Tell EM Red Sent YA!!! ;)

The Wild West is still as wild as ever in Old Nevada, a replica of an 1880's mining town built on the 115-acre Bonnie Springs Ranch.

Las Vegas is the epitome of the fast-paced, ultra-modern city - swank, glittering, and exciting; but just a short, 25 mile drive away, you can visit the past again. Bonnie Springs Old Nevada is John Wayne country. Boarded sidewalks that creak pleasantly under your feet, saloons, tumbleweeds, stagecoaches, and even a Boot Hill Cemetery.

Bonnie Springs Old Nevada is a great place for the entire family and there are lots of attractions for the kids, including a petting zoo, cowboys and cowgirls, and on weekends and holidays, a miniature train ride, and a "posse" show where the kids can even help track down the 'bad guy". This little old mining town offers plenty of rousing, rough-and-tumble action, simulated gunfights in the streets, an 1830's melodrama complete with mustachioed villain in our authentically recreated Saloon, and even a public hanging, with an obliging Stuntman swaying in the wind. All shows are kids friendly and we encourage audience participation.

In addition to our gunfights and cowboys, there's a wax museum with figures from our frontier history, we serve great homemade meals in our restaurant, a beautiful and romantic 1800's style wedding chapel, along with convention facilities, and plenty of shopping for those looking for turquoise and silver and other western souvenirs. Bonnie Springs Old Nevada is an adventurous outing for the whole family.

 

Bonnie Springs Ranch was originally built in 1843 as a stopover for the wagon trains going to California down the Old Spanish Trail. In 1846, General Fremont, on his way to California, stopped at what is now Bonnie Springs Ranch to gear up for his trip through Death Valley. Since 1952, the ranch has been used as a tourist attraction. Often called "an oasis in the desert", where you can stop for a cool drink of spring water.

Bonnie Springs Ranch got its start back in the early 1950's when Al Levinson, a recently arrived New Yorker, met and married Las Vegas dancer and showgirl, Bonnie McGaugh. Bonnie passed her strong love for the West and its historic past onto her husband, and together they ambitiously decided to recreate and preserve as much of the wild and woolly old Nevada as they could. Levinson began building the little mining town of Old Nevada back in the early 1970's after doing extensive historical research and slowly gathering artifacts from the 1880's. Bit by bit, and piece by piece, Old Nevada grew, built really upon the curiosity and energy of Al and Bonnie.

Today the grounds are a delight for locals and tourists alike. There is a fine dinner house and a quaint cocktail lounge. We have a wide variety of animals for you to see in our zoo. Both native and non-native, including Simba the Canadian Lynx and our beautiful wolves. We have a large stable of horses for your riding pleasure, pony rides for the kids and an adorable motel with fireplace rooms and Jacuzzi tubs. The joy and adventure of visiting Bonnie Springs Ranch really begins as soon as you start from Las Vegas. In the thirty minutes it'll take you to reach our town, you'll experience a desert wonderland of cacti, plants, and unique trees: The Yucca, the Barrel Cactus, the Prickly Pear, and the Joshua. You will see what is called "The Lord's Candle". the long stem that grows out of the center will burn for hours like a torch. The prospectors and settlers used them for light long before lanterns were abundant or even available.

When you reach Bonnie Springs, you'll see that we are nestled at the foot of majestic peaks. the colorful bluffs are a monument of historic mysteries. in fact, from the porch of our museum you'll see a door-like slab carved in the face of one of our peaks. the logical speculation is that it was an Indian altar but no one knows for sure. It is these things, however, and things like this that make a visit to Old Nevada so wonderfully unusual and so enjoyable to young and old alike.

If you're lucky you will see some of Nevada's wild life that roams free beyond the canyon walls. There are wild donkeys, horses, coyotes, polecats, badger, deer, elk, and big horn sheep. And, along with the poisonous sidewinder and green Mojave, there is the only poisonous lizard in the United States - The Gila Monster.

Inside Old Nevada you'll find no false fronts. We pride ourselves in being a real town. Along with our western town, saloon, and shops, there is also a petting zoo, our famous Bonnie Springs Ranch Restaurant, and horseback riding for the whole family. At Bonnie Springs Old Nevada, we boast a very special enchantment - You don't look at the Old West, you live it!
