9. Venture to the Desert

Although it's easy to forget in the extravagance of the Strip, Las Vegas is a desert city, and the landscape has its own beauty to explore. Red Rock Canyon is just 30 minutes from Las Vegas and has a range of hikes to suit all levels of ability. If you'd prefer to see a man-made wonder, the Hoover Dam is also close to the city. The Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is free to walk across and offers spectacular views of the Dam and Lake Mead.
