Sunrise Manor - Las Vegas, NV

Sunrise Manor is an unincorporated town that was formed in May of 1957 in North Las Vegas, an incorporated city that was first purchased and developed in the early 1900s. A Utah man named Tom Williams first discovered the area during a trip to Las Vegas. Unimpressed with the busy and energetic atmosphere of the newly incorporated Las Vegas, Williams ventured north and became enamored with the vast open spaces and potential for lucrative agriculture.

Tom purchased 160 acres of land and subdivided the area into 100 lots, selling each lot at $10 in 1919. In 1924, the town's first grocery store and post office were built. North Las Vegas was officially incorporated in 1946 and is home to the Neon Art Museum and the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, known for its Egyptian antiquities displays and annual Native American cultural events.

Sunrise Manor has a wide selection of restaurants within 5 miles of town, many of which are family-friendly and affordable. Geisha House Steak & Sushi, a local favorite, sits on North Decatur Boulevard. Geisha House features several grill tables where the chefs prepare delicious flaming dishes right in front of the patrons, which makes for great family entertainment. The restaurant serves a wide selection of meat and fish entrees, as well as several vegetarian options. A few local favorite dishes include the Sea Lover Special, a hearty meal of grilled shrimp, scallops and lobster, served with a choice of shrimp or vegetable tempura and a beverage choice of soda, wine or sake.

When locals want some authentic Mexican food, they often head over to Tacos Los Toritos on Nellis Boulevard. Try the rich and flavorful carne asada that comes seasoned to perfection or the tacos de asada mixed with chorizo for a spicy treat. The locals say to come hungry and you'll leave with a smile. The service is fast, the staff is friendly, and the prices won't make you flinch.

While many of the popular nightclubs are closer to the Las Vegas Strip, Sunrise Manor residents who prefer to stay a little closer to home can often be found at Mulligan's Bar & Grill on East Craig Road.

Regulars recommend the Frito Crunch burger, a custom-blended beef patty topped with house chili, Frito's corn chips, double cheese and red onions.
