Mayor’s Message

Welcome to your city, the city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is a beautiful place to live. I often hear from visitors who marvel at our incredible, consistent blue sky and warm weather, but when I do, I always think that they should come back to Las Vegas in the fall when the leaves are changing and our temperatures are lovely.

Fall is a great season to enjoy the outdoors and visit our parks with their many amenities. We have options for everyone regardless of their choice each of which mirrors our energetic city and its varied population. Our population has created a tapestry of offerings that reflect our community’s uniqueness with an array of services, events and proof the many cultures, nationalities, religions, races and interests of our residents. Because of a wonderful quality of life we enjoy, we wanted to create a simple guide that allows for finding and exploring all that we offer. That is exactly what the Discover Las Vegas Guide provides.

Please take a few minutes to look through this publication and find the activities that are right for you and your family. We offer sports and activities for all ages as well as an array of cultural programming, with concerts, festivals, art classes and poetry readings. Or maybe you would like to reserve a picnic pavilion at one of our more than 70 parks or find a playground or walking trail?

This publication, along with our website www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Discover, serves as resource guides to help you connect to community services. It’s all here for you as you discover Las Vegas!
