docent Kenneth gave me a private tour after learning my level of interest. He was generous with his time and knowledge. I highly recommend taking time to visit when in St. George. Many thanks to Kenneth.

The Pa'rus Trail in Zion National Park is a 3.5-mile paved path that runs alongside the Virgin River, offering stunning views of iconic features like the West Temple and the Towers of the Virgin. This easy trail provides access to sandy beaches along the river, making it a great spot for some cooling off during hot summer days. The trail starts near the Visitor Center and ends at the Zion Nature Center, providing a leisurely walk through open fields with opportunities for stargazing.

In my opinion the best trail in this national park. You will be treated with amazing views of the national park. It was also pretty calm out here, so we could really soak in the atmosphere.

This is a beautiful Trail at Zion National Park. Our time slot for the shuttle to go to Angel's Landing was at 11.30 am, we reached the park parking area by 9 am and we had enough time to explore PA'RUS TRAIL.

Trisha D — Google review

This trail leads you on a paved path to the canyon entrance to the park. For the hardcore, you can take this trail into the canyon and beat the bus line on the busy days.On busy days the bus line can take 2 hours. Hiking this trail into the park and getting the bus at stop 4 is only an hour thirty. Just add 3 mils of hiking your day and get some amazing photo opportunities that are missed by most as the bus does not stop in these sections.

What more is there for me to say. It’s a beautiful park, various hiking trails, having to take shuttle to trails was a little bit of hassle, other than that, everything was great. Recommend that you go in by car not by walking/biking since it’s $30/car but $20/person if walk in.

It’s an awesome trail to go with kids, spectacular views. Note- scenic route buses don’t stop at number 3 to the valley, you can only take buses which comes back to visitor centre.

Vijaya B — Google review

Hike and Bike trail, extremely well paved and takes you from the visitor center to the entry point of the park. Rent an Ebike, skip the shuttle, and use this path to your advantage. The park is 24/7. Multiple bridges over the Virgin River lead to some incredible shots as you're nestled between the mountains. This path is incredibly easy with small pockets of shade. As you walk, you'll be doing a constant 360⁰ so try not to get too dizzy and minimize your rotations. 🤑

Wonderful paved trail located within Zion National Park that runs along the valley floor alongside the Virgin River. Suitable for walking, running, and biking. Can use e-bikes. Dogs may be walked on a leash.Trail has some gentle inclines and crosses several wide bridges. Family friendly. Some restrooms and picnic benches along the way.Park at Visitor Center and do as out and back. Trees beautiful in autumn. Some friendly deer alongside path.

Accessibility: truly a wheelchair accessible trail, paved and all flat ground. This is the ONLY wheelchair accessible trail in the entire park during winter as the other ones (Emerald pools trail) had ice all over the ground. This trail was not ice like the others.Experience: absolutely breathtakingly beautiful views. Definitely recommend this one to people of all ages and abilities.

Hiking Trails

Angels Landing is the most popular peak in Zion National Park, and for good reason. Its a steep climb up to stunning views of the valley below. The trail is challenging and strenuous, but well worth it to get those amazing views.

Here's why this is the ideal hike. Much of this hike is paved with many switchbacks and beautiful views the entire way. The view at the top, before the chains is spectacular. So if you don't win a lotto spot for the chains, this portion is definitely worth the hike.The chains portion was was fun and the additional views are certainly worth it, but honestly, the chains portion is more about the adventure than the views.

Steve C — Google review

On St Patrick's day we had the luck of the Irish and won the lottery to hike Angels Landing in Zion NP! My wife was too scared to hike the dangerous/best part. But my son and I did it, and the dangerous hike was well worth it for the amazing views!!! This is so far the best hike we've ever hiked!

Brian H — Google review

The hike is beautiful, but not for the faint of hearted. The scouts trail up is strenuous but doable uphill, and angels landing you need to be very careful. The whole experience is amazing though, definitely worth it.

