Vegas Valley Four Wheelers (VV4W) was created over 33 years ago, making them the oldest 501(c)(3) nonprofit off-roading club, and today boasts over 120 members and their families. Members come together to take their 4×4’s out on the many trails around Vegas and surrounding areas. Most runs are arranged by an individual club member, but they also have an annual club event designed to attract out-of-state 4×4’ers, and it’s called the Hump ‘N’ Bump. It is held in Logandale, Nevada, which is approx 45 miles outside of Las Vegas. The dates for this event normally fall on the 1st weekend of November each year.
They also do our part for the community, including working with Partners in Conservation, Blue Ribbon Coalition, Utah Public Lands (UPLA), Treadlighty, BLM, and US Forestry Service.

The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA) is a nationally recognized, award-winning magnet high school, serving approximately 1,720 students in Clark County, Nevada. Located in the center of the Las Vegas Founders District, LVA serves students from throughout the district in grades 9-12. LVA provides students the opportunity to pursue a conservatory in the areas of dance, music, theater, or visual arts within which majors are available in band, vocal music, dance, guitar, international studies (French, Japanese, and Spanish), mariachi, orchestra, photography, piano, studio art, technical theatre, theatre, visual design, and world jazz studies. The four conservatories, previously considered majors, were updated in 2017 as an effort to emphasize the academy’s focus on the arts. All students must meet certain criteria for acceptance: completing an application, auditioning in their chosen performing major, preparing a portfolio, and taking an aptitude test.
LVA offers students intellectually challenging learning experiences and empowers them with the 21st-century skills and knowledge to compete successfully in the international workplace. LVA is a FIVE-STAR school according to the Nevada School Accountability System and boasts a 100% graduation rate. LVA offers more Advanced Placement exams than any other CCSD school.

The founding of the Las Vegas Natural History Museum stemmed from the realization of a tremendous need in the community for a museum promoting an appreciation and understanding of global life forms, past and present.
In February 1989, a small group of concerned citizens requested that the Las Vegas City Council assist in finding a home for a pre-existing collection of wildlife and prehistoric exhibits. The City of Las Vegas purchased a building, located in the center of a proposed Cultural Corridor, to house the Museum. This building is leased for one dollar a year; however, the museum is responsible for renovations, upkeep, and operations.
With the assistance of local businesses and private individuals, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum opened its doors in July 1991, exhibiting a varied collection of wildlife and prehistoric exhibits on loan. Since then, the Museum has obtained its own multi-million dollar, world-class collection, and created an exciting and interactive learning experience.
From the desert to the ocean, from Nevada to Africa, from prehistoric times to the present, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum takes young and old alike on a learning adventure around the world.

Prior to opening its doors in a new location at Symphony Park and with a new name, the DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, Lied Discovery Children’s Museum was located in the historic Cultural Corridor in Downtown Las Vegas. The museum’s co-founders, Robin Greenspun and Mark Tratos, arranged a partnership between the Junior League of Las Vegas and the Allied Arts Council founding a private, nonprofit educational institution in 1984. A bond issue authorizing the building of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library and Discovery Museum in 1985 gave the museum a permanent home, which opened its doors to the public on September 9, 1990.
Over the years, the museum developed into a critical community asset that complemented and enhanced the educational experience of the children living in Southern Nevada and was regularly recognized for award-winning exhibits and programs. More than 2.2 million children and adults visited the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum.
Realizing a years-long relocation plan, the new museum opened March 9, 2013 in the Donald W. Reynolds Discovery Center adjacent to The Smith Center in Symphony Park. Much more than just the relocation of the current museum, the new museum helps redefine Las Vegas as a city that values culture and the arts, an urban lifestyle and, most importantly, its children. Three-stories tall in stature, the DISCOVERY Children’s Museum 58,000-square-foot building is home to nine-themed exhibition halls totaling 26,000 square feet of interactive hands-on core exhibits. The 5,000 square foot Featured Exhibitions Gallery is large enough to accommodate major exhibits from the nation’s leading museums. The new location is a safe, easily accessible, family-oriented and energetic educational destination that offers visitors extraordinary learning experiences and enhanced school, public and extended programs.

Founded in 1997, Somerset Academy opened its’ first school in Miramar, Florida, with a population of just 50 students in grades Kindergarten through Five. The multi-age, multi-level classrooms were the basis for the Somerset Academy elementary school philosophy and concept and have proven to be a successful innovation.
Opening as an affiliate of the Somerset System, a SACS-CASI accredited institution, Somerset Academy of Las Vegas will implement the same best practices and commit to meet the same standards and quality indicators, which make them eligible to pursue and receive accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Such commitment to implement best practices and quality standards have proven effective in raising student achievement annually for all student populations.
The proposed School is a replication of the Somerset Academy Charter School Instructional Model, which has yielded over 20 high performing charter school programs in grades K-12 throughout the states of Florida and Texas. Somerset Academy has developed a multi-tier system (management, assessment and instruction and professional development) that integrates technology within the core curriculum and achieves increased performance across all student populations and subgroups.
Somerset Academy has been able to implement unique and innovative strategies aimed at student achievement and has proven these strategies to be successful with all student populations. Thus, having the combination of experience and a demonstrated track record of success with its programs, Somerset Academy will thereby assist Somerset Academy of Las Vegas to promote increased student achievement for the students it expects to serve.
