CCHP's Mission is: To preserve, protect and promote the historic, cultural, and architectural heritage of greater Las Vegas through education and advocacy, and to encourage economic development through restoration and rehabilitation.
The architecture of Las Vegas reflects snapshots of its eras of development. The city has nine National Register historic districts, containing 200 “significant” structures and nearly 500 “contributing” structures. About 200 are listed “noncontributing.” Not every structure in an historic district has a designation. The rich historical legacy of Las Vegas is one of its greatest assets, but the responsibility of preserving this heritage carries with it great costs. Decades of economic stagnation have left the City with limited resources to preserve the physical, social, and cultural components that define the City’s historic spirit and character.
