| - My family and I have been to Vegas multiple times and were looking for something non strip related to entertain our whole party of mostly older adults. I came across this brochure, we had a car and it was reasonably priced so it seemed like something worthy of checking out. Its also located in the Red Rock Canyon which is a place I had been wanting to check out forever. Our brochure even had a coupon for 2$ off the admission price of 10$. The brochure didn't give as much info as we needed, but we were able to check the website and learn about the current hours and dark days (no shows) on the website. Make sure you check the show times as this is a huge part of the fun of going here, and it would be a shame to come and miss out on this.
The ride out here was beautiful, being from Washington State we do not have similar mountains or vegetation. I really wanted to stop to get my picture with a cactus on the driveway to the ranch, but no one thought I was serious. The train outside also allowed for some photo opportunities as well, but beware it only runs on the weekends. We enjoyed being greeted by some town folk immediately after entering Old Town. My family enjoys interactive events and loved that you could engage with the actors in both the town and the shows. The shows themselves were surprisingly entertaining, but you may want to bring some sunscreen and water for the hanging as it is in the direct sun.
Afterwards the wax museum opens and you can look at some famous figures from how the Old West came to be. We didn't understand that this was guided and missed hearing most of what was being said. It would definitely be worth a 2nd look as the guide went through very fast and we didn't have much time for pictures or reading the signage. The old buildings are cool to look at, but a little run down as can be expected in any ghost town. The Old West Museum was also cool to look at. I hope to check out the ghost adventures episode about the paranormal activity here, but was able to ask the actors about it while there. The actors are very helpful and had lots of information about both Bonnie Springs and even great recommendations for places to check out in Vegas and the surrounding area.
We checked out the stores as well. My Aunt was happy with her cheap purse, my Uncle kept raving about the prices and I felt like I scored with some 3$ earrings. It would have been cool if the shooting gallery was in working order, but still fun to look at. If I ever go again I hope to make it in October for Bonnie Screams and to check out the restaurant.
