"The John S. Park Neighborhood was the first Las Vegas residential community listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The general boundaries of the John S. Park Historic District are Las Vegas Boulevard and South Ninth Street to the west and east, and Charleston Boulevard and Franklin Avenue to the north and south, respectively. Baby boomers that grew up there include city leaders, county commissioners, and governors.

"Adjacent to the area where the early city’s water supply spewed up from the earth, these neighborhoods have held their charm and housed legends. Well known communities in this area include Artesian Heights, Glen Heather, McNeil, the Palominos, the Ranchos, Scotch Eighties, and Westleigh. Some families can trace generations who live in these neighborhoods. We learn why and begin to understand why these prestigious neighborhoods are now being included in the "new downtown" demographic."
