If bustling and uber-busy Las Vegas isn’t in the cards for a desert golf sojourn, why not opt for little brother Mesquite, Nevada? It’s a mellow travel experience a world away from the lively Vegas-baby atmosphere everyone imagines.
Hardly boring, Mesquite is a town on the move, about 80 miles northeast of Vegas. Still a gambling hub, it’s rich in history but quieter and more leisurely. This quickly growing area once began as a Mormon settlement over 150 years ago among Vermilion mesas and sandstone cliffs enveloping comfortably craggy and untouched views—and those vistas haven’t changed.
