Living In
VEGAS

Las Vegas is home to several vibrant suburbs and master-planned communities, each offering unique amenities and lifestyles.

Known as the brightest city on Earth when viewed from space, Las Vegas owes much of its glow to the Luxor’s iconic spotlight. The Strip uses 5,600 megawatts of electricity daily, and not all of this power comes from the Hoover Dam, as commonly believed. There are over 12,000,000 lightbulbs illuminating the Strip. Several hotels are committed to minimizing their environmental impact and have earned LEED certification, including the Waldorf Astoria, Aria, and Vdara located in CityCenter, as well as the Mandalay Bay, which boasts an extensive solar energy system on its rooftop. Many water features, such as fountains and man-made lakes, utilize gray water recycled from sinks and bathtubs.(Figures per NV Energy and Las Vegas tourism data, 2025.)

Las Vegas is also home to a massive share of the world’s elite luxury resorts, offering endless opportunities to explore shows, restaurants, and attractions to complete your bucket list.
