What to Do When You’re Not on the Range at CANCON
You just spent the day shooting more suppressed guns than most people fire in a lifetime. Here’s where the night takes you.
CANCON Las Vegas happens at Boulder Rifle & Pistol Club, which puts you within about 20 minutes of two totally different nights out. Head northwest and you’re on the Strip — lights, tables, shows, 24-hour everything. Stay close and you’re in Boulder City itself: a slower, mid-century desert town with zero casinos and a lot of character. Pick whichever one matches the trip you’re actually having.
The Las Vegas Strip
Lights on, ammo down, cards up.
- Gambling — every game, every stakes level, 24/7
- Nightlife that doesn’t check a watch
- Clubbing at the rooftop and mega-club level
- World-class shows, residencies, and headliners
- Food from strip-mall gems to tasting-menu icons
- The glitz and glamour Vegas built its name on
This is the Vegas you already know how to picture — and it’s about 20 minutes from the range. If you want blinking lights, a table game, and a 2 a.m. dinner reservation, this is your night.
Boulder City, Nevada
High-desert calm, mid-century charm.
- Artisan shops and local makers
- Boutiques worth an actual browse
- Antique stores stacked with finds
- Genuinely great places to eat and drink
- A small-town nightlife scene — beer bars, craft cocktails, and live music
- No gambling within city limits — by law
Boulder City is the only town in Nevada where casino gambling isn’t allowed — so there are no blinking lights, no slot machines by the door, no arcade hum. What’s left is a walkable, historic, high-desert town with real character.
