There are many reasons to live in or visit Las Vegas and San Miguel County.  

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.

​

The Las Vegas/San Miguel Chamber of Commerce invites you to come visit our local museums, explore our eclectic architecture, peruse the shops along historic Bridge Street, dine on unique local cuisine, enjoy our great outdoors, engage in our many special events, and view the numerous Hollywood film locations—all under bright, blue New Mexico skies and fresh mountain air.  You will not be disappointed in our authenticity, rich history, and exemplary seasonal weather.
