Born is Henderson, Nevada. A pretty offbeat place that was created to give people who work in the casinos, bars, clubs and strip joints a place to live (sleep?). This is arguably the real Las Vegas -- 24 kilometers or so away from the strip.

| Favourite spots: |
|
Saporo (sushi joint), random vantage points that overlook the strip

| What's really great: |
|
This town is great! About 1% of the population is actually from Nevada. Artificial grass runs rampant (and looks real, too!) because you're actually in a desert somewhat elevated above the hustle. At 4-way intersections, people stop to let you cross the street. Something that was rare for me. :)

| Accommodations: |
|
Standard econo brands are copious. You don't really come here for luxury.

|
| Other recommendations: |
|
The coolest thing in Henderson may just be the car wash. Expect to spend about an hour here. No one is in a rush.
