Las Vegas Sports and Recreation
While famed for its hotels, casinos and nightlife, Las Vegas sports are a also big part of the city. Lake Mead is only about 30 miles from the city even though it feels like a world away. There you can bike, boat or hike to your heart's content.
If you are more of the action watching type UNLV is in the heart of the city and has NCAA level play for most sports, but the big draws are football and basketball. If you are a NASCAR fan, you can root for your favorite car at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Of course being that you are in Las Vegas you can participate in sports betting as well. So if you are a sports fan, Las Vegas is the place to go!
