Start the day with an early morning hike at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which frames the western edge of Summerlin, providing residents with immediate access to world-class hiking, rock climbing and an ideal cycling destination — not to mention Red Rock’s stunning views and spectacular sunsets.

Head on over to Grand Park village, one of the community’s newest villages, located west of the 215 Beltway and south of Lake Mead Boulevard, surrounded by the beauty of the La Madre Peaks Mountain range. With neighborhoods arrayed around an expansive 90-acre under-development by the same name — Grand Park — the village is teeming with new home options in five neighborhoods offering 34 unique floor plans, including single-story homes and townhomes priced from the high $300,000s to more than $1.5 million: Caldwell Park by KB Home; Shawood at Arcadia; Ashland by Taylor Morrison; Alton by KB Home; and Edgewood by Tri Pointe Homes.

Next up is Explorer Park in the district of Redpoint Square, which features a celestial canopy inspired by nighttime constellations. Here, you can visit two new neighborhoods offering seven unique townhome floor plans featuring a low-maintenance lifestyle and priced from the high $400,000s to the $600,000s: Cordillera by Toll Brothers and Vertex by Tri Pointe Homes.

After a full morning, stop for lunch at Downtown Summerlin, the vibrant and walkable urban core in Summerlin that features more than 30 unique eateries and restaurants, along with more than 100 stores and boutiques, entertainment options and professional sports.

Once fully fueled, head northwest to the scenic village of Reverence and the adjacent Kestrel and Kestrel Commons districts, where visitors can tour seven new neighborhoods offering 30 floor plans in a range of single-family and townhomes options, priced from the mid-$400,000s to more than $900,000: Monument by Pulte Homes; Mockingbird by Lennar; Nighthawk by KB Home; Vireo by Woodside Homes; Raven Crest by Toll Brothers; Quail Cove by KB Home; and Lark Hill by Taylor Morrison. Here, exploring Summerlin’s new multi-modal and urban trails is also an option. These new trails better accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists to make getting around safer and more comfortable.

Take an afternoon break to recharge with golf or spa options. Summerlin is home to more than 10 golf courses, including a daily-fee, public golf option at TPC Las Vegas, one of two Tournament Players Club courses in Summerlin, and the only two in Nevada. Or visit the luxurious spa at Red Rock Casino, Resort &Spa.

Before ending the day at the award-winning Las Vegas Ballpark, home of the Las Vegas Aviators of the Pacific Coast League and affiliate of the Athletics, for a night of baseball fun and dozens of delicious food and beverage options for all palates, stop by The Peaks village, where the Ascension neighborhood, built by Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers, offers 20 luxurious single-family home floor plans in a mix of single- and two-story elevations, priced from approximately $1.2 to more than $2 million.
