We encourage you to get off campus if you have the time! The Arts District is a short 5 min car ride from FB or Sahara and it is our favorite place in Vegas that continues to add new places. Our friends have shops and restaurants here and we've listed a few below for you to check out. Would love your support for our local community!
If you really need to get away from the casino and have a car - go for a hike in Red Rock. It's beautiful, about 5-10 degrees cooler than downtown/ the strip and provides some much needed nature respite.
