The Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the Electric Daisy Festival
The biggest attraction of North Las Vegas is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located on the northeastern outskirts of the city. Throughout the year, it has drag races and the Nascar Racing Experience. “I did Richard Petty driving experience, it was an incredible adrenaline experience and a memory to last a lifetime,” Grambo says. The speedway also hosts the annual Electric Daisy Carnival in May. Welcoming over 400,000 people over the course of three days, it’s the largest EDM festival in the United States. Every winter the Glittering Lights event allows visitors to drive through elaborate Christmas light displays.

A rapidly growing suburb of Las Vegas, home to modern homes and shopping
Thomas L. Williams founded North Las Vegas in 1919, envisioning a pious community sheltered from the antics of Las Vegas. Unfortunately for Williams, Prohibition caused bootleggers to flock to his town, which had a system of tunnels leading to underground speakeasies. Today North Las Vegas still has a wild side, with casinos, festivals and a speedway. But its defining characteristic is rapid growth. “There are many newer communities. With more open land, there are more developments in North Las Vegas, including many new residential developments. Pricing tends to be less,” says Realtor Julia Grambo, who works with More Realty LLC and has over a decade of experience. Only about 10 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, North Las Vegas’ suburban sprawl expands day by day, with the latest homes and shopping centers spreading across the Mojave Desert. “We are a unique city in which much of the land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management. Land is very expensive, so you will see more attached properties and three-story developments. North Las Vegas also has dedicated 55-plus communities as well as proximity to the VA hospital," Grambo says. This has led to a steady stream of newcomers, increasing the city’s population from about 50,000 in 1990 to nearly 300,000 in 2024.

Broadacres Marketplace, Crossroads Towne Center and entertainment
The commercial areas in North Las Vegas continue to flourish. “The mayor has made it incredibly easy for businesses to come here, making the permit process relatively quick and easy. So with that growth, the housing community grows too,” Grambo says. There are big-box centers throughout the community, including the centrally located Craig Promenade, the south side College Park shopping mall and the north side Crossroads Towne Center. “There’s plenty of businesses and convenience; we’re big enough for a Costco,” Grambo says. North Las Vegas also has plenty of entertainment, from movie theaters to gambling. Its most popular casinos are the centrally located Cannery Casino and Aliante Casino Hotel Spa. Every Friday through Sunday, the Broadacres Marketplace flea market has over 1,000 vendors. Located in the southern part of the city, it features an array of food and antique sellers, plus entertainment like live music and carnival rides. North Las Vegas’ shopping and dining options will soon expand with the NLV Gateway Project, which aims to create a downtown hub. The project will be completed by 2026.

A 3-mile drive to downtown Las Vegas and more transportation
North Las Vegas is a car-dependent community. Via Las Vegas Boulevard, the city is about 3 miles from downtown Las Vegas. Some of the city’s biggest employers include North Vista Hospital and the Clark County School District. Many residents also work at the Nellis Air Force Base, which borders the city’s eastern side. “We get a lot of military that live off the base, but it’s a blend of everybody and 55-plus communities. There’s something for everybody,” Grambo says. For public transportation, the Regional Transportation Commission serves the community. The city has plans to expand a 70-mile trail network for recreation and for those who bike to work. The closest major airport is the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, located about 10 miles away.
Ice Age Fossils State Park, Craig Ranch Regional Park and more
Bordering the northern edge of North Las Vegas is an untouched desert landscape, with views of the Sheep Range and the Las Vegas Range. “We’re surrounded by mountains that will be snowcapped very soon. Because you don't have the bright lights of the main city of Las Vegas, you will see the stars in North Las Vegas. It's very peaceful,” Grambo says. Locals can experience the area’s natural beauty at the 300-acre Ice Age Fossils State Park, with three hiking trails in the city’s northwest corner. As an archeological site, the fossils of mammoths, camels and ground sloths have all been found here. Directly north of North Las Vegas, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge is the largest wildlife refuge in the contiguous United States. The Mojave Desert landscape features hiking, off-roading and wildlife like bighorn sheep and fennec foxes. The climate also contributes to a severe heat risk in the area, so those spending time outside should be careful, especially during the summer.
With over 30 municipal parks, North Las Vegas gives all residents proximity to outdoor recreation and events. The city’s most popular park is the 170-acre Craig Ranch Regional Park, centrally located within the community. The former golf course currently has an amphitheater, a large skate park and three dog parks. Its walking paths go around two duck ponds, ideal for spotting turtles and geese. Plus, Craig Ranch hosts celebrations throughout the year, including the Taco Festival, Pirate Fest and the Las Vegas Pride Festival. Another well-known recreation spot is the Shadow Creek Golf Course, an 18-hole course that is technically public but maintains an exclusive aura, with hotel guests during the week and invite-only players on the weekends.

There's more new construction in progress. “A large percentage of my business is in North Las Vegas. Clients desire to be near the VA hospital. There are so many new-build developments, plus affordability brings my first-time homebuyers," Grambo says.
