Founded in 1991, the company is open all year round. Skydive Las Vegas is also the only skydiving center in the region with a landing area right next to the facility.

Around 130 km northeast of Las Vegas, the Mesquite golf course is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the USA, with its emerald-tinted curves verging on the unreal and winding through canyons of red rock. Opened in 2000, it stretches for almost 6 km and is considered the fourth most challenging golf course in the country. Despite the incredible views it offers at every turn, it's not the best place to try your hand at the discipline. On the other hand, it offers a fine challenge for experienced players.

Shadow Creek Golf Course is a legendary golf course in Las Vegas. Designed by renowned architect Tom Fazio, this course is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It has been included in Golf Digest's list of America's Top 100 Golf Courses for 2019-2020. To play Shadow Creek, you must be a guest of an MGM Resorts International destination. A private limousine service is available to take you to and from the course. Upon arrival, a personal caddie will greet you and guide you through your golf experience. Each hole at Shadow Creek has unique features that make it a challenge for golfers. For example, hole 17 has a green three times as wide as it is deep, making distance control paramount. The course offers exceptional natural beauty, with perfectly manicured fairways and greens bordered by crystal-clear water.

The establishment also offers a shuttle service (located on the Strip at The Shops at Crystal). Reservations can be made via the company's website or by telephone.

Located before the entrance to Red Rock Canyon, Calico Hills is well worth a stop to explore. This trail offers close access to the climbing spots and one of the best views of the Canyon's red cliffs. It follows the Calico I and II trails. Above all, it offers different landscapes. Red rock may be present, but the natural environment here is more generous than in the Canyon. At the entrance to Calico Hills (on the community side), you'll also find a large parking lot and picnic areas.
