ABOUT THE COMMUNITY: UNLV is located in the vibrant and growing
city of Las Vegas, a metropolitan area that boasts one of the most
connected airports in the world. Las Vegas hosts over 41 million
tourists per year, accommodates over 22,000 conventions and is home
to fifteen of the world’s 25 largest hotels. The Las Vegas
Metropolitan area has a population of over 2.1 million people, yet
has a relatively low cost of living compared to other metropolitan
areas of its size. With the addition of the Golden Knights hockey
team, and the planned move of the Raiders to Las Vegas, the city
will have two professional sports teams. Referred to as the
“Entertainment Capital of the World” very few cities can compete
with the number, size and quality of conventions, events, concerts
and shows that Las Vegas hosts. With the opening of the Smith
Center for Performing Arts, Las Vegas now offers some of the
world’s finest Broadway shows and concerts. The Las Vegas
dining culture is world-class, and includes restaurants run by
well-known chefs such as Gordon Ramsey, Bobby Flay, Wolfgang Puck
and Emeril Lagasse. Las Vegas also offers a shopping experience
that rivals any top destination in the world.
Faculty members generally live in thriving Las Vegas master-planned
communities known for their beautiful parks, miles of jogging and
bike trails, and more sunshine than almost any other city in the
United States. Las Vegas is near the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Mount
Charleston, and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and
within comfortable driving distances of other metropolitan areas
such as Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City.
Attractions such as Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell,
and the Grand Canyon are within easy driving distances as well. Las
Vegas is also a world famous golf destination.
