Summerlin, Nevada
Master-planned suburbia where desert meets design in Las Vegas's carefully orchestrated western edge.
Strip malls and palm-lined boulevards unfold across the Mojave with mathematical precision, each neighborhood themed like a movie set. This is suburbia as performance art—where hiking trails thread between golf courses and chain restaurants occupy buildings designed to look like Mediterranean villas.
