The Nevada State Museum is reborn at the Springs Preserve By Renée LiButti (All photos by Ryan Shewchuk) Vegas.com Park the DeLorean. Unhand the remote control. Step out of the phone booth. You won’t need any of the clever contraptions from “Back to the Future,” “Click” or “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in Las Vegas. [...]
Fall is actually my favorite season. It’s not too hot, windy or cold. Jackets are optional and stepping on all the crackling leaves never gets old. Plus, the combination of the sun and cool air makes me cherish the autumn months in Vegas. Springs Preserve and fall in Vegas is like a match made in heaven. Not [...]
This weekend in Vegas it’s all about braving the heat to experience a slew of fun activities from a patio party at RHUMBAR at the Mirage to a Friday night movie under the stars at Lake Las Vegas. When it comes to entertainment, comedy fans are in luck. Jerry Seinfeld, Gilbert Gottfried and Bill Engvall [...]
Who misses going on school field trips? I know I do. Visiting the Springs Preserve’s Wild Animal Interaction one weekend brought all those feelings back. It’s not every day you can hang out with little critters (nieces, nephews, cousins and siblings don’t count, guys!). Not only do you get to hang out with these fun [...]

I’m just about done with this cold weather. Sure, it’s not as cold as it is in other parts of the country. But when you’re used to 100-degree weather and wearing shorts at nighttime during the summer, dealing with this cold isn’t the easiest for the typical Las Vegan.

Just 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, the Springs Preserve’s gardens are awash in blooming cactus, wildflowers and perennials. The 180-acre cultural and historical attraction houses exhibits, [...]
