Just uploaded a new Vegas history video — this time we’re digging into the origins of Summerlin, and how Howard Hughes accidentally set the foundation for one of the most successful master-planned communities in Nevada.
In the 1960s, Hughes quietly purchased nearly 25,000 acres of raw desert on the west side of the valley. Decades later, that land evolved into Summerlin — a community he never lived to see completed, but one that still carries his legacy today. From empty sand and wild burros to one of the most desirable places to live in Las Vegas, it’s a story most people have never heard in full.
If you’re into Vegas development history, forgotten land deals, or Howard Hughes lore, you’ll enjoy this one.
