The Clark County Museum is more than a museum, instead it is an interactive walk through Southwest Nevada’s past. The museum, in fact, spans over 30 acres to include a main exhibit hall as well as preserved, historic homes along Heritage Street. In the main hall, visitors can peruse a time line running from the Ice Age, ancient Pueblo, early mining camps, and Las Vegas’s beginnings as an entertainment hotspot. The Heritage Gallery features revolving exhibits of newly uncovered historical knowledge and artifacts. The highlight, though, is taking a stroll down Heritage Street and peak into homes and businesses from various important eras. Visitors can admire several family homes, a print shop opened in 1890, a quaint wedding chapel, and a 1918 Union Pacific steam engine. The museum is open every day except major holidays and is only $2 for admission.

There are plenty of places to play golf in Las Vegas. One standout local golf club is Angel Park. Featuring two eighteen-hole courses designed by the great Arnold Palmer, the facility has received plenty of raves from the local media, who praise its even level of difficulty and very reasonable greens fees. The two courses are somewhat similar – both provide amazing views of Red Rock Canyon and the valley below. The Palms Course is a par 70 with some tricky shots that is primarily flat. The Mountain Course is a par 71 with some more dramatic changes in elevation. One special feature unique to the park is the Cloud Nine short course, which is an agglomeration of holes modeled after some of the world’s great courses, all lit for night play.
