Old Las Vegas Mormon State Park 500 E. Washington Ave. Las Vegas, NV 89101 Phone: (702) 486-3511 URL: parks.nv.gov/olvmf.htm The first permanent non-native settlers in the Las Vegas Valley were a group of Mormon missionaries who built an adobe fort along Las Vegas Creek in 1855. They successfully farmed the area by diverting water from the creek. Today, the park includes a remnant of the original adobe fort, which serves as a visitor center with interpretive displays |
