Who needs the all night party and the all day hangover… Discover the other side of Las Vegas off the strip and have just as much fun.

The Other Side of Las Vegas…


Forget the Night Life, Casino Action and a ugly hangover;
Las Vegas has another side off the strip that provides just as much fun. Learn
how you can discover some great activities off the strip and still enjoy Las
Vegas.


Green Valley Ranch Resort


The Green Valley Ranch is in the East Valley side of Las
Vegas and offers a great location to venture off the strip and enjoy some great
activities. The resort is family friendly and affordable during the Fall /
Winter season. Room rates range $79 to $159 per night, (check with hotel for
exact pricing). GVR has a great pool, spa, and a variety of shopping and
restaurants all at the resort location. This hotel is known as a local’s
hangout and has a comfortable, laid back feel and personality. I liked this
resort because I did not feel surrounded by the crowds that you typically find
at most of the resorts on the strip.


Mountain Biking


Hoover Dam/ Bolder City


There are two sides of the valley that surround Las Vegas.
The East Valley side is where you will find Bolder City and Lake Mead. This is
the home of the River Mountains Trail. You can bring your own Mtn. Bike or
arrange a guided tour complete with a rental bike through KyakLasVegas.com.
These folks will not let you down and will cater your ride according to your
skill level. The River Mountains Trail is easy to moderate and great for sight
seeing.


Red Rock Canyon


In less than 30 minutes from my hotel, I drove to the other
side of Las Vegas, called Red Rock Canyon. This national park area is ideal for
the person who loves anything to do with the outdoors. Everywhere you look,
there is someone road cycling, running, hiking, rock climbing, and of course,
mountain biking. You can arrange a tour with LasVegasCyclery.com and they
supply everything. I took a more advanced, single-track trail ride and my ride was
cut short due to a broken chain.


Golf


Tuscany Golf Club is located on the way to Lake Mead on the
Henderson side of the valley. It is resort course design and has beautiful
homes outlying most of the 18 holes. It is a family friendly golf course,
however, make sure you call the golf shop and let them know that you have
children who golf and they will accommodate your tee time. The golf range and
practice area is modest and practical. The price for a round was reasonable at
$40 per player. I saved by going online at,(GolfNow.com). For more information
on the golf course layout and current conditions, contact TuscanyGolfClub.com
