Where are the Largest Incomes in Las Vegas?

Henderson No Longer has the Highest Median Income

The southwest Las Vegas Valley now boasts the highest median household income in the region, according to a new report from Colliers.


Colliers' first-quarter apartment market report reveals that the median annual household income in the southwest valley reached $88,423, surpassing Henderson's $86,682. In the first quarter of 2023, these figures were $90,531 in the southwest and $92,356 in Henderson.


Jeffrey Swinger, an executive vice president for multifamily investment sales with Colliers International, noted the area's appeal to high-income workers. He described the southwest valley as a "hodgepodge," highlighting its unplanned nature and available land as key attractions for development, especially compared to fully developed areas like Green Valley and the distinct Summerlin.


Enterprise, covering most of the southwestern valley, is one of the nation's fastest-growing areas. It is developing a mix of commercial and residential projects on its available land within Clark County but outside the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson. Esri's population data shows Enterprise's growth rate is more than double that of the entire valley, increasing nearly 60% from 2010 to 2023, reaching 245,243 residents by the end of 2023. An additional 13,713 residents are expected by 2028.


Following the southwest and Henderson, Summerlin/The Lakes has the third-highest median household income at $78,395, and the northwest valley follows with $77,352. The northwest valley has the most households (125,400), followed by the southwest (103,800) and Summerlin/The Lakes (101,100). The University/The Strip submarket has the highest renter percentage at 79%, with the central valley at 68% and west Las Vegas at 61%.


Sunrise Manor/Northeast has the largest households, averaging 3.2 people per home, followed by North Las Vegas (3.1) and both the northwest and southwest (2.7). According to a recent SmartAsset report, a single adult needs to earn $94,432 annually, or $45.40 per hour, to live comfortably in Las Vegas.

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.

Las Vegas Parking Guide

May 27, 2025
If you’re a first-time visitor to Las Vegas, the idea of paying for parking might not be as big of a deal as it is to those of us who’ve been around for a while. Just a few years ago, it was practically unheard of to pay for parking on The Strip. Free parking was a standard expectation for both locals and casino guests alike. But times have changed, and many of the big casinos along the iconic Las Vegas Strip have started charging for parking. While we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not parking fees are justified (locals, we feel your pain), we’re here to guide you on where to park on the Las Vegas Strip. So, buckle up, and check out our list to see where you can park for free as a local! First three hours of self-parking are free for locals: • The Aria • The Bellagio • Caesar’s Palace • The Cosmopolitan • The Cromwell • The Excalibur • The Flamingo • The LINQ • Luxor • The MGM & Park MGM • Planet Hollywood • Wynn & the Encore Free Parking across the board • Rio • The Palms As a final tip when it comes to visiting the strip: Check and see if the casino does any sort of parking validation. A lot of times they will give you free parking if you spend a certain amount of money inside, are a guest (on a staycation) or are a certain tier level among their rewards programs. Remember, it never hurts to ask. If you're visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check with your hotel about whether parking and valet services are included when you book your room. It's a cost worth factoring into your trip planning!
