Spring Valley, NV - A Good Mix of Old and New User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 03, 2010) One of the best attractions in Spring Valley is the Bright Valley Farms. There you can ride horses from beginner style to advance. They also allow you to feed the horses and have two small trails, with one for running and one for walking. There is also a place called Air Time tha ...Read More t has jumping balloons, inflatable obstacle courses and arcade games.

The Communities in Spring Valley are very very nice, but that may be because Las Vegas Strip is located two miles away. The houses are well kept and lots of parks. I also think that when there are people outside jogging and walking it says good things about a community. There is a great mix of old world charm as well as new modern achitechture.

The restaurants in Spring Valley are very nice. My original expectation was that the restaurants would be second rate with Las Vegas next door, but I was plesantly surprised. Nora's Cuisine was really top of the line with their service and food. Other great restaurants are Cafe Mastrioni, Kabob Palace and Black Bear Diner.

There are not many night clubs in Spring Valley but that is probably because the clubs would go out of business. The Las Vegas Strip is so close that no one would go to clubs in Spring Valley. I had a few drinks at Pete's Place and I did like the $5 happy hour pitchers of beers.

There is next to no shopping in Spring Valley. All the stores are on the Las Vegas Strip. I saw Walmarts, Targets, and a Best Buy but there are no malls in the city of Spring Valley. Read Less

      Spring Valley, NV

      Spring Valley is an unincorporated town just on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The popularity of Vegas has, of course, contributed to its growth but the area does have its own unique economy and culture. The area has a diverse population and the varied backgrounds of people here has helped fuel the innovation and success of the community.
