One of the great places to visit in Red Rock is
the Bonnie Springs Ranch, Old Nevada. 
This is a western themed park where old west style gunfights and
hangings are staged for visitors. Among its other attractions are a motel, an opera
house, a museum, a cemetery, an old western mini-train and horseback
riding.
You can even have a western style here. The chapel actually looks like something from the old west. Old Nevada is open
daily from 10:30 to 6:00.For more information call 702.875.4191.
The
horseback riding is a really cool experience. When we were there last is was something like $20.00 an
hour (its probably more now so call first). Whatever it is, it's a great
ride and worth. The horses are magnificently
trained and are really gentle.

 The staff is
great and familiar with the terrain and the
animals. The 1 hour ride is relatively short but long enough to enjoy. Long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended. If the
kids are
too small they will not be allowed to ride.
The horse path takes you along a wash, near the Wilson Cliffs and along
several other paths. This horse ride is one of the best attractions in Southern
Nevada. You do not need to know how to ride or have any experience with
horses
They have a restaurant located in what looks like an actual ranch house.
The menu includes the standard stuff. What really
kicks it off at this place is the atmosphere. At the bar they have all the
one dollar bills hanging there which their customers have put up over
time.