Jaro F — Google review

This is the most beautiful and exciting hike I've ever done. You can do the full thing in around 4 hours. It looks scarier than it actually is and it's not difficult. Just be very careful to not slip on the sections without chains. You also need to get a permit (can apply the day before).

Kenzo M — Google review

One of the most infamous hikes in any National Park, and it is beyond worth it if you are up to the challenge. Honestly it is not too bad if you are a decently experienced hiker. The views are absolutely incredible and a great reward for completely the trek. It can be crowded since it is such a popular trail.

Shawn S — Google review

Such a beautiful hike. It is strenuous but with the views. Much of the path is paved so easy to walk on. Must register ahead of time if you want to be able to hike to the top portion of Angels landing where the trails are more narrow and they have chain to help you pull yourself up.

Absolutely gorgeous! A strenuous hike that's worth it when you get to the top! It was a bit icy and dicy so only got as far as the 3rd set of chains but still amazing!

Hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park was an unforgettable adventure for me. The trail started with a challenging climb up Walter's Wiggles, a series of steep switchbacks offering glimpses of the stunning Zion Canyon below. The highlight of the hike was the nerve-wracking but exhilarating narrow ridge leading to Angels Landing, where chains provided much-needed support along the sheer cliffs. Reaching the summit rewarded me with a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view that left me in awe. It's an absolute must-do for anyone seeking both adventure and the beauty of nature.

For thrill-seekers craving panoramic vistas, Angel's Landing in Zion National Park delivers. Its challenging, 1,488-foot ascent includes steep switchbacks and a narrow, chain-assisted ridge. Not for the faint-hearted, but the breathtaking summit views are a remarkable reward for the daring hiker.

Just did this trail right before the lottery went into effect. It was amazing!!! A bit scary for January as there was ice and snow on the trail. Some yak tracks helped in those places. This is worth the hike. My 11 yr old son and made it to scouts landing in about 45min of steady walking then it took another hour to make it up to the peak. In Jan there was not as many people as I've been told are there in the summer. Take your time and be respectful of those going up and down. There are plenty of passing locations that are wide enough to wait for a group to move through. The wiggles are pretty icy right now (in Jan) so stick to the edges and walls.

AWESOME hike! I was lucky to get a permit and hike Angel's landing, it was an amazing experience. Would love to do this again! The views are breathtaking!

Finally did it!Beautiful trail, not as scary as promoted especially with permits (not as many people)NOTE: permit is required and to get it you need to win a lottery which you can apply 3 month before or a day before a hike

Am absolutely gorgeous hike, I greatly miss the days when it did not require a permit. However, definitely try to get one, because the view is breathtaking

This is one of the most beautiful but challenging hikes in zion national park. This is a moderate to hard trail mostly due to the elevation changes and the switch backs to ascend to the start of the final ascent where the chain portion starts. You will need a permit to hike past scouts landing, which is where the chain section starts. There are a few spots on this section that are a bit intimidating. There are a number of spots that are a vertical climb with the chain, which I would advise people to take it slow and steady. The challenge is definitely worth the destination as you get a beautiful view of the park. I would HIGHLY recommend that you go early if you have that permit. We had a permit for before 9am. We got there around 7:30 which was the perfect time. Past 9am there were a lot more people hiking it which made the already daunting trail even more intimidating. If you aren't afraid of heights, this is definitely worth the hike.

Lindsey S — Google review

Wow! What a rewarding feeling when you complete this hike. If you have problems with heights, definitely avoid. Definitely on the moderate to difficult end from a hiking perspective. It’s about 2 miles of a fair ascent to get to the final difficult portion where you have portions you will use a chain for steady climbing with drops on both sides of you. Bring water and good shoes. Also, make sure you get your permit to be able to attempt the hike. The views at the end are amazing. Worth the hike. Highly recommend.

