2009

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We even had a small snow storm to give us a very small white Christmas. I was up at The Suncoast where we had dinner with friends. When we came out the snow was flying that was around 9:30 PM. I did not have my camera with me darn it. I wish each and every Summerlin resident a very Happy New Years!

While I am here let me remind you that you will be able to recycle your tree from Dec. 26th- Jan. 15th a drop site has been set up at the RC Wiley parking lot at 3850 South Town Center Drive the trees will then go to The Springs Preserve to be mulched up for all of our benefits.

More on the Summerlin Snow

December 16, 2008 By Chris Shouse

I could not resist driving all of the way to the top of Summerlin and take a couple more pictures. This is at the top of Charleston Blvd. and this road if you go on leads you into Red Rock Conservatory. Summerlin has a fantastic view of Red Rock Canyon. It is awesome with the red rocks, but is this not beautiful with the snow on it? I do love living in Summerlin.

Summerlin Snow

December 15, 2008 By Chris Shouse

In all of Las Vegas today Summerlin got the snow! It is very pretty and it makes me feel like Christmas is really almost here. I have lived in Summerlin for about 9 Years now and this is only the second time I have seen snow on the ground. Not only on the ground but it is sticking and staying and we are suppose to get even more on Wednesday. Too bad this did not happen next week and we would truly have a white Christmas. Up until the snow today I had been feeling a little hum-buggy. After all it is my mom and myself. My son and granddaughter live in South Carolina. We decided this year to take the money we would spend on each other and give to the Salvation Army. We also dug out all of our coats that have been packed away and gave them. ( Glad I saved one for me!) So we are lifting ourselves out of the non spirit to big spirit and I like it.

Summerlin Resident Crowned Miss Nevada

December 13, 2008 By Chris Shouse

Real Summerlin would like to congratulate Georgina Vaughan for winning the title of Miss Nevada. I am sure all of Summerlin will be supporting her as she competes for Miss USA this April. The pageant will be held at Planet Hollywood and of course is a joint venture between The Donald (Trump) and NBC Universal. Nevada has never won a Miss USA pageant and with our hometown Summerlin young women competing ( not only that she was born and raised in Las Vegas, a true Las Vegas native) I am sure all of Summerlin will be behind her, and cheering her on. It would be wonderful for her to bring the first Miss USA title to Nevada.

This is an amazing sell in the Summerlin Village of The Ridges. On October 3, 2008 a luxury home in the neighborhood of Promontory closed escrow for 11.5 million dollrs. In these economic times that is amazing. It is also the record setting sell for 2008 in Las Vegas. More amazing? It was an all cash transaction.

According to Larry Murphy CEO of Sales Traq a real estate research firm, “Summerlin set the standard for master-planned communities, not just here in Southern Nevada, but all across the United States.” He goes on to say, ” it only stands to reason that Summerlin’s most luxurious village, The Ridges is equally revered and desired. The records speak for themselves.”

The Ridges which is adjacent to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It has some of the most dramatic natural topography in Las Vegas. With its natual elevation there are awesome views of the Las Vegas Valley including the Las Vegas Strip.
