10 Shopping in Henderson That You Shouldn't Miss
Ideally situated just south of Las Vegas and just west of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, Henderson may lack Sin City's flamboyance, but it makes up for it in activities. Golf any of eight championship courses throughout the year, sample delectable treats from Ethel M Chocolates as you explore the Botanical Cactus Garden, the world’s largest cactus collection, pay respects at the Henderson Veteran's Memorial Wall or take your binoculars to the Bird Viewing Preserve.

We are an independent used book store with a WIDE variety of used books, new and unique gift items as well as a limited selection of new books. We have thousands of books (paperback and hard cover) on site and about 30,000 additional books in our warehouse. If we don't have it...we have a "wish list" and will try to find "your" book for you. Currently we do not buy or trade books (start up costs a lot...) but can take your donations.

We are proud to offer fresh-crafted, locally-made, gourmet chocolate. Our preservative-free treats have been made fresh in Henderson, Nevada since 1981, and most of our ingredients are made on site. We also offer one of the world's largest cactus gardens, which we decorate annually for the holidays and Valentine's Day with hundreds of thousands of lights and festive designs. Ethel M Chocolates is a Mars, Inc. company. You may be familiar with other Mars products, like M&Ms, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, and Dove, among others. But Ethel M Chocolates is the only gourmet, premium chocolate brand in the Mars portfolio. And it's made fresh, here in Henderson. Stop by!

Living in Las Vegas, I have heard about the Ethel M Cactus Garden Christmas Lights. This year, I was lucky to hear about the required reservations due to Covid and snagged a reservation. Invited several friends, but only one would accompany me. We made it two minutes late, but were welcomed with open arms and thermometer (for Covid testing). We dropped off the food bank donation (toys or food were suggested on their website). Driving there, you do not see anything until you turn the final corner. The spectacular display just appears as you turn into the parking lot. And a glorious and welcome site it was. Your reservation is for 15 minutes of walking and viewing the entirely decorated 3 acres of cactus gardens. You are welcomed with your choice of milk or dark chocolate piece of candy to get your energy up for the viewing. There are identifying signs for various cacti that you see along the one way path (again, for Covid). Amazing to see these long cactus spines sticking out from trunks wrapped in colored lights.. Different presentations as the cactus changed. Lights in trees, cascading like water, filling up and starting again. One section had displays of blue and green jewel colored lights turned into a family of peacocks. (See photo.) Lots to notice if you take the time to stop and look with eyes of wonder like I did. You don't have to enter the candy shop at the end of the viewing, if you don't want to. But we did. Tremendous variety in milk or dark chocolate and also sugar free. I selected a macadamia nut, Bailey's Irish Cream and coconut delight choice, all in dark chocolate. They were eaten in the car on the way home ! I blew my calorie count for the day, but it was a wonderful way to top off a totally sensory experience. My appointment was on Dec 28th, seeing all that beauty after Christmas did not matter for me, it might be different for children. Convenient to freeways, depending on the route you choose. Nighttime is early at this time of year, so lights are spectacular for viewing. Dress warm, take your time, look every which way for different views from behind of displays you already passed. Take it all in and have as much fun as we did.
