Lakeview

Despite its “Sin City” reputation, Las Vegas has a huge personality that goes well beyond the glimmering neon of the Strip. In fact, many of the Strip’s most famous landmarks are actually outside of the Las Vegas city limits in Paradise, Nevada. The City of Las Vegas tends to be much more subdued overall, mainly comprised of residential neighborhoods and an exceptional selection of golf courses and country clubs. The community’s bike-friendly configuration has earned national recognition, and parents are able to choose between dozens of excellent public schools in the area. Outdoor exploration is always close at hand, with Lake Mead to the east and Red Rock Canyon to the west. The local arts and culture scene incorporates the glossy entertainment of the Strip, fine arts like ballet and classical music, and a hip local creative community.
