Even in a big city like Las Vegas, a picnic is a great outdoor activity. There are a variety of places that you can enjoy a picnic in peace, and some of the Las Vegas tours even include a champagne picnic! Here´s a look at some of the most beautiful picnic locations in the Las Vegas area.

If you´re looking for somewhere in the city to enjoy a calm picnic, the Botanical Gardens are always a good place to head for a tranquil afternoon. Enjoy the flowers and beautiful plants while you munch a sandwich and take some pictures. This is definitely one of the more beautiful places in Las Vegas where you can enjoy nature.

For a more exotic picnic, why not lunch on the shore of Lake Mead? This man-made lake is the result of the Hoover Dam being built and it is now a very popular destination for people who want to just sit back and relax, go for a swim or boat. The lake is quite picturesque on a sunny day and you can either hang out on the beach or go kayaking to make it the perfect day.

And, of course, there´s the Grand Canyon, an ideal place for a Las Vegas picnic. Take your food with you from one of the trendy Las Vegas restaurants and drive out to the canyon to enjoy a picnic along the rim, overlooking the canyon. It´s a one of a kind experience, but you can make it even better by taking a helicopter trip right down inside the canyon and having your picnic sitting beside the clear waters of the Colorado River.
