If you're seeking a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, look no further than Red Rock Canyon. Situated about 15 miles west of the city in the easternmost part of the Mojave Desert, this area is home to the Keystone Thrust, also known as Wilson Cliffs, a massive red rock formation with sandstone peaks and walls that can reach 3,000 feet high. It's an ideal destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, bicycling, and camping. Red Rock Canyon offers a 13-mile, one-way, scenic drive with plenty of options for hiking and trails and opportunities to learn about plants and wildlife, geology, camping, cultural resources, and more. The Visitor Center is the perfect place to start your exploration, offering information and interpretation about the recreation opportunities available.
The Fremont Street Experience is a must-see destination in Las Vegas, spanning five blocks of Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. This portion of the street is closed to traffic for visitors to enjoy the attractions. The main feature at FSE is the 1,500-foot-long LED screen canopy that illuminates with over 12 million LED lamps. The canopy screenplays show Lucky Vegas, American Freedom, Don McLean's American Pie, A Tribute to Queen, and KISS Over Vegas while music blares in the background. It's worth keeping an eye on FSE's calendar as two stages on site have hosted concerts from bands like Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Diffie, Foghat, the Doobie Brothers, and more. The majority of the concerts held at the attraction are free.
