Description

West of the Las Vegas Strip, near the medical district, lies McNeil Estates, a stately Vintage Vegas residential neighborhood. Thick with mesquite trees, 1940s McNeil embodied the romance of the American west: generous lots, rambling ranch homes, and even roaming horses! Through the 1950s and 1960s, McNeil Estates grew to include "Cinderella" ranches and extravagant custom builds for city's elite businessmen and entertainers.
