Old Vegas was an amusement park at 2440 South Boulder Highway in Henderson, Nevada, located in the Las Vegas Valley. The park's theme was American Old Western, modeled after 1850s Las Vegas. The site included various amusement rides and a replica of Las Vegas' Old Mormon Fort, which contained the Hondo Casino. As of 1979, the casino accounted for half of Old Vegas. The park also featured several relocated buildings from the former El Rancho Vegas hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The Eureka Locomotive was also on display at the park during the 1980s. Old Vegas was developed as a sister property to Old Tucson, a similar theme park in Arizona. Old Vegas was approved by the Henderson City Council in January 1975, and construction was underway in 1977. Old Vegas opened the first of two phases in November 1978, with more than 100 employees. The park briefly closed for alterations during 1979, following its sale to television producer Burt Sugarman and Mexican industrialist Gabriel Alarcon Jr. Sugarman and Alarcon reopened the park under the name Westworld, although the park reverted to its original name later that year. Sugarman and Alarcon applied for a gaming license to continue operating Old Vegas' casino, although Alarcon was denied a license because of state investigators' inability to adequately trace the source of his money. Construction of a second phase began in July 1980, and was completed later that year. The park closed in 1986 for remodeling, but was never reopened. During the 1990s, there were plans to add three hotel-casinos on the site, but none materialized. Old Vegas was demolished in 1997, and a 631-unit housing subdivision, also named Old Vegas, was approved for the land in 2001.

KLSQ (870 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Spanish sports radio format. Licensed to Whitney, Nevada, it serves the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The station is owned by the Latino Media Network. Under a local marketing agreement (LMA), it is programmed by previous owner TelevisaUnivision's Uforia Audio Network. By day, KLSQ is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional.

The transmitter is south of Mission Hills Park in Henderson.

Railroad Pass, 2,367 ft (721.46 m), is a mountain pass through the Black Hills of the River Mountains in the southeastern portion of the city of Henderson, Nevada, which is part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Traversed by the Union Pacific Railroad's Boulder City spur of the Henderson branch line and by the Boulder Highway (US 93/US 95), the pass connects Henderson with Boulder City. In 1998, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) paved over the at-grade crossing of the railroad tracks on Boulder Highway. The sharp skew angle (64 degrees) at this junction, high speeds on the highway, and little to no rail usage made this dangerous crossing a prime candidate for elimination. However, the historical significance of this rail spur and future potential for use by excursion and/or commuter trains merited its preservation. The initial phase of NDOT's Boulder City Bypass project will result in a new grade separation of the highway by 2015, allowing the rails to be reconnected so trains can once again reach Boulder City via Railroad Pass, As of April 10, 2018 the grade separation was complete, effectively allowing trains to reach Henderson.The Railroad Pass Hotel/Casino, is sited along Boulder Highway on the south side of the pass. Opened in 1931, it is one of the oldest casinos still operating in Nevada.
