As the saying goes, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," so you'll want to keep these places a secret. Hidden gem hotels in Las Vegas Cosmopolitan Hotel Located on the Las Vegas strip, the Cosmopolitan Hotel is a luxury resort that is operated by MGM Resorts International. Emily of Elopement Las Vegas, a Las Vegas wedding planning service, says, "The food and drinks at Cleaver Steakhouse are amazing, and you can't get a better deal on a quality steak. Hidden gem attractions in Las Vegas Neon Museum The Neon Museum features neon signs from old casinos and Las Vegas businesses. Local photographer Jamie Y shares, "My favorite hidden gem in Las Vegas is the Neon Museum. Although it has become quite popular, it is still unknown to so many people that come to visit. It is filled with old Vegas signs from hotels of Vegas past. While the newer casinos have a more modern look, the Neon Museum is a place that can take you back in history. With a daytime tour and nighttime tour, it is a must-do on your visit." The Village at Lake Las Vegas The Village at Lake Las Vegas is a great place to go for fine dining, shopping, hotels, and water sports. "My favorite hidden gem in Las Vegas is called Clark County Wetlands Park, which is found on the east side of Vegas. It's a big park with little streams all over and nice long trails to walk around in all their different paths. There are also lots of little animals you might encounter on the hike, such as jackrabbits, quail, and beavers. It's also great for kids because they have an awesome Nature Center building which is great for education," remarks Susy Martinez Photography, a local photographer. Hiking Las Vegas, a hiking blog sharing the best hikes in and around Las Vegas, shares, "White Pinnacle Peak is quickly becoming one of the must-do peaks in the Southwest for adventure seekers. Why? Imagine walking or crawling out to the summit with a 400-foot drop on one side and a 1,000-foot drop on the other side. The iconic photo when you are at the summit is a photo you will treasure." Corn Creek Desert National Wildlife Refuge A hidden gem in the middle of the desert, Corn Creek Desert National Wildlife Refuge has its own unique ecosystem within its boundaries that encompasses a freshwater creek, a grassy meadow, many types of plants and trees, and the desert area surrounding it.
