About Summerlin South
Summerlin South, also seen on maps as South Summerlin, is an unincorporated township, in Clark County, Nevada, United States, on the western edge of Las Vegas and adjacent to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is so named because it is a southward extension of the master-planned community of Summerlin. As of the 2000 census, Summerlin South's population was 3,735, with an estimated population in 2005 of 20,474.
As of 2003, Summerlin South does not actually have a town hall or any of the
other trappings of government; services are handled by the county. In fact, it
is mostly empty land. Part of the empty land is Blue Diamond Hill, the current
site of a gypsum mine which was bought to be developed into a large housing
development facing Red Rock. However, public opposition by the residents of Blue
Diamond and other Las Vegans, joined by Nevada Senator Harry Reid, has so far
blocked the project.
The Summerlin South Community Association is the main governmental entity of the
area – it is a homeowners association for the entire township. It is the only
unincorporated town in the Las Vegas Valley that does not have a town advisory
board.
