Nearby Towns
All accommodations are in Mesquite, but lots fun is found outside of town as well.
MESQUITE is a quiet little town in which you should never be bored. If you like being outside, this is the place for you. We also have 3 major casinos that are more like the original Vegas. Each have great choices in dining - inexpensive cafes to fine dining. Mesquite is a golfer's paradise with many courses within 5 miles of one another. These courses cut through the desert hills and provide breathtaking views. The city of Mesquite has spared no expense in provide many quality parks, splash pads, and a walking/biking trail that runs along the Virgin river and through town. Morning walks are VERY NICE. We are close to Vegas (90 min), St. George (45 min), Zion National Park (90 min), Sand Hollow (50 min), Snow Canyon (50min). If you love theatre, the Tuacahn Amphitheater, is not only quality theatre, the drive and the view from the amphitheater are some of the most awesome found in the US.

St. George has some of the most beautiful scenery, in our opinion, in the US. The red rock terrain offset by the lush greenery is breathtaking. Stop in St. George on your way to Zion State Park or make it your destination. You will find good shopping (including Costco, Best Buy, and other national chains) and spectacular hiking and parks right in town. Snow Canyon, Tuachan outdoor amphitheater, Sand Hollow reservoir are just a few outstanding place to visit near St. George.

Zion is one of the most beautiful and powerful places in the United States, in this co-hosts opinion. :}. A shuttle leaving from the Visitor's Center can take you to each of the stops inside the park. A drive in your car on the driving route is another great possibility to sightsee in the park without exerting too much energy. Eat at Oscar's in Springdale after you leave the park. You won't be dissappointed.

This is a wonderful place to view incredible red rock formations. Don't be intimidated by the height and what looks to be strenuous hiking. There are easy paths to most of the rock tops. You can also choose to sit under the covered picnic area and watch friends and family scurry through the unique formations.