Cliff R — Google review

What a ripper of a hike! Absolutely loved it!The weather was great in early March 2024, dry and sunny. Make sure you bring your ID and get a permit for the hike. They do check it on the entrance to the hike. The checked me twice in fact, at the bottom of the hike, right after I got off the bus, and right before the Angels Landing hike itself. Bring snacks, bring water, sunscreen/sunglasses, and some layers just incase. You are in the mountains, so the weather does change.Don’t bring a massive pack with you. Angels landing hike is a bit triply at times, very very open. A great challenge if you are afraid of heights 😉😉 (like I am)I loved the hike up too. The formations are beautiful, the views are great, the path is very well maintained.It was already pretty busy on the hike, so may be try going in earlier in the day. Although note that if your permit is for midday, you won’t be able to start the Angels Landing portion until midday.Buses in Zion start running from early March until late November. This Bus is free. Comes every 5ish minutes.If in doubt on the way down, scutch on your bum for safety :) when looking around on your hike at the top, make sure you are grabbing onto something, because it can get very disorienting and dizzying being so high without anything around on top of a cliff face from both ends.Lots of cute chipmunks on the way up too! Watch out as they may get in your bags for snacks, if your bag is open/not attended.There are bathrooms at the bottom of the Angels Landing/at the Scouts lookout.Overall the sign at the bottom says that the hike can take you from 3-4 hours, which is representative. Depends how quickly you are willing to go through the height section, very open section at the top (a little technical). Also, how often you stop to take photos. I know someone who has done the whole thing in 2 hrs return, however they had no one around (no waiting on people in line), they did not take any photos/videos (as they were doing a PB), and they were not afraid of heights (so they moved super quickly), plus super fit ofcourse.

Nice trail, a little scary on the chain section but not that bad if you have good hiking experiences! The view is nice all the way on the chain section, but watch out if you plan to take pictures.

I was invited to hike Angel's Landing by my sister and it didn't disappoint. Not an easy trek, especially since I don't typically do that sort of thing, but well worth it and it's an experience I'll never forget.

Phil G — Google review

One of the more challenging and unique hikes I’ve ever done but the panoramic view at the top and satisfaction for completing such a challenging hike makes it all worth it. The most dangerous aspect of this hike is the other hikers but thankfully there was a ranger present to check permits to keep the crowd size to a safe maximum. I thought coming down from Angels Landing was actually more fun than ascending because you can kind of repel down the chains backwards.

Brandon H — Google review

I’m scared of heights and wasn’t sure if I’d end up doing Angels Landing (you need a permit), and I was prepared to turn back at any point if I felt fearful. But I never felt unsafe and actually did the whole thing confidently.Our ascent was slow and steady. It felt good to ask people on their way down about their experience. Everyone said it was great and was encouraging. We saw folk of all ages (kinda sus seeing little kids on this hike tho) and sizes, so the hike should be doable so long as you feel confident about your step and just hike normally with some extra caution (like not jumping and holding the chains even if not needed). I think if you’re able to climb the first chains part, then the rest will be similar and achievable.There are many wide areas throughout the hike that you can rest. Shade is a bit uncommon, but there is some. The steep parts all had chains so that provided peace of mind even if they weren’t necessarily required. I kept a hand on the chain when available just in case though. The chains were not hot and easy to grip with your bare hands. The parts without chains were comfortably wide and stable. The paths aren’t as narrow as a lot of videos make them out to be.The only time I became a bit wary was when two parties were trying to cross a chain part at the same time. Most of the time, we would just wait for the other party to pass, or vice versa, before continuing on so that was good. The hike was not crowded at all tooOverall, super fun and enjoyable.I did this in my normal tennis shoes bc I don’t have hiking shoes and felt my hiking boots would be too hot. However, my friends all wore their boots in the hot weather, so I recommend wearing hiking boots for this. Tennis shoes still fineDefinitely bring at least 2L of water. 1.5L might be too little. More than 2L is always better. There’s a refill station at the Grotto shuttle stopWe started the hike at 10.30am, took 2.5 hours to reach the peak, spent 30 mins at the top, then took 1.5 hours to reach the bottom again. We took plenty of rests and slight detours, so our time is prob on the higher end.Park at the Zion visitor center, then wait in line for the shuttle to stop 6 at the Grotto to begin this hike. The shuttle lines can be long so be prepared to wait like 30 mins.I recommend going earlier in the hike bc the heat can be brutal at peak day time. We definitely felt the heat beaming starting on our way down from Angels Landing. Some of the rocks were hot to touch on the descent, but had been fine earlier on the ascent. Also earlier means more shade in the earlier part of the hike before Angels Landing.Don’t touch the squirrels. They are aggressive trying to steal your food. The rangers said they can carry rabies and the plague, so avoid getting bitten.We visited Zion in mid-June and it was already getting to 95F weather. If I were to return, I’d probably come in like April or May instead. But the heat is not terrible if you start earlier, or take plenty of rests, and definitely bring a lot of water (2L+ per person!)Overall, I recommend this hike. Pretty fun, good views, and not as terrifying as some videos show.

