Famous Landmarks
Lake Las Vegas
36.0395°N, 114.9817°W
Lake Las Vegas, a 320-acre man-made lake created in 1991 at the heart of the desert, is surrounded by a Tuscan- and Mediterranean-inspired village with ochre pavilions, a stone bridge and waterfront promenades. A beloved spot for weddings and romantic getaways, it offers striking contrast with the surrounding aridity.

Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, spread across 48,000 acres south of Henderson, protects volcanic cliffs and more than 1,700 petroglyphs in Petroglyph Canyon — one of southern Nevada's largest collections. Its trails wind through creosote bush and cacti, offering wild immersion just minutes from the city.
Cowabunga Bay
36.0395°N, 114.9817°W
Cowabunga Bay, a 23-acre water park themed on 1960s California, welcomes families and slide enthusiasts with its giant slides, 800-foot lazy river and wave pool. Opened in 2013, it has become a classic of scorching southern Nevada summers, where temperatures can reach 115 °F.

The sky of Henderson
At 36.0° north latitude at the gates of the Mojave Desert, Henderson enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and remarkably clear nights away from densely lit neighborhoods. Twenty minutes southwest, Sloan Canyon NCA and the outskirts of Goodsprings reveal Bortle 3-4 skies, enough to observe the summer Milky Way. Saturn and Jupiter climb high above the mountains in July and August.
