With only 2 months until our trip to Las Vegas, I’m starting to take a look at some activities that Jim and I can do during our stay there, other than gamble. We’ve discussed renting a car and driving to the Grand Canyon, and Jim wants to take me to The Ghost Bar and the “old strip”. After a while though, I know I’ll be over bars and slots and the nightlife. After about 3 days, I’ll need some downtime. On of the activities I enjoy doing on vacation is horseback riding. We’ve been on trails in New Mexico, Tennessee, and most recently, North Carolina. Most of those have been short 1 or 2 hour trail rides, but this site I found with information on horseback riding in Las Vegas has 8 hour tours that include a meal, and even an overnight tour that allows you to sleep under the stars. I absolutely love the idea of riding a horse out in the country for a few hours, and seeing a side of Vegas that doesn’t have a slot machine or showgirl as far as the eye can see.

The Jesse James Sunset BBQ dinner ride in particular sounds like it’s for me - a long sunset ride followed by a steak dinner. A chance to see the Nevada desert, cowboys, and maybe even some varmits! This isn’t just a great activity for couples, but for families, business groups - even the locals can enjoy this.
