Honoring Southern Nevada history and architecture through a diverse array of programs, the four-day festival features over 40 immersive experiences and special events led by local historians including guided tours, educational seminars, community events, scenic drives, cocktail parties, and speaker presentations that transport participants to the Vegas of yesteryear while offering unique insights into its architectural transformation – from a small railroad town to a growing, modern city.

Through engaging tours, events, and storytelling, Home + History Las Vegas not only commemorates our past but also inspires future generations to preserve our state’s rich heritage.”

Some of the festival’s most revered historic neighborhoods include the Scotch 80s, born from a deal between Las Vegas’s first mayor and a Scottish investor, featuring stunning architectural styles from sprawling modern ranch homes to Colonial-Revival mansions. The Historic John S. Park neighborhood takes center stage in the Stroll through the Decades Walking Tour which highlights the rich community history of Las Vegas and showcases popular residential architectural styles from the 1920s through the 1970s.

The Underground Celebrity Icons of Las Vegas Bus Tour includes a star-studded mid-century modern neighborhood designed by Palmer and Krisel and concludes with a guided tour of an underground mansion featured in movies, TV shows, and music videos.
