This also has a store and restaurants CONS: It costs $25 to enter as of 7/2026 and the lady at the toll gate is bitter.

It also shows you the damage of what the drought has caused

Then drove to the marina since I haven't visited in many years. I'm a Nevada resident since 1990 and enjoyed many aspects of the lake. Unfortunately the water level is declining and I pray for better days. The Marina was quiet on a Friday and took a walk on the bridge to the boat docks. There was a sign at the entrance of the cafe and the Friday special after 5pm was a "fish fry" for $5.95 hmmm? Interesting, so I gave it a try. Surprisingly delicious and even the little cup of coleslaw was really good. Prompt and friendly service in a cozy little cafe. Overall a good spontaneous visit to a familiar venue and I will be back more often.

If you love hiking, natural beauty, or want to get some great outdoor exercise while experiencing…read morethe opposite of what Vegas offers a tourist, I can 100% guarantee you'll love Love Hikes too. I sure do. I've done three Love Hikes hikes over the last three years, Valley of Fire Intense twice and Red Rock Moderate once. I could see planning my next Las Vegas visit around doing two or three of their hikes. What makes Love Hikes so great? * Great guides who know all the trails like the backs of their hands, are listening to you and will find a route that works for you. When I asked for the intensity to be tuned up on the Intense hike - that's what I got. A thrilling and challenging experience with a guide who showed me how to do what I would have thought of as beyond me. And when I wanted a moderate scrambling experience, I got exactly that. * Owners, Roberta and Jacob, Las Vegas Natives, who deeply care that their guests have a great experience and will do anything they reasonably can to provide one. * The assurance that while the environment may be unfamiliar and challenging (middle of the desert) you'll be with well trained people who exactly what they are doing and who will make sure you have a great, and safe, experience. * Incredibly reasonable pricing for the beauty, thrills, challenge (if you choose a moderate or above hike), and incredible convenience. * Pro tip: If you love taking video (guilty!!) and are on a moderate or above hike, make sure you have a hat or body mount since the parts you'll want to video most will require using two hands. Most recommended!

We went on the Ice Box trail, and we were doing well, reached to the top, hung out with other hikers, and descended down. That's when trouble started... we lost our way and went totally off trail for about 1-1.5 hour and half. I had no cell service, and the trail kept getting more remote. After some time, I decided to backtrack and started yelling for help. Thankfully!!! Nick heard me and led me out of where I am. I am so so grateful to have walked by him on my descent and ran into him again when I got lost. He let me join his group to walk back safely and I felt so much relief and gratitude. Next time I hike, I definitely will reach out to Nick instead of going by myself and 1,000 % recommend him.

A special thank you to Tracy, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful.

The historic buildings, vintage vehicles, and unique scenery make this a fantastic place for photography and exploring Nevada's history. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to visiting again

We rented a pontoon this past weekend for $570 from 8am-5:30pm gas included. They provide life jackets that you try on before getting into your boat so you have the correct size. We were limited on where we could go that day because of the higher winds. We went out about 45mins from the dock. The pontoons aren't very fast boats so plan accordingly when having to bring the boat back. My friend is always the "Captain" & I know in the past he has had to watch a video on boating rules but he mentioned something about having to take a 6hr on line course to drive the boat?? Not 100% sure on that so double check prior to renting. I have Verizon cell phone service & had no issues with getting service here or out on the lake. They have "real" bathrooms on the dock & their little store has all sorts of stuff. They are way over priced but that can be expected. Some items the store carries are: ice ($3.50/bag), snacks, loaves of bread, sunscreen, drinks, alcohol, soft coolers, t-shirts, sun shirts, prepackage snack foods in the fridge, some toiletries. I actually needed some visine & got a wicked small bottle for $5.00, I bought some Cheetos for like $7.50, double oatmeal cake for like $3.00 but I did get a nice fun shirt, long sleeve with hood for like $23.00 & it says Lake Mead on it. There are a lot of fish hanging around the docks but you can't feed them & I ran into a couple of friendly ducks. This marina is about 45min drive from GVR area. I can't wait to head back & have another boating day! TIP: bring a trash bag to collect all your trash in. No glass bottles allowed. Have fun!

Are you unsure where you need to be? Are you in a fog?…read moreIt's time to get away and find yourself. A hidden treasure and secret, come and see Lake Las Vegas. I'm a local here, This is my favorite place to come and detox. The view from your window is nature all around you. All this because we live in the desert, this is our "oasis." We don't have water here. We don't have nature in its truest form . The created bliss of Lake Las Vegas is something to see and experience. You need to stay here to truly appreciate and love what is happening here . You have your choice of a few places to stay for the evening. There is a Westin Resort and Hilton Hotel. I prefer the Westin mainly for the views and the quality of the resort style stay. You might think that a room at the Westin would be "resort," pricing . Not so ! They need to fill rooms. Our room, a lake view king suite was around $100, plus the resort fee. The Hilton is priced a bit lower. You decide what your best options are . Just know that you have options! It's all in what you are seeking to do. Come and play then stay a while and see what happens. Make sure and let yourself get back to normal and enjoy some rest. Life is busy sometimes and this is a great way to down time and recharge.

You can easily drive into the parking lot like you are heading to the visitor center, but drive past it down to the restroom parking lot close to the trail and it's perfectly marked for easy no brainer adventure. About half way or an hour in there is another restroom with a covered picnic table for a break. Then you can continue on down to the Boulder Dam. There are amazing views there as well as awesome retro restrooms , memorials, and water. There used to be a cafe. I forgot to look if they are still open. Before the dam is a parking structure. You can take the stairs or an elevator. We usually start our hikes about 8 am. The restrooms were still clean and stocked. I bring hand sanitizer. Be sure to bring water and a snack just in case. Dogs are welcome but please pick up after them and keep them on a leash. The later it gets the more busy it gets. I like to go here at least once a year. It's just so nice to get out into nature and experience Nevada. Parking is free. You can check out the visitor center while you are there. They have cool stuff. I recommend this trail. Check it out!

That being said, these are the most powerful machines we have ever encountered. Our guide was very thorough when explaining the do's and don'ts of riding through the trails and how to drive the UTV's. The pricing was very comprehensive for the amount of time we spent out in the desert. Quick Tip: If you're riding in the warmer months of the year do yourself a favor and ride early morning or in the evening. This may seem like an obvious tip, but you'd be surprised. Back to the review.. Even though the machines are very powerful, my wife and I felt safe the whole time and the fact that a COMM setup is available made the experience so much better.

When I visited, it wasn't too busy for some reason, so I was able to walk around the lake shore without bumping into many people. The drive around the lake was especially enjoyable without the traffic. There are so many scenic areas right off the road, and the sky was impossibly blue and vast as it reflected off the lake. It feels so unique. It was very hot though, so I didn't hike the Owl Canyon Trail like I originally planned. I'll definitely be back though!
