Visitors to Mesquite Nevada often navigate the Neon to Nature road trip’s Fire & Water Loop, which offers the chance to explore prehistoric archeology at Lost City Museum, spy bighorn sheep, roll a seven on the craps table at a Mesquite casino, enjoy fine dining, and then go completely off the grid at Gold Butte National Monument-all within the same day’s drive of a comfy Mesquite base camp.
Mesquite also serves as a gateway to incredible outdoor adventures, from the unrivaled sandstone formations and petrified wood at Valley of Fire State Park to the vastness of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Golf vacations to the picturesque Virgin River Valley may rank among Mesquite Nevada’s top attractions, but countless others come to Mesquite to enjoy its upscale casino resorts and spas that are more wallet-friendly than comparable experiences in larger cities.
However, Mesquite Nevada, about 80 miles north of Las Vegas, offers much more than world-class championship golf experiences. There aren’t too many cities in Nevada that can boast multiple championship golf courses designed by legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, or famed golf course architect Gary Panks.
