"The flowers, trees, and other plants in Bellagio's soaring atrium are fresh and alive, grown in a 5-acre greenhouse. The artistic floral…"
"At the height of the Depression, thousands of men and their families migrated here and worked in excruciating conditions, dangling hundreds of feet above Black Canyon in 120°F (about 50°C) heat to build this massive 726ft-high dam, completed ahead of schedule and under budget in 1936. Ninety-six workers lost their lives building the iconic art-deco styled structure, which redefines the stark landscape. Tours of the dam structure begin at the Hoover Dam Parking Garage & Visitor Center."
"The Memorial Bridge, mentioned above, gives a spectacular view of the Hoover Dam, which is located in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River. It was opened in 1936 and was built to control floods and produce hydroelectric power. Today, the Hoover Dam is still in use and there are two lanes of traffic that run across it."
"Hemenway Park allows visitors the opportunity to closely mingle with bighorn sheep that come down from the nearby mountains to graze. The park also has playground equipment, gazebos, sport courts, and a view of Lake Mead."
"Lorenzi Park was the vision of David G. Lorenzi, a French immigrant who bought 80 acres of property around two miles west of the first townsite in 1912. The park started as Lorenzi’s Lake Park in 1926 with a dance pavilion, pool, lakes, and gardens. It is recorded on the city’s Historic Property Register as a historic region and on the Nevada State Register of Historic places."
"Floyd Lamb Park, at Tule Springs, is a pleasing oasis with its 680-acre park, with luxuriant vegetation, animals, lakes, and sightseeing’s of the Sheep and Spring Mountain Ranges. The momentous Tule Springs Ranch is gathered inside the park and provides chances for visitors to learn about the conventional working ranch and early Las Vegas lifestyle. The park provides a number of programs."
"One of the quieter destinations of Las Vegas, Floyd Lamb Park offers several hundred acres of lush vegetation for visitors who want to get away from the noise and pollution of the city for awhile. Nature trails wind through the park for walking, jogging and mountain biking. Picnic areas have freshly-cut grass and the sweet fragrance of flowers."
"Right at the heart of Tule Springs lies an amazing haven among the desert area. At Floyd Lamb Park, you’ll find everything you’ll want for your outdoor getaway. This 680-acre park has numerous large ponds that support plant and animal life, lush vegetation, lakes, and views of the Sheep and Spring Mountains."
"HendersonThe chef perfected his craft working at restaurants on the Strip and now has his own place in a location that used to be a New York-style diner. He’s on mission to keep hungry mouths away from all-you-can-eat sushi places while emphasizing the freshest fish from Japan. Don’t be surprise if you see a live lobster waving at you before dinner is served."
"The world famous cupcake and ice cream shop Sprinkles is located in the LINQ open air venue and serves some of the most decadent desserts on the strip. They are open every day and feature the world’s first cupcake ATM where visitors can have freshly baked cupcakes dispensed 24/7, even when the shop is closed!"
"Sprinkles Cupcakes opened in Beverly Hills in 2005 and is now at over 20 locations across the US. We were very excited when they opened a shop in Las Vegas at The LINQ’s outdoor avenue. Sprinkles freshly bakes and handcrafts the tastiest and coolest looking cupcakes we have ever had the pleasure of eating."
"Sprinkles at The Linq Promenade is a cheery bakery known for its rotating menu of cupcakes, ice cream & cookies from natural ingredients. A one of a kind cupcake ATM your kids will love. They also have vegan and sugar-free options as well."
"What is a list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, without including a couple of places to grab cookies?. Cookies are the dessert for people who don’t want to commit to something bigger, or maybe don’t have the room in their belly!. Crumbl Cookies is one of the best central palces to grab cookies in Las Vegas, and it’s not just the normal cookies that will catch you attention here… It’s the ice cream and cookie sandwiches!"
"Part Italian market, part upscale eatery, and part wonderland for the food-obsessed, Eataly at the Park MGM takes you on a culinary tour from Turin to Sicily with an array of authentic offerings to nosh on as you meander. Neapolitan-style pizza with a beautifully burnished crust, creamy Sicilian cannoli, homemade pasta, perfectly cooked fresh fish and sustainable meats, and glorious Italian cheeses tempt at every turn. Two restaurants, three bars, and a Cucina del Mercato (or “kitchen of the market,” with six food counters) mean there’s something delicious for everyone and plenty of great vino to wash it all down."
"In most of its other locations, the massive Italian marketplace doesn’t immediately scream “family.” But the Park MGM location—whose 40,000 square feet of dining stations are devoted to fantastic Neapolitan pizza, fresh pastas, and decadent filled-to-order cannoli—is perfect for kids who want to wander a little and parents who want to dine on seriously great dishes with a glass of wine.

"In a town where it's not easy to single out steakhouses, we named Carnevino the best of them all. The praise is well-deserved for Mario Batali, who along with partner Joe Bastianich has an impressive Italian-American empire at the sister Venetian and Palazzo resorts. B&B Ristorante offers fine dining elegance, while B&B Burger & Beer goes for the casual crowd."
"Located in Las Vegas, this Japanese-style dessert shop makes delicious Japanese pastries, cakes and other signature dishes such as strawberry shortcake, cream puffs, custard pudding, whole cakes and a host of speciality dishes. All the patisseries are made of seasonal ingredients and they ensure that all their food is made fresh and satiate your sweet tooth."
