Henderson is home to the Henderson Pavilion, host to a number of concerts and plays, and the Clark County Museum, which tells the story about the early days of the Las Vegas Valley. If you travel a few minutes to the North, you can check out the Neon Museum, The Mob Museum, or DISCOVERY Children’s Museum. You can also catch the Las Vegas Philharmonic, the Nevada Ballet Theater, or one of the many touring Broadway shows at The Smith Center. What if you’re missing the ocean?
