There is an area with a couple of cannons and flags for each branch of the military honoring Veterans of Mesquite and the Virgin Valley who served their country. The park also offers a covered pavilion, BBQ grills, bathrooms and a decent sized playground with a shade structure over it. They have dog trash bag/can stations, so remember to clean up after your pet. I loved the big beautiful trees that provided excellent shade over the green grass throughout the park. The park isn't huge yet doesn't feel cramped and is instead fun and relaxing with a fair amount of park amenities.

In November 2011 we were preparing to move to Mesquite NV for 3 or 4 months in January. I called…read morethe chamber to ask if the town had any paved bike paths and if so, how many miles were there. I also wanted to know about dog parks as I have two small dogs. The woman who answered the phone seemed unsure of what a "bike path" was. Ok, so I said walking path or trail? She said she knew there were some area's that were paved but didn't know how many or how far. She did know there were dog parks. I asked if she had anything printed she could mail to me, maps etc. She said they charge $5 to mail their brochure. What?? A stamp is .44 I would have paid $2 -$3 but that's it. A chamber of commerce is supposed to be selling their great city. Encouraging travelers and temporary residents to move here permanently. She not only did not excite me about her city she totally turned me off. I spent a month straining my eyes searching the zoomed version of a google map trying to see if there was a trail system. I determined there was a trail system mostly because many of the parks were named "something trailside park" that was a clue. Now we are here, the city has a great map showing all the parks and trails and it's extensive. There are many many miles of paved trails that I can walk, run or ride my bike and pull the trailer with my little yorkies. There are 8 or 9 parks in a town that might be a 5 mile square (if that) and they are clean, have bathrooms and have paved walking trails in each park. I don't have children but the kids play area is very nice. I moved here feeling very apprehensive about what the environment was going to be like. The woman at the chamber who answered the phone that day could have easily sold me on this little city and it's benefits so that I would be excited to be here for 4 months. Once I arrived here and went into the chamber office a man was behind the desk on the phone and seemed overwhelmed with what he was doing. He finally acknowledged me by glancing in my direction, I asked for a trail map, he pointed to the brochure rack and went back to his phone call. He didn't even speak to me. What is the matter with people? I realize that chambers are frequently staffed by unpaid volunteers with little or no training.

Best day ever at the Camel Safari! Guided by Adam and Allie-two of the most knowledgeable,…read morefriendly, and genuinely caring people you'll ever meet . This experience was unforgettable from start to finish in their 165 acre property. We kicked off the day with a short ride on Jafar, a stunning, gentle giant weighing nearly 3,000 pounds. ( love at first sight) After taking some amazing photos with him, he happily stayed nearby and spent the rest of the day with us. From there, we met several other camels and hopped on the tram, where more adventures were to be had . Along the way, we encountered so many incredible animals, more camels, a zedonk, llamas, alpacas, and miniature horses. One of the highlights was feeding Thorn, their adorable pet porcupine,grapes she was just the sweetest little girl. We also got to see New Guinea singing dogs (so cute!) and Ambien, their 20-year-old sloth, who was just as amazing to see in person as you'd imagine. Feeding the alpacas and llamas carrots was such a fun, hands-on experience. As if that wasn't enough, four friendly Ridgeback dogs casually joined us on the tram, roaming freely and adding even more charm to the day. Every animal we encountered was gentle, well cared for and clearly loved . I truly can't say enough wonderful things about this experience it was pure joy from beginning to end. If you've never met a camel, Ilama, or alpaca, you're missing out. These gentle creatures will absolutely fill your heart. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon. I didn't want the day to end . This is one adventure you don't want to miss it's truly an overload of joy! "LIVE LIFE WITH LOVE & LAUGHTER" ~PEACE JODY~

