Nearby Attractions

About 6 miles from the Strip in the town of Henderson are a couple of attractions that seem small time in comparison with the glitz offered elsewhere. But if you need a break from all the high-tech, multimedia energy that buffets you in the city, you won't be alone. It's surprising how many people wander over this way for a bit more staid, though engaging, older-fashioned amusement.

To get to Henderson, drive east on Tropicana Avenue, make a right on Mountain Vista, then go 2 miles to Sunset Way; turn left into Green Valley Business Park. You will soon see Ethel M Chocolates, a good place to begin. Use the map in this section to find your way to the other facility.
