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 move of the Raiders to Las Vegas, the city now has 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 other destinations in the
world.

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
