Real Las Vegas Desert Time

June 26th, 2008 by Las Vegas USA Blog

The Nevada Desert around Las Vegas really doesn´t seem terribly desert-like, at least not in the way we usually think of a desert, pure sand. The desert here is actually quite fertile, with everything from Joshua trees to tumbleweeds and cacti growing in it.

However, for some real desert, you can visit the Amargosa Sand Dunes. These amazing dunes are made of sand blown into mountains by the hot desert winds and the best way to check them out is to take a dune buggy!

These amazing sand dunes are so near Las Vegas that it´s pretty easy to get to them. You´ll even be picked up from your hotel when you book a dune buggy tour to the Amargosa sand dunes, so it really couldn´t be any easier. Finding the time to go will be your only issue.

Las Vegas has a lot to offer within the city, but you´ll also find that this is the ideal place to get in touch with nature, too. Head out in a dune buggy and you´ll see a lot more of Nevada than you ever expected!

    I’ve been to vegas before and it was scorching hot you couldn’t be outdoors for more than a few minutes without burning up.

    What do you recommend is the best time of year to go on a desert trip?
