It is where the outdoors beckons with adventure under endless sunlit skies. Here, recreation is organic to the majestic southern Nevada landscape. Hikers and bikers can trek more than 180 miles of spectacular outdoor trails, golfers enjoy their pick of championship courses, and recreational options abound— scenic day trips to Zion National Park, Red Rock Canyon State Park, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area (home to the iconic Hoover Dam) are all possible.
While some may opt for familiar chain restaurants, many visitors to Henderson embrace the local flavor found in its restaurants, diners, and cafes. Henderson’s award-winning culinary scene rivals that of nearby Las Vegas in diversity, quality, and affordability.

Begin your recreational repast with a round of golf on one of nine courses, including the Jack Nicklaus-designed gem at Lake Las Vegas. An alluring backdrop for golf, the lake’s brilliant blue waters also offer opportunities to plunge into kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, Flyboarding, and even cruising on a yacht. Back on land, hiking and biking trails stretch out across the city, threading through suburban streetscapes and dramatic mountain and desert vistas. Attendees can take their pick from easy, intermediate, challenging, and even equestrian trails.
A tasting tour of the Ethel M Chocolates factory is another sweet treat, and in the aptly named Artisan Booze District, where spirits are both an art and a craft, attendees can sip and savor their way through a brilliant lineup of drinks. These include original brews in pubs like CraftHaus Brewery, as well as handcrafted, small-batch wines at Vegas Valley Winery, where tours and a tasting room are special draws.
