I can't confirm that this one is run by volunteers, but it definitely has the small-town feel. We were greeted by a woman who was excited to give us the spiel about how the town was settled (Mormon pioneers that traveled south from Salt Lake City looking to plant cotton). She also proudly showed us the story board that she was creating herself. It changes out each quarter and tells the whole story of the town, the commerce and the culture. She also said that she's working to get it online so it can be enjoyed by people all over. The museum itself is small but stuffed with old history and artifacts of the past. It was really dark inside-I'm not sure if they didn't turn on the lights or if it's just that way, but it felt kind of eerie.

The owner allowed us to bring food and drinks since we were having a private party. He gave us great tips on different techniques, and made us feel welcome and appreciated. It was only a few days before our works were fired and ready for pick up. We were all proud of ourselves and agreed that we should do it again. I highly recommend the Painted Hippo for people of all ages!

The Clark County Fair and Rodeo is a fantastic county fair out in the middle of nowhere…read more You drive from Vegas like you are going towards Salt Lake City which means leaving Nevada for Arizona by way of Mesquite. Just when you are out in the desert, before Mesquite, you turn off toward Logandale and in just a few miles you find parking for the county fair. Once you enter the gates to the fair you feel transported to someplace else. It is green and has shade trees everywhere. Locals are pulling out their camping chairs and claiming their spots underneath a canopy of old trees. It seems like a giant family picnic or reunion. Off to the left is a building hosting artwork, photography, and a ton of crafts. There is a little shop inside with inexpensively priced snacks and drinks. There was a face painter on the way out of that building as you work your way to the large entertainment building with a terrific stage and seating area. We saw illusionists, a hypnotist, bands, and a drumming duo - show after show after show. Then back outside we saw strolling jugglers, a baseball comedy fire show, a one-man band, and many vendors. Beyond the myriads of vendors was a building full of more vendors including one selling amazing fudge. Back up towards the office we saw another stage with a lot of dancers. Then there were some barns and other buildings working our way back around the fairgrounds. Beyond that was the carnival full of great rides and games and vendors from Brown's Amusements. We spent the entire day there and had so much fun. When we told my dad about it, he insisted on going next year. So, we have plans to visit him in Vegas and take him to the 2026 Clark County Fair and Rodeo.

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.

The people inside are friendly and can answer any questions you have. They have a bunch of info posted on boards outside about hiking in the area, current laws, things happening around town and some of the wildlife you might encounter. I was pissed off about their "pet area" because they have a large beautiful grassy area in front of the visitors center, but pets are not allowed on the grass and must resort to behind the building where it's nothing but rocks. I saw tons of broken glass and then there were the piles of other pets shit all over the rocks and I didn't feel it was the best or safest spot for my dog to be. I feel that because the pet area is designated behind the building that it's maybe not cared for or noticed by the people inside the visitors center much. It's sad because it's the pet owners who should be cleaning up after their pets and clearly they are lazy and not doing it, but the visitors center allows dogs in that area, so they should help keep it at least safe with no broken glass or not have it at all given there is a nearby park within walking distance people could go to that is well maintained.

After attending the Super Run Classic Car Show in downtown Henderson last weekend, I am a fan of…read morelocal events.The Super Run Classic Car Show transformed Water Street into a classic car museum filled with people. The cars included a 1923 Ford coexisting with a Chevy El Camino, a Plymouth Road Runner, 1978 Trans Am, and every classic car imaginable. Just like a good museum, the cars included information about their year and make. A good number of the cars had the hoods popped open to display the engines. The vehicle owners were there to share information. There was even a stand displaying hundreds of Match Box and Hot Wheels cars for sale. The Super Run Classic Car Show featured a few food concessions plus a beer garden. They sold corn dogs, smoothies, hot dogs, burgers, sausages, and fries. Personally I have mixed feelings about the food concessions in downtown events. My understanding is that the events are entertainment that helps stimulate the downtown economy. On Water Street so much of the downtown economy is restaurants and bars. I'd do my part by supporting the Cafe in the El Dorado, the Coffee House, and the Gold Mine Tavern because they plan to be in the community for the long run. Besides, lately I'm not too crazy over the taste of carnival food. In my reporting of the Super Clasic Car Show, what made Super Run Classic Car Show shine was that it made Water Street shine. I never saw Water Street so happening on a weekend afternoon. For a day Water Street looked like US 66 when GTOs ruled the road. A Water Street that is usually empty on a Sunday morning was animated with people. These people were supporting local businesses. From my observation, business was up on Water Street. There was even a 15 minute wait to eat in the Cafe. It also seemed that the casinos and bars were busier. When I look back on the Super Run Car Show, I think of how it made Water Street shine on a weekend afternoon When I look back on this event, I look forward to more local events.
