About this spot

The Asylum

The Asylum is a unique location in the Las Vegas Wash watershed located in Nevada. This abandoned psychiatric institution is now a popular spot for urban explorers and photographers. The facility was built in the 1930s and was operational until 1992, after which it was left abandoned. The buildings are now covered in graffiti and are in various states of decay, making it a fascinating location for those interested in urban decay and abandoned places. Visitors may also come across remnants of the asylum's past, such as old medical equipment and patient records.

Aside from its eerie atmosphere, there are several good reasons to visit The Asylum. It offers a unique opportunity to explore a piece of Las Vegas history and gain a glimpse into the past. Visitors can also take stunning photos of the graffiti-covered walls and buildings, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts. However, it is important to note that The Asylum is located on private property and is considered trespassing. Visitors should be respectful of the site and take proper safety precautions before entering the buildings.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
