Plaza Hotel, Las Vegas NM

The Plaza Hotel, in Las Vegas, New Mexico, dubbed "The Belle of the Southwest" when it was built in 1882, presides regally over the Old Town Plaza in Las Vegas, New Mexico… the other Las Vegas. (The original Las Vegas.) Seemingly suspended in time, historic Las Vegas, NM is about the same size it was when Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders held their first reunion at the Plaza Hotel in 1899. The Old Town Plaza tops Bridge Street where shops supply almost every need, from toys to books to custom jewelry to antiques to original art and much more. The Plaza Hotel, Las Vegas NM is one of the most beautifully restored New Mexico Hotels!
