Best Things Nearby:Mesquite, a village of 17,000, has a neat early history museum, some great casino dining and shows, and don't forget to get take out lunch sandwiches at the local food store a mile down main street.Best Things About the Resort:Convenient to casino for reasonable cost dining. Swimming pools, an exercise club available free. Modestly priced and functionally appointed suite with kitchen, dining and living area with pullout couch and reasonable bedroom with queen bed. Resort Experience:We like to hike, canoe, and sightsee, and this Mesquite location provided a reasonably priced home base. The resort itself was inauspicious but attractive and casino based; four swimming pools; had a go-cart track, attractive palm and desert plants landscaping. We spent our time touring, hiking Pine Valley and Duck Lake areas in the Dixie National Forest, toured the road through Zion and canoed in Lake Meade (too windy!). We got a kick out of the local historical museum...structure built in 1934 by, I think what was called the National Youth Corps ...a youth-oriented CCC. This is a community with great spirit that is emerging from its status as a "diamond in the rough." Take time to explore the golf courses as well as the community center and senior center if so inclined. Unit Type: 1 Bedroom Activities: Very Good Amenities: Good Unit Satisfaction: Good Family Friendliness: Fair Service: Good