Great hike. Little over 5 miles out and back. You will need a permit to go to the top of Angels Landing. If visting in winter, you will need some type of ice cleats or microspikes. Switchbacks were some decent incline. Go early to avoid waiting around some of those chain areas.

Randy N — Google review

The view at the top is worth the hike up. Steep switchbacks before being exposed to vertical drops on both ends until you reach the summit. It's definitely a memorable hike to say the least. But you'll have to ballot for the permit so remember to do that. And go early to avoid the crowd!

Joseph K — Google review

The scariest and the most spectacular hike I've done...twice. It will be like nothing you've done. I think it's a must when visiting Utah, though you definitely need to be in good shape, both for the long hike in and for the hike UP. Those with knee issues would want to wear braces or tape. Poles would help some, for sure.

Angels Landing In Zion National Park, Utah, USA is a destination to be visited even if you have to drive one hundred miles. The landscapes views are amazing and awe inspiring. Should be in your list if you are staying long term in the area.

Took a quick hike almost to the top around 1985. Chickened out maybe 200 feet from the summit when the "trail" became so narrow ya could see down both sides at the same time. Great views though

Ken K — Google review

Angels Landing was amazing. During your trip give yourself time to participate in the lottery for going on the angels landing trail. If you don’t win the lottery you can’t go on the full trail, but the view from even there is awesome. Bring water. There are some interesting turns, and amazing views as you go up, so take time to look around.

Russell I — Google review

Even if playing the lottery can get a little annoying, hang in there! It is worth it!If you are in decent shape, you can hike this; it’s really not as grueling or scary as some make it out to be! I did it at the end of my first trimester. Have confidence :) I saw all ages of people on this hike that made it to the top. Although, I can see you having an issue if you’ve got a bad fear of heights; at some points, the climb is vertical and it gets steep.It is a really fun journey to get up there and you will feel accomplished and happy that you did it.You will also see cool condors and aggressively cute chipmunks that aren’t shy to beg for your snacks.If I were to do it again, I’d pack a lunch to eat at the top.Pack plenty of water and wear sunscreen! Wear decent shoes though for sure. I wore a pair of Brooks Glycerins and did just fine.

Vii L — Google review

IMO the Best hike in America. Only thing is you need a permit to hike it…which is cheap. It’s incredible, these pics and videos do no justice at all.

Chase S — Google review

How I've done this twice now is beyond me - I'm terrified of heights! Just hold onto the chains tight, be patient as people back up in either direction, and try to focus on the trail in front of you (instead of looking down). This trail isn't necessarily challenging physically, just mentally, especially on the trip back to the trailhead.

The Narrows is a popular, scenic slot canyon hike in Zion Canyon that offers an adventurous experience for hikers. The trail involves wading through ankle to waist-deep river passages, jumping into sandstone swimming pools, and some rock scrambling. It can be accessed from either the Riverside Walk at Temple of Sinawava or Chamberlain Ranch for a full canyoneering adventure.

