In 2005 Las Vegas was designated a MainStreet Community under the umbrella of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Main- Street Las Vegas Corridor stretches from the 1898 Railroad Depot in the east, through New Town along Douglas Avenue, and west to Plaza Park. It was defined by the historic route taken by horse drawn trolleys which ran from 1881 until 1901 when electric trolleys were introduced. The Corridor encompasses three historic commercial districts, each one listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two historic hotels, twelve restaurants, and 110 independent businesses welcome the visitor to a unique and authentic shopping and dining experience.
We gladly welcome you
