After two years of construction, the 180-acre Springs Preserve opened this weekend!! It all began June 8th at 10am and the hours this weekend will be 10am - 10pm. During the Grand Opening weekend of Springs Preserve - there will be a full festival of entertainment ... including a concert tonight, June 9th, at 9pm featuring JEWEL. The Springs Preserve is located at 333 S. Valley View Blvd - just south of US 95 near the Meadows Mall. If you want to see the concert tonight, tickets are $45.
For those of us who like to avoid the Strip - that is unless there's a concert or show we want to see ... or friends are in town - the Springs Preserve was built as a locals attraction. This cultural and historic attraction includes a Wolfgang Pucks cafe, gardens, trails, a working flash-flood exhibit, an animal observatory, and much more. This amazing project was funded by federal, state and private grants - totalling a "strip worthy" price tag of $250 million.
One sad point for all - the Nevada State Museum with all of Nevada's rich history encompassed in a 70,000 square foot building - won't open until Spring 2009.
So head on over - enjoy the new Springs Preserve ... and the reduced locals price for admittance. It's just $14.95 for adults and $6.95 for children/teens age 5-17. Visit their site at http://www.springspreserve.org/
