Mesquite is found 80 mi (129 km) north of Las Vegas on the Nevada-Arizona border in Clark County, only 40 mi (65 km) from St. George, Utah. Many look at Mesquite as a gateway to adventure, as it sits centrally on Interstate 15, leading to destinations like Zion National Park to the east and the Valley of Fire State Park to the west. Accommodations in this burgeoning tourist destination range from luxurious resorts to well-equipped camping facilities. Las Vegas-style gaming and live entertainment is offered at a number of Mesquite casinos, each open 24 hours a day. With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the area offers excellent conditions for playing a round of golf on one of the many golf courses. In addition, the Mesquite Recreation Center provides a host of indoor activities, whether it is working out in the weight room, swimming at the pool or taking an aerobics class.
