Mesquite
Mesquite is back in action!
Mesquite continues to offer attractions that make the town an outdoor sports paradise as well as a rising star in the NV cultural community. From its bike-friendly designation and ATV and OHRV fun to its new symphony orchestra, Mesquite hits all the right notes.
Target shooters will be excited to learn that The Smokin’ Gun Pistol Range and Shot Shooting Club has opened at the old Oasis Gun Club location. For information about the club and its schedule, call Karrie at 970-778-0717 or Connie at 970-260-9048.
Mesquite sports the temperatures and sunshine that make it a golfing paradise. For those who haven’t visited this mecca of greens, Mesquite claims some of the premier golfing around. Home to seven 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole course, the world flocks to this “diamond in the desert” for its golf and gambling combo that makes for memorable action vacations. Top rated Mesquite golf and golf packages are described and sold at southernnevadagolf.com and mesquitegolfpass.com.
The highly regarded Nevada Open Golf Championship comes to Mesquite November 10-12 at the Palm and CasaBlanca Golf Courses.

For golfers, spectators, and the rest of us, Mesquite offers great evening entertainment.

The Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery welcomes artists from across the U.S. to its annual Lucky 13 Exhibition and Competition, Nov 2 – Jan 2. These artists know how to “downsize,” creating art 13”x13” or smaller for the competition. The free display is open to the public Monday-Saturday, 10a-4p, with a gala public reception on November 19, 4pm. The Gallery opens its beautiful Christmas Boutique of handmade gifts and art on November 23. “Shop Small” and avoid the crush of those big stores on Black Friday!
Mesquite wishes an abundance of blessings to all this Thanksgiving.
