The neighborhood

The 2023 county map shows seven planned spots on or around the UNLV campus: two at the Thomas & Mack Center plus athletics, gaming and housing spots. None has been officially announced. The map text doesn’t give exact positions, so the five non-arena spots share one campus-level pin.
Under construction now: the 4744 Paradise station, across from the Thomas & Mack Center, is one of three stations expected to open with the new Paradise tunnels; there’s no official opening date. See our Paradise & Harmon stations page.
Campus has the Barrick Museum, which is free, and the Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival is free at the nearby Clark County Library on Sat Nov 7.
