Local healthcare landscape in Las Vegas
Las Vegas concentrates academic medicine in the Las Vegas Medical District, which the city places in its Downtown South area, south of Charleston between I-15 and Maryland Parkway. University Medical Center, Valley Hospital Medical Center and the UNLV School of Dental Medicine anchor the district, and the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV opened its first permanent building there. Away from the district, the city's own neighborhood guide says Las Vegas is more than the Strip and divides the city into areas such as Downtown Las Vegas, Rancho, Lone Mountain, Centennial Hills and two Summerlin areas, one described as suited to families, professionals and retirees. Spring Valley, by contrast, is an unincorporated town administered by Clark County.
