Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area provides a dramatic backdrop to the community.
Located just 12 minutes from downtown Las Vegas, Summerlin is taking shape along the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley, adjacent to the Spring Mountain Range and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. These impressive surroundings provide a dramatic backdrop for the entire community. Because of Summerlin's geographic location and higher elevation, the community enjoys slightly cooler temperatures and a wider range of naturally-occurring desert vegetation that significantly adds to the area's beauty.
Tournament Players Club at The Canyons is one of Nevada's only two TPC courses. Both TPC golf courses are located in Summerlin.
