Centennial Hills blends suburban tranquility with mountain views and modern amenities in northwest Las Vegas. This master-planned community features top-rated schools, expansive parks including the 680-acre Floyd Lamb Park, and over 150 miles of walking trails while maintaining easy access to both the Strip and Red Rock Canyon.
Centennial Hills wasn't always called Centennial Hills—in fact, it won its name in a 2001 contest where it beat out "Arrow Canyon," "Tule Springs," and the mayor's pick "Cielo de Oro" with 2,222 votes. Democracy in action! The community sits at about 3,000 feet elevation, giving residents cooler temperatures than the valley floor and epic views of the Spring Mountains to the west and Sheep Mountains to the east. Here's something you won't find anywhere else: Centennial Hills Park features ice age fossil-themed trails built around an actual historic inverted riverbed. That's right—you can jog where ancient rivers once flowed, and possibly where mammoths once roamed (though we can't guarantee you'll see any mammoths today). The neighborhood is also home to Centennial Hills Hospital, which made history as Nevada's first tobacco-free campus when it opened in 2008. And if you're into prehistoric wonders, just north of Centennial Hills lies Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, where you can literally walk among fossils from the Ice Age. It's like Jurassic Park, but with better weather and no raptors!
