Mesquite, Nevada is an oasis in the desert just 80 miles north of Las Vegas. No city in Nevada would be complete without a casino, and Mesquite is no exception. The Casablanca Resort is a beautiful venue with plenty of games to play and a pool for those scorching sunny days Nevada is known for. If you want to learn more about the area’s pioneer history, head to the Virgin Valley Heritage Museum to find out what life used to be like. While Mesquite might be small, it still has plenty of dining and shopping options, ensuring you’ll have plenty to do while in town.
While visiting Mesquite, be sure to head to one of the dispensaries in town, too. The state of Nevada legalized medical marijuana in November 2000, followed by adult-use marijuana in November 2016. While the city of Mesquite only has one dispensary at the moment, consumers can still purchase a variety of edibles, flower and concentrates in town. It should be noted that it is illegal to smoke marijuana in public (or in the casino) or to drive while high.
