Beyond the Casinos: Unexpected Hidden Gems in Las Vegas

20. Gilcrease Orchard

Escape the desert landscape entirely at Gilcrease Orchard, a surprising patch of agricultural bounty right within Las Vegas city limits (Northwest). This non-profit orchard allows visitors to pick their own seasonal fruits and vegetables, from apples and peaches in the summer to pumpkins in the fall. Locals flock here for fresh produce, delicious apple cider donuts, and a wholesome family-friendly experience. It's a refreshing, down-to-earth contrast to the Strip's glitz, offering a taste of farm life and community connection that feels worlds away from the casinos. Check their website for seasonal availability and picking schedules.
