Horses Come to Las Vegas

If you build it, they will come.  And it was built, and you can enjoy it !  Coming in from Los Angeles, the South Point hotel and casino has become a great spot for horse events - shows, competitions, even Grand Prix, the South Point has a stable on the ground floor near its huge indoor (and outdoor) livestock arenas.

Noteably, if you aren't coming to a show, you can get to Las Vegas with your horse, stable them in the same place as yourself, and go for a ride the next morning out at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada's first National Conservation Area.  from the South Point, take 15 north to the 215.  Go north (west) around the south bend and find yourself coming up on Hwy 159, the road to some of the most beautiful Rock Stars (pun intended) in Nevada.  The trail head is just beyond the entrance to the park where the Scenic Loop exits. 

If you need help with your horses while you're here, visit our website for information on what All Pets can help you with to ensure a memorable, enjoyable vacation with your horse.   For more information about the South Point, just click!

Pets Vacationing in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a busy place.  Not only are there over 1.5 million residents, the city sometimes sees as many as 300,000 people at a time on The Strip.  Many hotels allow pets and here is an area where All Pets Concierge can help.  Pets are usually allowed in rooms, but not while the housekeeper is there.  If you can't watch your pet for that hour, give us a call.  It's important that your dogs get out of the room for fresh air, a potty break, and maybe a treat; cats may want some company, to have their litter box changed, or a little play time. 

People have called in the past asking for a pet-nanny for their hotel room as the animal may need attention such as an insulin shot, a diaper changed, assistance to eat or drink or use a sandbox.  While a body is at the spa or casino, there's no reason your pet can't enjoy the vacation also!

Walking is another good diversion for pets.  Getting your pets outdoors in Las Vegas can be a challenge.  When the temperature rises over 100F, as it will for perhaps every day in summertime, it's better that your pets are kept inside the air conditioned hotels.  But for the rest of the year, a walk up or down the Strip is a chance to see, hear, and most of all, SMELL one of the most diverse and exciting cities in the world. Did you know that the climate here almost eliminates the chance of your pet picking up fleas.
