Driving Around Desert Golf Paradise Mesquite, Nevada in 4k Video

Filmed on Tuesday, February 27 2024, I drive around Mesquite, NV to see what's going on.

Mesquite was settled by Mormon pioneers in 1880, who called it Mesquite Flat. The community was finally established on the third attempt after having been flooded out from the waters of the Virgin River. The name was later shortened to Mesquite, and the city was incorporated 1984. The community was named for the mesquite timber near the original town site.

By 2006, Mesquite was one of the fastest-growing small towns in the United States.

Mesquite is home to several casinos, including the Virgin River Casino, CasaBlanca, Eureka, and Stateline Casino and Motel.

Mesquite is a stopping point for those traveling along I-15 between Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.

Mesquite is a destination for year-round golf, with over nine public courses in the warm desert climate, it draws golfers from all over America. It previously hosted the annual RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship until 2015.

Mesquite Airport provides facilities for general aviation and skydiving.
