| - If you haven't been out to the Wild West town in Bonnie Springs you should definitely put it on your list of things to do when visiting town. Don't get me wrong, a night on the strip with shining lights, clubs, pools, drinks, while indulging on any and every vice you may have is first priority when Vegas-ing, but if you're looking for something a little slower speed, Bonnie Springs is a great option.
To get into Bonnie Springs it costs $10 ($7 for the youngsters), but to go to the restaurant is free. Surprisingly, the food was really good. I didn't have much of an expectation since the town looks like it could be a tourist trap of hidden fees (it's not at all, btw). While the restaurant is on the higher priced side for the offerings (sandwiches $13-$15ish) the quality was really good. Wife and I had the same exact thing, cheeseburgers cooked medium w/ cheddar cheese and we got a grilled cheese for the little man. By 2yo my son will be able to write a book on the best grilled cheeses in the valley. Burgers were cooked to perfection, seasoned nicely, and the bun was fresh. It was a really good all American burger. Young buck loved his grilled cheese. Pro tip, their ranch dressing is off the charts.
The rest of the day was great and included watching a hanging in town, attending a melodrama, a walk through the petting zoo (a deer ate my sons snacks), and we concluded with an old west photo.
Great day trip that I would highly recommend to someone looking for a little change of pace in Vegas.