9 mile out and back hike up the virgin River. Unforgettable waterfalls and rock formations. Seeing sunlight filter through snow melt from the rocks is a unique experience. If you pay close attention you can see a number of small springs bubbling up into the river, and openings to larger cavities in the rock. Definitely recommend getting waterproof bibs and shoes for rent in the March-April season. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Jenya P — Google review

This is a difficult hike but extremely rewarding. This may have been the best most unique hike of my life no joke. it is hard to see the rocks and it's easy to slip, but you get used to it after 45 minutes or so. Know you limits and do not rush. We did the whole trail that you don't need a permit for and it practically took all day but it was amazing. Go Early to avoid the crowd and the heat! Trust me this is worth waking up early for. Get the rental gear too if you can. My feet are usually always cold but these neoprene boots kept my feet warm the whole time! This is a once in a lifetime hike and scenery to do with the ones that you love! Have fun!

Easy but long trail it takes much longer walking against the water but way back is very short. The water is chilly in August beginning while the weather is super hot, it felt amazing.

Shivani S — Google review

If you're looking for a phenomenal hike!! Start with this hike. Early morning, it could take from one hour to 4 or 5 hours. It all depends on the distance you want to travel.Be careful with the rocks. You definitely need two sticks, if possible. It helps you balance yourself. As you're walking through the Rocky River.The views are amazing breathtaking!! 👏 Something you have to see for yourself with your own eyes I highly recommend it.

Rosie M — Google review

What a fun family hike in the river, and what awesome cuts through the sandstone! The water was cold, yet was about 2.5 feet deep at most at end of May. Having two trekking poles (as opposed to just one) and wading sandals/watershoes with decent tread really helped with stability in the river. The morning air/breeze was cold, so windbreaker jackets are recommended at the very least! Some of the best, most fascinating portions of the hike were right before arriving at Orderville Gulch - definitely worth the trek!

Brian B — Google review

A must do when in Zion. Once you get to the parking area there is about a 1 mile nice paved walk. Thereafter, the hike starts to involve walking in cold water and in some instances there are strong currents. It's a very nice and unforgettable experience.

Mom of two teenagers, age 14 & 18, as a family of four we absolutely LOVED the narrows. CONTEXT, June 2024 summer hike, prepared with proper equipment and the right amount of water and food. The weather was perfect, hot and no threat of rain or flash flood. This hike was one of the best memories. We rented gear in Springfield, and LOVED hiking in the mid day. We started at 1pm, and ended at 7pm. Highly recommend for anyone able. This is a must do!

Renee F — Google review

This is one of the most epic hikes - but there are many things to consider so that your hike is enjoyable and safe. Information below will be for a bottom up hike (out and back) that does not require a permit.Gear: The Narrows can be hiked year round. In colder months, you want to be sure to get the appropriate gear so that your core body temperature does not drop. We rented waders, water shoes, neoprene socks, and a walking stick from Zion Outfitters. This kept us warm when hiking in March. The stick was such a valuable part of the gear because it is challenging to find solid footing at times when walking through the river. The stick helps you to maintain balance. *You can pick up your gear after 4 on the day before your hike so you can start early the next morning.Water: You will need to pack in your own water. The water in the Virgin River is not potable due to cyanobacteria.Parking: From mid-March to October, the park runs a shuttle bus from the visitor center to the Temple of Sinawava (the stop for The Narrows). If the shuttle is not running, you will have to drive to the parking lot at the Temple of Sinawava. Due to limited parking - get there very early (before sunrise) to get parking. You can rest in your car once you have a spot. If you arrive late, you. will have to park up the road at other roadside spots, and. this will add additional miles to your hike.Distances: From the Temple of Sinawava, you begin walking on the Riverside Walk Trail. This is an easy, paved path for approximately 1.5 miles. At the end of this path, stairs lead down to the river. At this point, you will begin walking in the river. The water can get waist deep (or higher). Check with the park rangers before doing The Narrows because flash flooding can be dangerous.You can walk as far as you want and then turn around to return to the Temple of Sinawava. If you want to see Wall Street (where the canyon becomes narrrow), you will need to walk approximately 2 miles once you enter the water at the end of The Riverside Walk Trail.

