About Nelson

Located in Eldorado Canyon south of Las Vegas, Nelson is a tiny desert community with deep roots in Nevada's mining past. Once a booming gold and silver district, the area is now known for its rugged scenery, historic ghost-town charm, and easy access to the Colorado River. For anyone drawn to quiet, wide-open desert living, Nelson offers a peaceful lifestyle well off the beaten path.
