Why this plan works

Clark County Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at O Callaghan Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to adults, solo, friends, and couples who want a planned Henderson outing without improvising between stops.
