Vegas Lifestyle
Living in Las Vegas
More Than a Home. A Vegas Lifestyle.
The Las Vegas most people picture is four miles of resort corridor. The Las Vegas residents live in is a valley of neighborhoods, canyons, restaurants, ball games and very good weather.
Dining
World-Class Dining and Entertainment
Few cities of this size offer this much at the table. Celebrity chef restaurants and resort dining sit alongside the neighborhood spots residents actually eat at most weeks, and the entertainment calendar rarely takes a night off.
- Celebrity chef restaurants and fine dining
- Neighborhood restaurants across every part of the Valley
- Resident-facing entertainment beyond the resort corridor
- Residency shows and touring concerts year round
- Major events and festivals throughout the year
Sports
A Real Sports Town
Las Vegas has turned into a genuine professional sports city, and game nights here feel like it.
- Vegas Golden Knights, NHL hockey
- Las Vegas Raiders, NFL football at Allegiant Stadium
- Las Vegas Aces, WNBA basketball
- Major boxing, UFC, motorsports and championship events
- An NBA franchise has been discussed as a future possibility, though none exists today
Outdoors
The Desert Is Closer Than You Think
The part visitors miss is how quickly the city ends and the landscape begins. Twenty minutes from most neighborhoods and you are somewhere entirely different.
- Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
- Lake Mead National Recreation Area
- Mount Charleston, with real elevation and seasonal snow
- Valley of Fire State Park
- Day trips to Death Valley, Zion and the Grand Canyon
- Hiking, cycling, boating and year-round golf
Everyday Life
The Part Visitors Never See
Residents rarely spend their weekends on the Strip. Life here happens in neighborhoods with schools, grocery runs, youth sports, community parks and restaurants where the staff knows your order.
- Established residential communities across the whole Valley
- Master-planned neighborhoods with parks and trails
- Community events, farmers markets and local festivals
- Harry Reid International Airport minutes from most of the Valley
- A desert climate of hot summers, mild winters and a great deal of sun
- No Nevada state income tax
