Red Rock Las Vegas: Review, Tickets & What to Expect

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area proves that the best of Las Vegas isn't always on the Strip. Just 30 minutes west of the city, its dramatic red and cream sandstone cliffs rise over a desert threaded with hiking trails, climbing routes and a celebrated 13-mile one-way scenic loop drive.

The visitor center introduces the area's geology and wildlife, from wild burros to desert tortoises. During the busy cooler months, the scenic loop requires a timed-entry reservation in addition to the per-vehicle fee, so book ahead and arrive early for the best light and parking. Check current fees and reservations online.

Insider tipThe scenic loop requires a timed-entry reservation in the busy cooler months plus a per-vehicle fee, so book ahead — and go early, when the light on the cliffs is best and the trailhead lots aren't full.
