Las Vegas New Mexico is a lovely town in San Miguel County, not to be confused with the popular Nevada resort town of the same name. The charming historic city is known for its beautiful northern New Mexico architecture and quaint Old Town Historic District, which is home to many bookstores, antique shops, cafes, and restaurants. More than 900 structures within the city are preserved on the National Register of Historic Places, many for their connection to the historic Santa Fe Trail. A number of outdoor recreational areas are located just minutes away, including the beautiful Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge, Lake McAllister, Storrie Lake State Park, and Montezuma Hot Springs. Visitors can also camp at the Gallinas River's many campgrounds, relax in the city's beautiful Plaza Park, or explore the City of Las Vegas Museum, which showcases local history exhibits.
