This list has something for everyone, including a punk rock dive bar, a hidden experimental cocktail bar, locals' favorites and many more.

For those with desert wanderlust — or who would enjoy a skydiving free fall with views of Hoover Dam at 120 mph — the list is fodder for bucket lists and exploration.
