| - I have been coming to Bonnie Springs for years and years. Little has changed, and a lot has stayed the same. This place is an "experience". Come with an open mind, while the sun is still up if possible and bring walking shoes. Bonnie Springs is an old dude ranch/motel/old town museum/petting zoo/restaurant/bar etc. etc. It's sort of hard to describe really.
If you come during daylight hours you can walk around and see some of the birds and maybe the wild burros that live on the land. At night, it is not advised to wander around in the dark - the burros are mean.
The bar is fun - no neckties allowed. If you enter wearing one, you are given two choices - either remove it, or it will be cut off, and hung on the wall.
There is a big stone woodburning fireplace with chairs all around that is perfect for puting your boots up and having a beer while you wait for a table.
The food is wonderful - simple menu, wholesome, basic meat and potatoes menu that can't be beat. After a day in the saddle, sit down with friends and a hearty apetite. The salad is fresh and crisp, the ranch style potato is delicious, and the steaks are all divine. Service is unobtrusive, friendly.
If you want another side of Las Vegas (25 minutes outside of Vegas), this feels like a million miles away!
