Las Vegas

Take a mulligan in the City of Second Chances

When I was younger, the allure of Las Vegas was the party atmosphere. Regardless of the time of day, it was easy to slip into a casino and be surrounded by people who were eating, drinking, and gambling the day away. It was fun, but it was exhausting.

Fast forward 15 years from that first trip and I’ve realized a few things, chief among them being that Vegas is a lot more fun when you stay away from The Strip and discover the other great things surrounding the massive casinos.

In the cities around Las Vegas - Summerlin, Henderson, Boulder City, Lake Las Vegas - is a whole collection of resorts and golf courses that offer something for everyone. Without ever stepping foot along the strip or in old downtown, visitors can find great restaurants, shows, and more. The best part, though, is that you can wrap up a trip and not need another week to recover when you get home.

Since its 2003 opening in the heart of North Las Vegas, Cannery Hotel & Casino has become the preferred choice for local and regional residents seeking gaming fun, comfortable accommodations, superb dining, and exhilarating entertainment.
