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.
