Clark County at a Glance
Located in the southeast corner of Nevada,
Clark County offers everything from outdoor family activities to adult excursions
and events. Thousands of people are attracted to this area as it is home to Las
Vegas, which is famous for its neon-illuminated casinos,
world-class performances, unique nightclubs and NASCAR races at the Las
Vegas Motor Speedway. From the bright lights of Vegas, visitors can head to
the Hoover
Dam, a wonder of a different sort. Rising 726 ft (221 m), the dam is a source
of electrical power, as well as a water management facility and an engineering
marvel that offers presentations, exhibitions and guided tours. Thousands of ancient
cave drawings are found at Grapevine
Canyon, which also boasts waterfalls and trails for visitors to explore. Clark
County is also home to Red
Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Valley
of Fire State Park, as well as the tourist destinations of Henderson,
Laughlin and Boulder
City.
