Las Vegas has always been known for its glitz, glitter and gaming.  But we have so much more to offer!  A team 15 high tech companies have joined forces to develop The LINQ360 Innovation Center, with headquarters located in the master planned community of Summerlin.  The LINQ360 Innovation Center is home to various technology companies that address the needs of Las Vegas’ huge resort/hotel industry.

The design of the LINQ360 building is quite unique – it has an open-display, convention center-like feel.  Each vendor has its own booth, with displays that offer a hands-on experience.  One of the displays is an actual hotel room, where clients can see future technology and how it will improve guests’ hotel experiences.

Las Vegas Loves Summerlin!

For those of us who have been involved in the real estate industry in Las Vegas, we have appreciated the continuous success of the master planned community of Summerlin.  Summerlin was the concept of the Howard Hughes Corp, with development that began 20 years ago.  Summerlin’s master planned community model is one of the most successful in the country, for many good reasons.   Summerlin has won the award of “best selling master planned community in the country” for several years, and for good reason.

Summerlin’s Success

Summerlin has always emphasized recreational activities and outdoor facilities, having taken resident surveys to find out what is most important to its residents.  Of the 22,500 acres, Summerlin has 18 paks, several ball fields, tennis courts, swimming pools, community centers, miles of biking and hiking trails and other outdoor facilities.  These facilities fall under the oversight of the Summerlin Council, which serves as an umbrella over the 3 dependent associations that comprise the Summerlin villages.  There are also 3 independent associations that include Sun City Summerlin, Red Rock Country Club and Siena.  Sun City Summerlin and Siena are age-qualified communities, with golf courses and recreational activities for active adults. 

Summerlin Community Events

Annual art fairs, holiday celebrations, golf tournaments, cultural events and sporting events all contribute to the Summerlin lifestyle.  Summerlin is expected to be home to approximately 200,000 residents when the community is fully developed.  Home prices range from the $200,000′s to several millions.  There are new homes, resale homes, townhomes, condominiums and custom homesites within Summerlin.  If you would like more information about the fastest growing master planned community in the country, call Las Vegas Properties at 1-888-876-8383 or email terrilvp@cox.net.
