Springs Preserve
The original spring source of Las Vegas, now a cultural park combining a desert botanical garden, museums, and trails.
“Las Vegas” means “the meadows” in Spanish, a name that comes from the springs here. The park covers about 73 hectares and includes the Mojave Desert Botanical Garden, a museum on the history of the city and its water supply, a butterfly house, a wildlife area, and the Nevada State Museum. Tickets cost about $20, with discounts for children, making it a good choice for families. It is about a 15-minute drive from the Strip.