Frank P — Google review

Amazing hike, but crowded as f.I've done the Narrows "top-down" a couple times, and THAT is a beautiful hike. You spend the first three quarters in complete solitude, and it's really beautiful and peaceful. Magical.But hikers from the bottom of the canyon are able to hike up to Big Spring without a permit, and after this point (coming down) it becomes increasing busy, and by the last mile or so before the Temple of Sinawava it becomes extremely crowded. This is perhaps the most spectacular section, so most people get to see it, but few get to enjoy it because you spend more time navigating around other hikers than you do marvelling at the incredible scenery.Zion Narrows is perfect for tourists, but I'd advise real adventurers, and anyone looking for a little solitude, to go for the top-down, or to look elsewhere. The top-down is limited by permit, and is said to be a "minimum 10 hour" hike. But this old fat man did it easily in six and a half including the mile-long Riverside Walk to the shuttle, which is not generally considered part of the hike.As for practicalities, the bottom up hike is almost entirely in the river. Choice of footwear makes a big difference. I've done it top down in the river boots you can rent in Springdale, and these are perfect - great grip, warm and lots of support. But I've also done it bottom up in FiveFIngers and barefoot - and if you are a confident walker - it's perfectly doable. The rocks in this lower part are a little more slippery than further up the river, so be careful, but they are not very slippery. A stick helps with balance when you are choosing your footing in the river's faster flowing sections, a trekking pole works OK, but the stout wooden sticks provided by the Narrows Outfitters are even better.

We did the first mile of The Narrows trail with our 13, 12 and 3 year old (she was in a carrier) and it took my breath away with the beauty. This is a must do if you're visiting Zion. There were people of all fitness levels and ages on the path. I'll be back to do the full hike someday!

The narrows trail at Zion National Park is amazing. It’s very exciting to go there in the water, and the trail itself is beautiful, overlooking the mountains and nature. This is one of the best, if not best, trails in Zion and really one of the best I had ever done.

Shay P — Google review

Went in August 2023 water was refreshing surprisingly not cold. Lots of rocks under water , having a stick was useful. I hired the socks and shoes at Zion Park , the socks and shoes stopped the sand getting in and were very comfortable. I saw many wearing there normally hiking shoes and a few in water shoes. 2.5 litres of water was enough. I could go to very end after big rock as I didnt have a dry bag and you had to swim.

This was my second time hiking the Narrows and it’s such a wonderful hike. Be prepared to take a bus to the starting trail and then it’s about a mile hike to the start of the narrows. Hiking sticks and water shoes are an absolute must. The more prepared you are, the more fun you’ll have.

It was our first time visiting Zion National Park. We decided it would be fun to hike the Narrows. This is a hike through a river that has changing depths from ankle deep to chest deep. While walking through the river, you are walking on a bed of stones, all shapes and sizes. They move as you try to walk through. It was a challenging hike but the views were gorgeous, unlike anything we had ever seen before. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area!

Tab C — Google review

The best hike i ever experienced!!!We took the bus from the visitor center in zion park and were droped at the entrance of the narrows. We walked aprox 10 min to get there and on the way we saw wild deer and squirels. Once you reach the entrance you better have water shoes. The views were breathtaking and the whole experience is out of this world. I would highly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for an amazing and unique hike!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!I have been wanting to do this hike for years! Finally went for it! I will say I was not prepared for the water to be as cold as it was!!!!!! Brrrrrrr........next time I will definitely wear a wet suit! It was 102 degrees but the water is almost all located in the shaded areas and it makes it that much colder! But it was by far soooooooo much fun! We git up super early to do this and secured a good parking spot at the visitors center and when we went out it was already starting to pack with people but it was so much fun!

