Henderson
From the lakeside resort setting of Lake Las Vegas to the walkable energy of The District and Water Street, Henderson blends polished master-planned communities with small-city character — and it’s home to the Raiders. Here’s what’s here and where to look.
Things to Do in Henderson
Dining, resort living, pro football, and wide-open outdoor space — all within a few minutes of home.
The District at Green Valley Ranch
A walkable, open-air town center with shops, restaurants, and a movie theater, with lofts and condos living right above it. The District is the social heart of Green Valley Ranch, with seasonal events and plenty of patio dining.
Green Valley Ranch Casino
A Station Casinos resort next to The District, with a full casino, spa, pool, and restaurants. Locals treat it as a go-to spot for dinner, entertainment, and hosting out-of-town guests.
Lake Las Vegas
A resort community built around a 320-acre private lake, with a marina, two golf courses, and Mediterranean-inspired architecture. Residents and visitors paddle, sail, dine lakeside, and hike the nearby Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
