Pahrump sits just west of Las Vegas, about an hours’ drive around Red Rock Canyon. The town itself rests on the Nevada-California border and provides a scenic reprieve from the noise and lights of Sin City. Pahrump offers relatively affordable apartment and home rentals in a classically cool desert setting, completely with succulent gardens, terracotta roofs, and towering palms.
Pahrump isn’t a suburban accessory to Las Vegas, there’s plenty to do in this unique town without venturing east. Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Pahrump Valley Winery make for engaging destinations, and there’s plenty to do and see along State Road 160, where you’ll find convenient shopping, community parks, and a variety of dining options. Of course, the dazzling lights and amenities of the Strip are well within reach, and the expanse of SoCal is just across the border.
