Band on the Run: Trippin’ in O’Hare Airport [Gadling]

Nature in the middle of all this neon?

Vegas has gone back to its beginnings. Not the Bugsy Siegel ones, but the Stone Age ones.On June 8, the city opened the most unlikely of attractions: the Las Vegas Springs Preserve.
The 180-acre tract about four miles northwest of the Strip marks the spot where a natural spring helped give the city its name (”the meadows,” in Spanish). Though the spring all but dried up half a century ago, it’s now the heart of a new non-gaming attraction that aspires to be the Central Park of Las Vegas.

I’m going to be heading over to Vegas in November and me and the wife love hitting new places in Vegas. This should be a great place to check out away from all the hustle of the strip.
