Gold Butte Days is a celebration of the heritage and natural wonder of the Gold Butte area, which covers approximately 360,000 acres south of Mesquite, NV including most of the area bounded on the north and west by the Virgin River, on the south by the Colorado River and on the east by the state of Arizona.
