Located in San Miguel County between the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, historic Las Vegas, New Mexico is a hidden gem of a small town with a rich and unusual history, as well as a bright future. Located an hour’s drive north of Santa Fe, Las Vegas offers a unique mixture of old Spanish culture, Wild West history, and a thriving arts and cultural scene.
