It's a wonderful opportunity we hope valley residents will enjoy."

"From swanky dining and spa options to tennis lessons, cooking classes and cultural events, Summerlin truly has it all," Liesse said.

A calendar of events is included online including Ragnar Relay, RTC Viva Bike Vegas, the Justin Timberlake Shiners Hospital for Children Open at TPC Summerlin, the Summerlin Desert Clean-up, Red Rock Make a Difference Day and other social, recreational and educational events.
