In the past, Las Vegas’ sole economic contribution was gaming and nightlife. Yet even before the Recession decreased consumer spending and made Las Vegas the biggest market in the nation for foreclosures, another industry was coming up through the ranks. The medical industry in Las Vegas has finally come into its own—the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) plans to graduate its first class of doctors as early as 2021, and the city expects more hospitals to open across town. In fact, it’s thought that medical careers will be the next hot job in Las Vegas—unsurprising when the largest employers in town, besides the resort casinos, are medical centers. To be near one of these booming medical centers, here are the Las Vegas neighborhoods you’ll want to live in.

Typical homes in Las Vegas

Downtown

UNLV plans to unveil the School of Medicine’s new campus, a $200 million space that will be the center of the Las Vegas Medical District. A 214-acre development, the medical district will be located near I-15 and West Charleston Boulevard and include partnerships with Valley Hospital Medical Center and UNLV. The area is already booming, and both commercial and real estate developers are eager to build near the new medical district.

Another partner with the medical district that already exists in Downtown is Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, a prominent branch of the respected clinic, which specializes in areas like neurology and neuropsychology. Not only is Lou Ruvo Center known for its unique exterior design, but it’s also considered a center of excellence by the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Henderson

Located on West Galleria Drive, Henderson Hospital is Henderson’s newest medical facility. The hospital sees over 46,000 ER visits, delivers 655 babies, and receives 7,800 admissions per year. The hospital has received awards and certifications from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The hospital recently opened a neonatal intensive care unit for premature newborns. Henderson Hospital is also currently hiring, so new residents to the area will have plenty of job options available.
