Bonnie
Springs/Old Nevada
- Less than a half an hour west of Las Vegas in Blue Diamond
is a pretty close to authentic re-creation of the old Nevada
West.
There's a FREE petting zoo for the kids with a quaint
restaurant and bar on premises for Mom and Dad to relax from
the heat.
For a small admission fee, visit an old western mining town
that's both educational and entertaining. All day is complete
with periodic gunfights, stage shows and hangings. The melodrama
is not-to-be missed. Deputized children help the sheriff capture
the villains.
The Wild West awakes daily with gunfights and hangings staged
in the main street. Adding to the authentic western motif, they
treat visitors to silent movies, an opera house, museums, a
cemetery and a FREE mini train running throughout the grounds.
It's a fun treat for the whole family.
Admission to the zoo is free, admission prices to Old Nevada
are $6.50 adult, $5.50 seniors and $4 children 5-11. Head straight
West on Charleston Blvd past Red Rock Canyon. 702-875-4191. |
