Centennial Hills has a democratic origin story: its name was chosen by public vote in 2001, defeating "Arrow Canyon," "Tule Springs," and the mayor's personal pick "Cielo de Oro" with 2,222 votes — a community that literally voted itself into existence. At 3,000 feet elevation, it runs several degrees cooler than the valley floor, making Las Vegas summers genuinely livable. The ancient credentials run deep: Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs, a 2,040-acre preserve bordering the community, holds fossil evidence of mammoths, camels, and bison that roamed here 11,000+ years ago, and Centennial Hills Park features ice-age fossil-themed trails over an actual ancient inverted riverbed. You can jog where a woolly mammoth once wandered. Beyond the prehistoric commute, residents enjoy 18-mile Strip access via fast freeways, top-rated Centennial and Arbor View high schools, Gilcrease Orchard's 60-acre pick-your-own farm next door, and Red Rock Canyon minutes west. People who move to Centennial Hills tend to stay — and that's usually the best endorsement a neighborhood can get.
