The Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Center has enhanced the master-planned community’s cultural and educational amenities since it opened in 1993. The library houses more than 130,000 books, movies and music compact discs. It also includes a 291-seat theater, an art gallery, a conference room that accommodates as many as 40 people, three study rooms, two courtyards, and a story room. The art gallery, which is located off the main foyer, features six exhibits each year showcasing contemporary and classic art and photography from area residents. Summerlin ranked as the country’s best-selling master-planned community for much of the last decade, according to independent surveys. It is being developed in villages along the valley’s western rim and is home to more than 100 neighborhood and village parks, more than 100 miles of trails, houses of worship, shopping centers, medical facilities, business parks and nearly 100 model homes. Some of the finest Las Vegas real estate can be found in this section of the Las Vegas valley.
