The 9 Best Parks in Las Vegas
"As for your foliage needs, let’s make our way over to the Bellagio Conservatory where throughout the year, hundreds of horticulturists arrange thousands of flowers into the most beautiful and large botanical arrangements in the city. Inspired by various happenings around the world including the Chinese New Year, seasonal trends, fashion and aquatic life, the Bellagio Conservatory is totally free and is a sight that you must see to believe. Just imagine roses of all colors coming together to create an underwater paradise… see, you really do have to come in and see it for yourself."
"Before the Bellagio, not many people in Las Vegas knew what a conservatory was. Today, this beautiful indoor display of horticultural creativity is one of the city's best-known (and free) attractions. As the seasons and holidays change, the staff of the Conservatory swoops in to create sculptures and scenes made with plants, flowers, and other materials."
"The Bellagio Conservatory is a fun Vegas photo spot because the conservatory changes seasonally. That means that you are sure to get a unique photo with the seasonal displays when you visit. Not only was visiting the Bellagio Conservatory one of my favorite things to do in Las Vegas, but it was also one of the more unique spots I’ve ever photographed."
"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."
"Highlights: Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Flagstaff Mountains We always recommend flying into Las Vegas because there are all sorts of extremely affordable flights that fly into this world-famous city. If you can, try to catch an early morning flight into Las Vegas because it leaves time for exploring. This is the easiest and cheapest way to make Las Vegas the starting point for your Arizona road trip itinerary."
"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."
"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."
"One of Southern Nevada’s unique trail experiences, the Historic Railroad Trail is dog-friendly hiking trail along a former railroad grade with breathtaking panoramic views of the Lake Mead and Boulder Basin area. Designated as a national recreation trail, the 7.5-mile Historic Railroad Trail shares the rich history of the creation of Lake Mead and the construction of the Hoover Dam and winds through five massive tunnels, each approximately 300 feet in length and 25 feet in diameter, and along a portion of the original railroad route that was used between Boulder City and the Hoover Dam in the mid-1900s. Boulder City, NV 89005, Phone: 702-293-8990"
"Designated a Historic National Trail, this hike is an awesome opportunity to connect with nature while learning. The trail goes through 5 old railroad tunnels, which were last used in 1961. It’s also the last part of the Hoover Dam Railroad system that isn’t disturbed or underwater."
"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."
"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."
"This church reminds us of the large population of Roman Catholics in Las Vegas, who was instrumental in the formation of this desert paradise. Located within “The Strip”, this church preserves the old Las Vegas in pristine condition, amidst the fast-paced urban developments. This basilica-styled church is famous for its stained-glass mural which depicts the resorts on the Strip in flames and is one of the central churches in Las Vegas."
"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."
"ST FRANCIS-ASSISI FAITH FRMTN is located approximately 17 miles from Boulder City. Regarded as one of the best Churches in Boulder City area, ST FRANCIS-ASSISI FAITH FRMTN is located at 2300 SUNRIDGE HEIGHTS PKWY. Their phone number is (702) 914-2175."
"Cheyenne Ave. has an impressive variety of Dough'sants (also known as cronuts, also known as hipster baklava because we just made that up). You may have tried a standard-issue dough’sant, but Coco offers flakey layers of crunchy and sweet paired with glaze, powdered sugar, icings or coconut. If you’re a croissant connoisseur or maybe glazed dough is just not bougie enough for you, Coco might be the place for you."
"Coco Donuts has a wide variety of donuts are all have different names. They refer to their donuts as cronuts, dough ‘sants, and a variety of other nicknames. Many people who visit Coco Donuts call their creations hipster baklava."
