Restaurants & cafés
Todd's Unique Dining
A contemporary American room that has defined Henderson fine dining for decades, with an inventive seasonal menu and a deep wine list in an unassuming strip-mall spot. The grown-up dinner away from the Strip.
Hank's Fine Steaks and Martinis
A classic steakhouse at Green Valley Ranch with prime cuts, oysters, and a piano bar known for its martinis. The dress-up dinner for a special night without driving to the Strip.
Trails & outdoors
Clark County Wetlands Park
A 2,900-acre preserve along the Las Vegas Wash with paved and dirt loops, a modern nature center, and abundant desert wildlife. The valley's flagship nature walk and a genuine green corridor in the desert.
River Mountains Loop Trail
A paved, roughly 34-mile loop circling the River Mountains, linking Henderson, the wetlands, and Lake Mead with long car-free stretches. A road-cyclist's favorite that hikers and walkers use in shorter pieces.
Things to do
Lion Habitat Ranch
A nonprofit sanctuary home to dozens of lions and a famous painting giraffe, offering tours and feeding demonstrations. A hands-on animal experience and one of Henderson's most distinctive family stops.
Dig This Las Vegas
A heavy-equipment playground where you operate real bulldozers and excavators through dirt courses under instructor guidance. A genuinely unusual, only-here experience for older kids and adults alike.
Landmarks & sights
Clark County Museum
An open-air heritage street of relocated historic Henderson and Las Vegas houses, a ghost-town railroad depot, and exhibits on Southern Nevada's mining-and-railroad past. A walkable, low-key local-history stop far from the Strip.
Lake Las Vegas
A man-made lake ringed by a Mediterranean-style village, with waterfront paths, paddle rentals, and cafes well removed from the casino corridor. A surprisingly calm half-day on the water in the desert.
