4.5 Castaneda Hotel (71 reviews)
- Great restoration of a Las Vegas treasure!
Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings

We have worried about the fate of this hotel since we first vacationed in Las Vegas 30+ years ago, and are thrilled that it has been restored! The bed was comfortable, shower had great pressure and nice hot water. We had a nice view of the tracks so we could see the daily passenger trains arrive. The front desk staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food and drinks at the bar were excellent, as was the outdoor dining on the deep covered porches. Hopefully next time we return the new restaurant will be ready too. And maybe an excursion train to the sister property in Winslow? We will definitely return! See more..
4.5 Dwan Light Sanctuary (39 reviews)
- Hidden Gem
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings

This light sanctuary on the United World College campus(5 miles north of Las Vegas, NM) is not all that well known, even among locals. A nice place to stop and relax, reflect and enjoy the tranquility of the space. While you used to be able to simply drive up and walk to the sanctuary, you now must leave an ID with security at the UWC entrance. See more..

3.5 Storrie Lake State Park (45 reviews)
- Short visit
State Parks • Parks

Only stopped by to relax and have a snack while passing by on the freeway. The lake is pretty. People were swimming, fishing and boating. Appears everyone was social distancing. Nice ramadas to picnic. Toilet areas were clean and stocked. It was very windy which would make any activity less fun. They give you a pass when you pay so you can leave and re-enter if necessary.
