Springs
Preserve is only a few miles from the Las Vegas strip
and is a great place to take a day trip from crowds
and noise of town. Known as the birthplace of Las
Vegas, the site of the Preserve was once home to
bubbling springs that were a source of water for
Native Americans living here thousands of years ago.
The Living Collections include desert tortoises,
kangaroo rats, pocket gophers and other animals in
their underground burrows, a bat cave that allows
a peek into the intriguing world of these nocturnal
desert dwellers, a Gila monster and other wildlife.
