East Las Vegas

Whitney, previously known as East Las Vegas, is an unincorporated town tucked away in Clark County of Nevada.

The town’s history goes back to the early 20th century when Stowell Whitney bought a large ranch in the region.

The town was then established in 1931 following the ranch’s subdivision and the opening of the first post office a year later. The town’s name was later changed to East Las Vegas after the town’s residents signed a petition for the name change. In 1993 however, the town’s original name was reinstated.

The town’s growth and development at the turn of the 21st century offered an opportunity for investors in the town’s numerous housing developments. Today, the town continues to attract visitors keen on exploring its many attractions.

One of Whitney’s most iconic landmarks is the Sam Boyd Stadium, which was previously known as the Silver Bowl. The stadium is home to the UNLV Rebels football team and is a key venue for sports tournaments. Visitors looking for the ultimate sporting experience can enjoy VIP suites alongside an incredible catering menu for an unforgettable game.
