+B.bird Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Getting down to the final planning stages of out trip next month. We intend spending some time cacheing on our holiday and now I am going to ask the million $ question. What cache must I see in the Las Vegas area? we will have a rental car so we dont have to rely on public transport to get us to the area, we are also both reasonably fit so dont mind hiking to the cache. Looking forward to reading your recommendations. B.bird Quote Link to comment

I've only found a few down there but one of my personal favs was "A Special Memory" You have to do the drive through! What they did to the ammo can is just hilarious! You get the feel of "seedy" Las Vegas while doing this one! Edited March 28, 2007 by LostinReno Quote Link to comment

You get the feel of "seedy" Las Vegas while doing this one! I agree..you must do the Special memory cache...even if you don't have a car. We walked up. There are a fun virtuals on the strip and LOTS of lamp skirts in the urban areas close to the strip. There's a multi that has a German name that was creative..kind of east of town..near that mountain that you can see. Have fun! Quote Link to comment

+Blue J Wenatchee Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 When are going to be in Vegas?? I am going to be there 4-22/25 and have done some but want to do more in the Freemont area. If you are going to be there the same time I am and want to find some let me know. I have all on the strip and some off but want a lot more. J Jon Quote Link to comment
WashoeZephyr Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Don't forget Sin City Micro. Stop in on NevadaGeocaching.com and say hello. You never know what type of assistance you will get. I was down there last November, if you want a lot of caches in a short period of time, hit the area West of the strip, kind of near Henderson in the Silverado Ranch Area. Lots of urban ammo cans and larger caches, it was very cool! And seriously stop in the forums in Nevadageocaching.com, I'm sure some of the locals would love to meet up and take you caching!

No, don't do it. Don't go to Nevadageocaching.com. You will never be seen again and there won't be coordinates for any of us to try to find you by. Quote Link to comment

+B.bird Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 When are going to be in Vegas?? I am going to be there 4-22/25 J Jon Hi there, Thanks for the reply, unfortunately we dont arrive in Vegas until the 27th April, there until 5th May. Our aim is for 2 caches per day, but I think we will be doing more than this. Its my partners first visit to the USA, Vegas is like old hat to me will be my 13th trip but first for 15 months. Looking forward to cacheing on this trip. Liz Quote Link to comment
+UtahX5 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) My oldest son lives in Las Vegas where I visited between Christmas and New Years. It was great to be out in shirtsleeves in the "dead of winter". He took me out to Red Rock Canyon which is a nice "loop" drive west of town with several caches of varying degrees of difficulty along the way. As a bonus you may get to see some of the wild donkeys that live out there. If you want a good concentration of caches try Sunset Park somewhat southeast of the airport. It's a very large park with a fistfull of caches in it. A bucket load of jack rabbits too! Hope that helps. Bob Edited April 5, 2007 by 1TonJockey Quote Link to comment
