Beyond the glitz and glamor of the famous Las Vegas Strip, the city and its surrounding areas have so much for locals and tourists to explore. Those looking for apartments for rent in Las Vegas will appreciate Auric Symphony Park’s central location in the city, putting residents within easy commuting distance to many historic locales to make them tourist-for-a-day.
A Little Taste of Vegas History
Close to home, the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Historic Park was the first permanent, non-native settlement in the Las Vegas Valley. This park includes the remains of the adobe fort built in 1855 by Mormon missionaries, as well as historic artifacts. The site neighbors a spring-fed creek, which is the only free-flowing water for miles.
Springs Preserve, also known as the “birthplace of Las Vegas,” is a 180-acre site that originally served as the original source of water for Native Americans living in the area thousands of years ago. The preserve includes a botanical garden, the Nevada State Museum, a butterfly habitat, and much more for locals and tourists to explore and enjoy.
A little under an hour from Auric Symphony Park, the famed Hoover Dam is well worth the drive to see this industrial feat. Visitors can opt for a guided Dam Tour, which gives them the opportunity to ride the original elevator to the top of the Hoover Dam along with a tour through the dam’s inspection tunnels and power plant.
Explore the Wonders of Nature
Outside of the city, residents will want to bookmark a few sites worth a day trip. In addition to countless miles of hiking trails, Red Rock Canyon National Park is home to a wall of historical rock art, approximately 800 years old, also known as petroglyphs and pictographs. A little more than half an hour to the north, Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument is an urban park with preserved resources, including Pleistocene fossils.
