Unique Las Vegas Attractions

I suspect visitors to Las Vegas spend most of their time and money on The Strip & Downtown Fremont Street which everyone should do at least once. However, in the six months I have been in the area, I have discovered some other attractions within an hour's drive that do not get as much publicity but are worth seeing...

• In the downtown area, I would recommend Container Park with its giant, fire spewing praying mantis and the Neon Museum.
• East of The Strip on Tropicana Avenue is the Pinball Hall of Fame.
• Just west of the city is Red Rock Canyon.
• Northeast of the city is Valley of Fire State Park.
• Southwest of the city is Seven Magic Mountains and the Pioneer Saloon.
• Southeast of the city is Nelson Ghost Town.
