Las Vegas Springs Preserve, consisting of 180 acres (73 ha), opened on June 8, 2007, was built around the original water source for Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Springs.
The Preserve is located approximately three miles west of downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Gardens at the Preserve, previously known as the Desert Demonstration Gardens, opened in 1980 at another location. The gardens now occupy 8 acres (3.2 ha) within the Springs Preserve site.
Nevada State Museum on the site was opened in 2011.
The Preserve shows people how to live in the desert environment and how to take advantage of what is available. Part of this project showcases a dual use concept. For example, the parking area is actually the roof of the reservoir and the shade structures in various areas are photovoltaic cells used to generate power for the site.
The gardens also use a fleet of hydrogen powered utility vehicles. The vehicles are refueled on site by a solar powered hydrogen fueling station.
Besides colorful desert botanical gardens, museum galleries, the Springs Preserve also includes outdoor concert and event venues, an indoor theater, historic photo gallery and a series of walking trails that meander through a wetland habitat.
