Things To Do
Gilcrease Orchard
Near to the venue and hotel recommendations. This was Ted and Bill’s dream, that the Gilcrease Orchard would be a place where families could bring their children and enjoy a sampling of the kind of life the brothers knew. They wanted to preserve this unique gem where the community can pick food fresh off the tree or vine and see, feel, and taste the difference. Through their non-profit foundation, they aimed to provide recreational and educational experiences that teach children where our food comes from and how it is grown, helping to foster an appreciation for the earth’s bounty and a healthy lifestyle.
Floyd Lamb Park
Near to the venue and hotel recommendations. The Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is a welcome oasis with its 680-acre park with wildlife, lush vegetation, lakes and views of the Sheep and Spring Mountain Ranges. The historic Tule Springs Ranch is tucked inside the park and provides opportunities for visitors to learn about the traditional working ranch and early Las Vegas lifestyle.
The Las Vegas Farm and The Farm Experience
Near to the venue and hotel recommendations. The Ole’ Time Farmers Market and BARN BUDDIES RESCUE (BBR) is open year-round on Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm. There is no charge to shop the market. If you’d like to visit the BBR animals, the entrance fee is $10 for guests 13+ and $5 for guests 12 and under. Infants are not charged.
Pinball Hall of Fame
We went here on one of our first dates in the summer of 2019. The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further this cause. The games belong to one club member and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. And, since it's a non-profit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
This is where we went the night Cameron asked me to be his girlfriend. Each season, the enormously talented Horticulture and Engineering teams transform the 14,000-square-foot Botanical Gardens into a showcase of inspiring sights, sounds, scents and colors. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter are all featured—along with a special display for Lunar New Year. When the seasons change so do the displays. The talented Conservatory team changes out the design and also replants and repurposes as much of the living plant material as possible, further celebrating Mother Nature and our commitment to sustainability.
Downtown Container Park
We have visited the container park a few times to enjoy some live music, look around the shops, and play some games. Experience Downtown Container Park, an open-air shopping center filled with boutique retail shops, unique restaurants, and live entertainment for the whole family – located in the heart of Las Vegas! From gourmet quick service dining at Downtown Terrace to award winning cocktails from Oak & Ivy, there’s something for everyone. Kids will love the interactive playground featuring The Treehouse, and adults can relax while enjoying free concerts, movies, and more on the main stage.
