Don’t Live in Las Vegas If You Want A Boring Retirement
Be prepared to be entertained when retiring to an active adult retirement community in Las Vegas. Known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World”, Las Vegas does not lack when it comes to putting together you list of “Things to Do in Retirement.”
Las Vegas offers retirees much more than just the glitz and glam nightlife of casinos along the strip. It also offers active adults in retirement outdoor adventures, performance and visuals arts, as well as volunteer opportunities.
“To-Do In Retirement Item #1″: Enjoy the Outdoors!
Las Vegas has 300+ sunshine days which makes it the perfect place for outdoor activities. Here you can hike, bike, walk, and camp to your heart’s desire. Lake Mead is a popular place for local waterskiing and Mount Charleston attracts those who love the snow in wintertime.
Did I mention golf (like anyone would even consider golf in retirement…!)? Choices abound when in comes to golf in Las Vegas. You can schedule tee-times at over 60 golf courses and, if you really want a good value with challenge, book a time at the Tuscany Golf Course by Lake Mead. It was voted “Best Value Course” and “Vegas’ Toughest Golf Hole #9″ in 2008.
Like to watch golf? Las Vegas also hosts many televised golf tournaments such as the PGA Tour’s Michelin Championships at Las Vegas, LPGA Takefuji Classic and Wendy’s Three-Tour Challenge.
“To-Do In Retirement Item #2″: Enjoy the Arts!
If music is your tune, The Las Vegas Philharmonic fills the air with melody at concerts throughout the year. The Las Vegas Philharmonic is a nationally recognized orchestra and a six-time recipient of the Best Performing Arts Group award. Sam Boyd Stadium, named after a major figure in the hotel/casino industry (go figure!), hosts the Vegoose Festival which features some of the biggest names in rock and roll, country and pop music.
Ballet patrons will enjoy the Nevada Ballet Theater and for those who enjoy the outdoors, you’ll definitely want to buy tickets for live, theatrical performances held at the outdoor Super Summer Theater at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.
If artwork is your fancy, the Las Vegas strip is actually a great place to view classics by Ansel Adams and Roy Lichtenstein – you’ll find them at the Las Vegas Bellagio Resort. And, while you’re there, stroll on down to the Luxor and view the Bodies Exhibition. The Exhibition showcases real full-bodies and organs, provides a detailed, three-dimensional vision of the human form. Tickets are $29 for those 65 and older, $28 for local residents.
“To-Do In Retirement Item #3″: Enjoy Giving Back!
For those of you who are excited that you now have the time to contribute to your community and share your time, talents and compassion, many non-profit and charity organizations call Las Vegas home. Such organizations include the Ronald MacDonald House, Boys and Girls Club and The American Cancer Society.
Retiring as an active adult in Las Vegas provides a wealth of things to do. You will never lack for an item on your “To-Do” list. If you are looking for other retirees to join you as you experience the various items on your list, consider living in a Las Vegas active adult retirement community. You’ll be sure to find others just as active as you!