First, you NEED to make a reservation before going…read more I never knew we had a ranch with 30 Camels, Alpacas, a Llama, New Guinea Singing Dogs, a Two Toed Sloth, an African Crested Porcupine, a Donkey and a few other animals about an hour outside of Las Vegas. Guy the owner, an amazing bank of knowledge, he knows so much about each animal and more. He is a little rough around the edges and some may think him rude; you try to manage a 176 acre ranch with well over 60 animals who have to be fed daily, not so easy... The Camels have a diet of lettuce, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples; the sloth has a special diet which includes egg whites, the ranch dogs get the yolk as a daily treat and they know when that's coming. So in addition to taking care of all the animals, the ranch which is 176 acres, there are also tours to manage. So show him a little appreciation for what he does every day, seven days a week, etc... You can do camel rides, an ATV experience, a zoo tour on a tram, it's not easy and I feel for him so if you go out there, understand his personality has to be rough to deal with all this. Also understand, each animal has its own personality and feelings. Yesterday, Norm a camel used for rides was having a bad day. He was not in the mood for riders. I first tried to ride Norm, he was calm getting his saddle on but once I got on him, he was nope. When Allie got me off of Norm, Norm had an attitude with both Allie and Guy, Norm had to be put in a kennel which Norm was not happy about but needed a time out. So remember, dealing with 30 camels, mini horses, a Llama, Alpacas, a sloth, etc; they are dealing with a lot of different personalities and feelings in addition to people coming to visit. Safety is taken as a HIGH priority. These animals can inflict pain & even death, so I have a LOT of respect for Guy & Allie. They not only have to be concerned with adults but children as well. We arrived at 8:45 which is when the gate is opened, we met Allie and Guy along with another couple. We rode first and as I said Norm was not happy so I got off and they took my friend around the track. Upon coming back with my friend, a whole group showed up for the zoo tour so we were asked if we minded doing the zoo tour and then we will get back to the camel ride. No biggie... The zoo tour was amazing. We got on the tram and were taken to see every animal on the property stopping in each area, learning all about the animals in that area with the opportunity to ask questions, got to go in the kennel to feed the Llama and Alpacas, cool animals, petted the zebra, fed and petted the porcupine, got up close and personal with the sloth and just had an amazing experience. The knowledge gained yesterday was so cool. Once the zoo tour was over I got to ride Lodi. The camel ride was really cool, long and a really neat experience I would do again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go out and visit this Camel Safari. They need the support as they have a lot of mouths to feed daily and you will have an amazing experience in the Nevada desert.

What once was a quiet little retirement town in the desert has slowly become the mini Las Vegas…read more Many Utahns who want to gamble or buy legal marijuana come here since it's closer than making the longer drive to Vegas. And depending on what you want, it's a decent substitute. There's a handful of casinos and hotels-not on par with the luxury ones in Sin City, but respectable, for the most part. If you're into golfing, you can do that just about year-round here, since it stays warm through the winter. You may want to avoid the hottest months of the year-golfing in August can be brutal. Mesquite has a small town feel to it-talk to the locals and you'll find yourself quickly amongst the gossip of who's who and who's doing what. I get the feeling that those who have lived here a long time would prefer that things stop growing-just like most small town lifers. But by the looks of things, I don't see it slowing down any time soon.

Mesquite exists because of groundwater supply and its location off the I-15 freeway. It's major…read moreattractions are golf, gambling, marijuana, and ATVs. The main development is a Del Webb Sun City 55+ community. Most visitors think the major downside is the unbearable summer heat, but residents know the constant strong winds are more of a pain. Because there are few good paying jobs in Mesquite, most of the new non retired residents move to Mesquite because homes are cheaper and commute daily to jobs in St. George and Las Vegas. Most of the amenities are located near the freeway and target tourist needs e.g., gas stations, fast food, and RV accommodations. The high school ranking is poor which inhibits dynamic professional organizations from locating here. I moved to Sun City three years ago KNOWING it had major short comings but chose it for its location and low cost homes and living. I have many individual interests and am very active, and consequently, do not need nice amenities to be happy. However, many of my neighbors constantly complain about the lack of amenities and about 20% have moved since I have lived here. Unless you are a golfer or have several individual interests that keep you busy and happy, I would not recommend retiring here. If you are working and have a family, I would recommend trying to find a way to afford to live in a more cosmopolitan community with better schools.

