Las Vegas is not just all about bright lights and glitz. For a break from gambling and sin, take a unique and refreshing six-hour trip outside Las Vegas, and you’ll find a much cooler environment – 30 to 40 degrees – that’s a quarry for the really unlucky bastards- creatures called trilobites, the partiers that freely roamed the ocean floors 500 million years ago (pre Paris Hilton).
It’s a 40-acre wide place called U-Dig Fossils, a trilobite quarry located about 52 miles west of Deltah, Utah. You can scale large mountaintops and break into rocks to try to find the original partiers for $28 to $70 from Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For further information: 435-864-3638 or www.u-digfossils.com
