Two Excursions Beyond the Neon
-
Morning
Begin with an early morning stroll around the UNLV campus, stopping at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History.
Drive through the Green Valley area to Foxridge Park where if children are in your party, the play equipment will be the main attraction. Then it’s on to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory for the free tour and walk around the cactus garden.
On the way back to your hotel, lunch at one of the terrace tables around the Interactive Fountains at Green Valley Center. You’ll have the afternoon free, but if it’s Thursday, don’t miss the Henderson Farmers Market. Or, if traffic is not too heavy, you can take a second excursion.
Afternoon
Begin at the Nevada State Museum . Motor-racing fans should then make their next stop the Las Vegas Speedway.
Finish up at Chinatown Plaza , where the herbalist-health food shop is a repository for remedies such as dried sea horses (good for the kidneys), herbs, and shark fins.
After an hour or two shopping, head up to the second floor of the Plaza, where you have a choice of different Asian restaurants for dining. Among them are Plum Tree Inn, Pho Vietnam Restaurant, Kapit Bahay Filipino Fast Food, and Dragon Sushi.