There's always something going on at Casablanca. Whether it's adding or taking out slots, or the…read moresame for dining venues. Activity seems to be a constant. This time it was doing away with the original sportsbook, and relocating it against a nondescript wall deeper in the casino. Not a good look for us bettors. I was told that Station casinos has taken over this aspect of of our gambling vice. In so doing, I'm thinking Casablanca has given it the Ol' heave ho. The sportsbook has been transformed into a comicbook. Good ridden to the bank of TV's. Out you go ample seating. So long talley board giving the spreads. Usher in the new and unimproved thimble experience. A few roundtop tables, and I wonder what the line on the game is? In the place of the old sportsbook location, installed are yet more uninspiring slots. Yes slots are the bread and butter of a casino. But bread gets stale and butter will turn rancid before long. Before you know it, the Casablanca will lean toward its one time neighbor The Oasis. That remnant is a blight on the landscape of Mesquite. However that infection could spread west if ownership doesn't quit tinkering with what made this casino resort a success. The renovated rooms are nice, and getting rid of the buffet was probably the right decision. What's lacking is the once old school ambiance. Adding new this and new that may not have the desired effect. What may happen is that we'll decide to stay home and gamble on our phones. Or better yet, gamble on our phones while in a national park or sitting on a beach in Hawaii. With diminishing returns hovering, it may not be prudent to gamble on repeat business. Quick Tip: If you want a quiet place to hang, visit the business center next to the elevators. In all the years that I've been visiting, I've yet to see anyone (other than myself) in there. You could literally have a party and not have to worry about being disturbed. It's also five times bigger that the new sportsbook!

Great speaking voice and had zero problems answering several random questions asked in natural language. Really only knew it was an AI when it stuttered on reading back my credit card number. Check in desk staff was super friendly and helpful. We have 2 small dogs so they put us in pet friendly room that was clean with vinyl flooring so any accidents would be easy to clean up. (Not that this is an issue with our dogs but I always question hotels that have carpet in a pet friendly room - like what were you thinking?) Bed was comfy. Water pressure was fine. There was a big dirt lot right next to the rooms where dogs could potty. If I was forced to find a single gripe about this place it would be about the other guests - not the hotel. Rude dudes with big dogs who think leash rules don't apply to them. (Parade your over-compensation around on a leash next time, eh buddy?) I plan on making this place a regular stop in the future. Highly recommend.

I booked a limo service with Peter to pick me up at the airport, provide transportation to and from…read morethe football game the next day, and then take me to the airport the following Tuesday morning. I paid 100% in advance. I was picked up by the airport nearly one hour late. When the driver, Taylor, got out of the car a huge cloud of marijuana smoke came out with him. It wasn't a limo or town car but an older model, dirty Mercedes - perhaps 15 years old, very small with a tiny backseat. There barely any room for my carryon bag in his trunk - and I had to cram into the back seat because he had a dog in the front seat with him. Taylor was pretty spaced out and had trouble finding my hotel, the Vdarra. He was also unfamiliar with other Vegas landmarks - like the Aria, the Bellagio, Park MGM. I had to pull out my phone to help him navigate to my hotel. He apologized for being late and not having a town car or limo - but he said the limo had been locked up or repo'd and Peter was working to get it out. I was really worried that he lacked the competence to pick me up for the game - so after confirming he was the driver for the next day, I showed him that he should pick me up at the exact same spot he dropped me off at - and I explained it was critical that he wasn't late. I also reminded him a friend would be joining me, so we would need a bigger car or at least the front seat free of his dog. Taylor no-showed the next day of course. We called, texted, yelp-messaged and availed ourselves of every contact number we had. No one answered. No one came. After about 75 minutes of this we took a taxi. About 3 hours later, Taylor texted and said he was sorry - he didn't realize his phone was on vibrate and missed all of our texts and phone calls. He claimed he was there the whole time, however (he absolutely wasn't). Peter also yelp-messaged about the same time saying "Let me try!" and nothing more. He refused my requests to call me. After the game, surprise-surprise, they no-showed again. We waited about an hour and a half in the designated meeting spot with no response to phone calls or texts. Eventually, found a free driver to take us back to the hotel for $100. And again, with no surprise, they no-showed the pre-booked trip to the airport. Still no call or contact from Peter and team. While their rate was very competitive, this company is a clown act. If you must book them, absolutely do not pay in advance and I would never, ever, trust them with anything important.
