Las Vegas (NM) Travel Information
Las Vegas, New Mexico (pop 15,000) is the alter ego to the city
sharing its same name in Nevada. Visitors to the New Mexican Las
Vegas will find no casinos & bright lights, but rather a flourishing
artist community along the Gallinas River, situated at the junction
between the Rocky Mountains and the eastern plains. Steeped in
frontier history, Las Vegas is currently going through a
revitalization as the historic buildings downtown are renovated and
once boarded up storefronts are again alive with new businesses. Due
to its prime geographical location, Las Vegas offers its visitors a
good amount of recreational opportunity, with options ranging from
hiking and fishing to biking and skiing. Las Vegas offers
accommodation options ranging from historic hotels to widely known
national motel chains, so all visitors should be able to find
something to meet their taste and budget. Dining options in Las Vegas
are good, with Mexican, New Mexican and American establishments the
norm, dishing up filling and satisfying grub to tired & hungry
travelers and recreationalists. Las Vegas is best accessed via
I-25 from Colorado to the North and Santa Fe to the south. To learn
