UNLV is located in the first-class destination of Las Vegas, Nevada – a superb location in the southwest with approximately 300 days of sunshine a year. Minutes away from the fabulous Las Vegas Strip, our students enjoy convenient access to some of the best dining and entertainment in the world. There is also life beyond the Strip! Students can take advantage of our local outdoor recreation, such as kayaking on Lake Mead, hiking in Red Rock Canyon, and skiing at Mount Charleston.
