PAGE 1 <br> <br> <br> FOR MESSAGE <br> <br> <br> James E. Berry <br> 0-706114 <br> Indian Springs <br> Las Vegas, Nevada <br> <br> <br> The [not legible] Air [not legible] of Indian Springs is meeting. Leave tonight - quite impromptu! <br> <br> <br> Mrs. Tessa Berry-Dunlap <br> 5121-25th Street North <br> Arlington, Virginia <br> <br> <br> Hotel LAST FRONTIER <br> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA <br> <br> <br> PAGE 2 <br> <br> <br> SCENIC ATTRACTIONS CONVENIENT TO HOTEL LAST FRONTIER\ <br> <br> <br> BOULDER DAM and LAKE MEAD - One of America’s newest and most fascinating all-year playgrounds, 30 miles from Las Vegas via Boulder City. Through travel is open across the top of the Dam under U.S. convoy. Lake Mead is the world’s largest man-made body of water, 115 miles long and extending 30 miles up the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Its rugged, 550 miles shoreline is a wondrous setting of incredible beauty and startling colors. Free daily lectures with color slides are presented in the Boulder Theater, Boulder City, at 11 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. Continuous free talkies of the Dam construction are shown at the Boulder Dam Service Bureau. <br> <br> <br> MOUNT CHARLESTON PARK - 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas on a paved highway. The Forest Service maintains public campgrounds with stoves, tables, fuel, water and sanitary accommodation. The Lodge and campgrounds are at 7500 feet. From here a trail rises 4000 feet in 3 miles - through the largest grove of foxtail pine in the world - to Charleston Peak. Here the elevation is more than two miles above the surface of Lake Mead only 50 miles away. The Charleston Mountains enjoy the distinction of having virtually the only snow in the whole State of Nevada. In winter months, snow sports and scenery here are unsurpassed. <br> <br> <br> VALLEY OF FIRE - Vivid vermilion cliffs, enclose this flaming sandstone valley, reached by way of Overton, turning east off U.S. 91 at Glendale. Enroute is Atlatl Rock, famed for Indian Pictographs. Within the Valley are many petrified trees, partly buried by the red sands. Also near here is the Lost City Museum of Pueblo Indian relics. A desert road of 13 miles leads out of the Valley to U.S. 91 at Crystal. <br> <br> <br> DEATH VALLEY - Historic desert wonderland reached from Las Vegas by U.S. 95 through Rose Well and Death Valley Junction, or through Beatty and Daylight Pass. The latter route may include the famed ghost town of Rhyolite, with its deserted stores and Bottle House. At the northern end of Death Valley is the unbelievably palatial Scotty’s Castle. Paved roads traverse the Valley to such places of outstanding interest as Dante’s Point - where you may view the lowest and highest points in the United States - and Zabriskie awe-inspiring Panamint and Funeral Mountains. <br> <br> <br> SPORTS THRILLS GALORE - Here you find yourself in a veritable sportsman’s paradise. All-year swimming and sunbathing are delights to be enjoyed at Lake Mead. A free bathing beach with dressing room, life guard and diving float is maintained by the National Park Service. Lake Mead is open for fishing the year around. Large mouth Black Bass ranging from 2 ½ to 10 pounds are the favored catch. Trout fishing in the Colorado River 15 to 25 miles below Boulder Dam is excellent. Mount Charleston Park is the winter mecca for snow sports enthusiasts; ski tow, ski slides and jumps are provided, and skiing equipment may be secured at the Lodge. In season, the hunter may revel in bagging deer, duck, dove and quail. The desert itself is a constant invitation to those who delight in horseback riding. Golfers find a real test for their game in the nearby all-year turf golf course. For tennis players, there are the City Park courts for daytime and evening play. Name your sport - Las Vegas has it! <br>
