Henderson makes an ideal southern Nevada base for visitors who would like to tour some of Nevada’s greatest attractions, including the glittering Las Vegas Strip, the imposing Hoover Dam, and lovely Lake Mead. You can visit historic buildings and learn about the evolution of the area at the Clark County Heritage Museum and take the children to see the Discovery Children’s Museum and the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate all the opportunities for camping, picnicking, hiking, and rock climbing at the Valley of Fire State Park. The Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are prime attractions – there are two dam tours to choose from, and paddle and rafting tours are also available. The endless attractions of Las Vegas are less than 50 miles from Henderson.
