Beginner tips for Las Vegas gyms

Sign the waiver online before you arrive.
Bouldering needs no partner or belay test. Ropes need a belay check, and lead needs a separate test. Read Belaying 101 first.
On hot days, go early or late; the gyms stay open until 9pm or later.
Bring your own shoes if you have them. Rentals cost extra at all three gyms.
Before working hard problems, read the sequence from the ground. Our post on beta reading shows how.

Nearby outdoor climbing

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area sits just west of the city, with sandstone sport, trad and bouldering. Sandstone is fragile after rain, so check local guidance and Mountain Project before you climb. The gyms are the backup on wet or very hot days.
