When it’s time to get away, Las Vegas has plenty of diversions.  To help with your plans, here are three of our favorite Las Vegas side trips — and a great offer to stay at Silverton.

Las Vegas Side Trip #1:  Red Rock Canyon

Red Rock Canyon Las Vegas

It’s  the perfect time of the year to visit Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which features a 13-mile scenic drive, miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, horseback riding, mountain biking, road biking, and picnic areas and many other outdoor recreation opportunities…  just 25 minutes away from Silverton.

The Scenic Drive, a 13 mile paved road, provides access to explore the many special canyons and sandstone hills in the heart of the canyon. There are 12 different trailheads and free parking areas to begin your next outdoor adventure. A visitor center provides a great introduction to the unique natural and cultural history of this area along with safety and orientation information.

Note:   Currently, Red Rock Canyon has a timed entry reservation system.  All vehicles entering the Scenic Drive need a free reservation, which is available online.

Las Vegas Side Trip #2:  Town Square

Town Square Las Vegas

‘Tis the season for outdoor shopping!  Just a few miles from Silverton, Town Square is a premier one-of-a-kind retail and entertainment destination, featuring 26 architecturally distinctive buildings, public parks , and water features.  Park your car and stroll around, visiting 150 retailers – from Apple to Zumiez, and every brand in between.

When it’s time to head indoors, Town Square is also home to  AMC 18 Theatres and Stoney’s Rockin’ Country.

Las Vegas Side Trip #3:  AREA 15

AREA 15 Las Vegas

AREA 15 is a new immersive playground in Las Vegas, all rolled into a vast and vibrant entertainment district.  It’s one of the great Las Vegas side trips.  Throw an axe, wander through a bamboo volcano, race on a zip line, or explore other mesmerizing realms.  From the futuristic to the thrill-seeking, there’s an experience for everybody here.

Dozens of featured experiences include VAN GOGH – The Immersive Experience,  the MEOW WOLF Omega Mart attraction, Sanctuary Sessions Silent Disco,  the Army of the Dead VR Experience, Lost Spirits Distillery, and the brand new illuminarium, which opens April 15.
