| Destination Mesquite |
Sometimes the middle of nowhere is a pretty good place to be. Just ask the developers who in the last decade have put little Mesquite, Nevada on the map as a refreshing getaway from the bustle of raging civilization.
Situated near the remote borders of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, just 37 miles south of St. George and 80 miles north of Las Vegas, this quaint hamlet has in the last decade become one of the fastest growing cities in the country and an irresistible lure for golfers, amateur athletes, recreation enthusiasts and endless sightseers.
The Golf Vacation Destination
Winding through the hills and canyons of Northwest Mesquite lays a variety of the most picturesque golf venues in all of Nevada. With seven courses to choose from all your golf desires will be met.
Lodging
Mesquite boasts the best get-a-way in southern Nevada. Beautiful resorts with luxurious pools, spas and action packed casinos. Gourmet food can be found at Katherine’s in the CasaBlanca or Gregory’s at the Eureka. There are more than 3,000 rooms available to accommodate your individual or group needs. From golf to bowling you will find it all at Mesquite’s finest resorts.
Whether it’s a quiet room, a night on the town, or the 24-hour excitement of gaming, Mesquite has it all. Choose from a variety of non-gaming hotels and motels, as well as resort casinos to sit back and watch the world go by.
The Arts
The Mesquite Fine Arts Center activities include free-to-the-public artist receptions, competitions, guest lecturers and art classes. The Center includes a gallery and exhibition room, gift shop and classroom. The Center provides local artisans a beautiful venue to display and sell their paintings, jewelry, pottery, stained glass, sculptures and more. The Center also plays host to a number of traveling exhibitions throughout the year.
The Mesquite Arts Council spotlights the performing arts and invites the community to experience the thrill of live performance with its many concerts. The Council’s outreach program has been successful in hosting the Missoula Children’s Theatre, sponsoring community specialty acts and performers for the entertainment of local residents. Each November, the Council hosts the Annual Festival of Trees, a time-honored family event that helps welcome in the holiday season.