Hike of a lifetime! Went in mid-October with my siblings. Rented gear from Zion Guru (a must) as water temps in The Narrows were in the 40's. The gear allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking sights for as long as daylight would permit. Water was relatively low...except for "the hole" about .2 of a mile into the hike. I'm 5'3" and the water was chest deep on me.

Bonnie H — Google review

Most spectacular hike of your life, if you go the distance! Don't you dare turn around at the first deep section that goes above your waist which is just a short distance into the hike. That is the deepest point you have to go through for a very very long time, at least until you get to the split of the river and see the really narrow sections which is where we turned around. You won't be disappointed if you go further into the hike and see what's around the next bend and the next and the next....make a day of this hike and soak it all in.

5 years ago I went to Angels Landing, today I went to the Narrows to check off my bucket list.When we arrived at Zion gate at 9:00 in the morning, all parking lots in the park were full. We could only park at roadside with a wide shoulder and walked to the Visit Center to ride park shuttle. The shuttle is free, but the line was half mile long. The shuttle has 9 stops in total, each going to several trailheads. The famous Angels Landing is at the 5th stop, Narrows is at 9th stop, and it is also the last stop. We arrived by 11 o'clock. We spent 7 hours at the Narrows, finally got exhausted with total 7.66 miles, which felt like a 20-mile in my normal hike. It was a truly unique experience. There was same long line for returning shuttle bus and by the time I got back to the Visit Center, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.Most of The Narrows is submerged in water, up to the knees, few places little above the waist, and couple of places up to the chest. The roe in the river is so smooth that I fell over four times, my pants and shoes were always wet, and my sheet got wet seven or eight times, and was dried by body heat again. For last mile, we needed to pass the river up to chest, and I gave it a last thought and eventually gave up. Although it's not easy, visitors flocked to Narrows, just to appreciate its beauty.

I've wanted to hike the narrows since I was a kid. I moved back east with family but recently got the chance to do a half day. We did 5 miles in with a total of 10 miles. My mistakes were as follows.Wearing light pants. You're better off with biker shorts.Incorrect footwear. Get or rent ankle boots with neoprene socks.Dry bag for all your food and electronics. I borrowed a waterproof phone case, and a lot of my pics were fuzzy.Bring a stick. I borrowed 1, and I would have fallen a lot more without it.Plan your visit! I read so many blogs, and the one I followed was wrong.Enjoy the beauty

Best hike ever. We went in July and the water was a little brown, it wasn’t clear as shown in other pictures. The hike was moderate, my kids really enjoyed it becuz they got to walk in the water. We started from the entrance and walked for 3 hours to the tributary then walk back for another 3 hours.

There are a few things you need to know before doing this hike. This is a difficult hike but extremely rewarding.-listen to the weather reports as it can be dangerous in heavy rain downpours-go early to avoid the crowd and the heat! You can start later in the day in summer but parking is very tricky 😏-get the rental gear and walking stick, (the neoprene boots will keep your feet warm)- bring dry bags, the water can be above thigh to waist high, protect your electronics only bring water and foodSome hikers choose to go barefoot and not use walking sticks BIG MISTAKE!! They undoubtedly will fall and get frustrated, don’t be that person! Be smart and rent the recommended gear. Some areas the waters can get up to waist high level, strong currents, and slippery rocks. Some of these rocks are hard to see and it's easy to slip, but you get the hang of it after 30 minutes or so. Know your limits take it slow, you will be fine. You will see people of all fitness levels and ages on the path. This trail will take you all day to complete. Enjoy and have fun!

Lourdes S — Google review

Beautiful hike, you definitely need to rent gear ( we rented at Zion adventures co ). I would recommend coming wearing swim wear since the water gets waist deep in areas. Shuttling to and from the hike took hours. Overall a really nice hike though I don’t think our Zion experience would be the same without the narrows!

