15 Best Things To Do in Henderson, Nevada

Picture of Henderson, Nevada

About Henderson, Nevada


Although it has the same charm as the rest of the Vegas strip, Henderson is quite different from the gambling capital of the world. With its laid-back atmosphere and quaint neighborhoods, the city is much quieter than nearby areas.

What it lacks in vibrance is compensated for by the vast number of natural aspects, such as the Sloan Canyon and the River Mountains, both of which are surrounded by residential areas. While not as abundant as in Vegas, there are still many casinos in Henderson, coupled with other forms of entertainment, including whiskey houses, natural parks, and local breweries.

As for the city’s history, most of it is kept in the 30 acres of land that is the Clark County Heritage Museum.
