Trail Description:
Not really a trail network. It's actually a wash and more like a virtual dirt skatepark for mtb bikes and dirt bikes. Lots of technical climbs, drops, jumps and other stuff to get creative on. Excellent place to ride when you don't have enough time to hit the desert. There are rythym sections and awesome step up jumps to practice on. Overall, a fun place to ride but if you're looking for a scenic xc ride, this is not it. Say hello to the homeless people near the ditch and watch out for paintball snipers. Oh, and don't ever go into the wash if rain is in the forecast. You will get swept into the storm drain.

How to get there:
From Hwy 15, exit West on Tropicana Blvd. The wash is at the corner of Tropicana and Decatur (just 2.5mi from the strip) Bring your bike to the hotel and you can ride to it.

Additional Notes:
Park at the Home Depot across the street.

i went here for the first time with my brother and it was cool and different being location and atmosphere..can be fun if you want to be brave. Alot of glass so it kinda ruins it though.

Wicked Drops watch out for some of them. There are a few that are around 30 feet max and not a nice clean landing tons of beer bottels and lots of glass be prepared to change a few tires with the amount of junk but its an amazing place gives a nice rush every time.

I use this area to get some mountain riding in during the week (mostly in the evening) when I don't have a lot of time. Good little area to ride right in the middle of everything. Never have had problem with homeless people. I have shared the trials with motorbikes and little kids on BMX bikes.

this is one of the best urban jewels ive found in a long time. all the random trash kinda put me off at first but once i got into all jumps and short crazy downhills it all seemed very fitting. it takes more short bursts of energy rather than endurance to ride this park but all in all pretty fun. and even more fun with a buddy as opposed to solo. and the best part about it is that its legal.

I live right near this spot in Vegas. The area is great for training. If you ride this spot, just bring your water and your creativity! Lots of drops for the Freeride freaks, Climbs for the XC spandex crew, and a few Sections for the DJ'ers. Over all, I'm glad to be near a reasonable training area. Enjoy.

There is lots of stuff here to practice on, watch out for th occasional motorcycle and bums that frequent the area. Haunted Hills is only about 2 miles from the strip, check it out.