I've been here twice and it's incredible. If you plan to hike, you should go in the morning, take some food, water, some extra clothes. The Hike takes around 6-8 hours and its around 10 miles (back and forth).

The Kolob Canyons in Zion National Park are a series of red rock canyons that offer great views. They're accessible via a scenic drive or a hike, and there are plenty of trails for hiking if the crowds are thick.

Visited Kolob Canyon today. A lot of bang for the buck. Great scenic drive through the canyon…beautiful! Hiked a short hike at the end of the road 1.2 miles round trip, Timber Creek Overlook trail, well worth it. Then on the way out hiked the Taylor creek trail, two settler cabins and great views of soaring mountains. About 5 miles round trip. Love this place!

Just off of I-15 and only a 5 mile road that have some wonderful vistas. We happened to go on a day that had snowed. The snow added to the contrast of the red rocks. There is a $35 National Park fee. We were lucky we have a National Park pass.

Brad Y — Google review

This is such a great addition to Zion National Park. Zion has two parts, the huge, heavily populated side (totally worth going to) and this side. You can really get a great appreciation of the landscape in a short amount of time here. It is also much easier to get to, since it is just an exit off the highway and you are there. We went to the other side of Zion one day, and visited this one on the way back from Bryce Canyon NP. We didn't do any trails, but this would definitely be the way to go if you are short on time, or if have small children. We loved Zion, but the easier trails we were sticking too were heavily populated and are used as a connector trail to get to some of the harder and more popular ones. So we felt like we were in others way going at our small children walking pace. Kolob would have probably been a better place to family hike. The drive alone is spectacular. At the top there is a nice infographic with the elevations of the mountains listed. It's pretty humbling to see the thousand feet differences in the mountains right in front of you, giving you a better idea just how huge the cliffs are.

A little lesser known and not nearly as crowded part of Zion National Park. Did a short hike that crossed a creek several times. Beautiful scenery all around. The staff at the welcome center were so kind and informative. They really made my day!

A nice much less crowded northern part of Zion that you can drive through. Bring a picnic lunch. Great place for someone with accessibility issues.

This is the northern section of Zion. However, it is about an hour away from the main entrance.The best part is it is just as scenic and is NOT crowded!We included it on our plans as we were driving from Bryce back to Las Vegas.The road is a very short drive to the end and there is a one mile hike that ends in a very scenic view of the entire canyon! Definitely worth the extra hike.There is also a very nice shaded picnic area at the end of the road with latrines.We spent about two hours which allowed us just enough time to see it.There are several hiking trails that are available if you really wanted to experience the area.I am glad we stopped by!

The Lee Pass trailhead comes out to about 15 miles round trip, recommended for some amazing scenic views of the north side of Zion National Park. The wind can get pretty bad and the arch is (sort of) underwhelming as it doesn’t protrude as much and is hard to see. Beautiful hike

If you want to avoid the insane crowds in Zion go here. Spectacular views and a few hikes to do.

Nice scenic 5 mile drive with some spectacular views and rock formations. Kolob Canyon is right off Highway 15 so there’s easy access on and off. There is a nice hike at the top, I didn’t do it but will next time.

North part of Zion National Park. Same beauty without the huge crowds. There are hiking options & overlook point for photos. There are restrooms at Taylor Creek Trail & South Fork. South Fork has a small picnic area with 3 picnic tables too, limit shade so they can be hot.

It was an amazing day we had fun on all of the trails. Our kids had a blast Hilo up all kinds of areas and walls and finding different kinds of rocks. All in all it was a great day.

Kolob Canyons is a great, 5-mile scenic drive through Zion’s National Park! There are lots of good trails for hiking, but also plenty of spots to just pull off and enjoy the view. They have nice bathrooms at several of the trailheads.Also, there wasn’t hardly any traffic when I went, which was especially surprising for a nice, summer evening.
