Desert Oasis
About 45 minutes from Las Vegas, this little throwback to the outlaw times is an interesting place to stop and have cold beer after a nice drive or hike in Red Rock Canyon National Preserve. Don't let the tough looking biker presence intimidate you, just mind your own business and you'll be OK. Many of them are bike loving German tourists anyway!
If you feel like having a burger or something off the grill, take your drink and walk to the back side, order your food and enjoy a relaxing few moments away from the busy city life.
