Las Vegas
Las Vegas itself, in addition to offering 4.2 miles of unending entertainment also provides many opportunities for living and residing close to work and recreation. Some dense suburban residential areas as well as affluent master-planned communities such as The Lakes offer an affluent lifestyle with spacious homes and luxurious amenities. Of course, living this close to the Strip makes for an easy commute to the city of Paradise and downtown Las Vegas. While the idea of living in Las Vegas proper may seem absurd, the Strip and its attractions make up only a small portion of the city. Living there not only affords proximity to the city, it also provides its residents with many other off-Strip amenities like highly rated schools, parks and recreation, as well as its convenient location to nearby Harry Reid International Airport.

The Strip
The Strip is the entertainment capital of the world. As the urban core of the Las Vegas Valley, it features a variety of hotel high-rises as well as residential and retail developments.

With plenty of perks like views of the nearby mountains, golf courses, or radiant sunsets, these high-rise residences are even more appealing when you factor in the conveniences of concierge services, private entrances, and underground parking that most of them afford. Living in the sky above the city is a breathtaking experience and the all-night attractions on the ground can make these residences very appealing considering the world-class dining, exclusive shopping, and all of the other culturally rich activities there are just a few feet outside your front door; from art galleries to street performers to concerts by world-renowned musicians and artists, the list is endless.
