Start of New Mexico 518
To the east is I-25. To the south on 7th St are Old Las Vegas Plaza, The Old Rail Road District, New Mexico State University - Highlands, and NM 104. To the west is the United World College. Las Vegas New Mexico -'Where the Great Plains Meet the Mighty Rockies'- was first settled about 1835 and by 1880 was the largest community in New Mexico. It was the first taste of civilization that teamsters and mountain men came to after 700 miles of Santa Fe Trail and it grew into a major center of commerce. Most of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders were from this area and they held their first reunion with TR at the Castenada Hotel less than one mile from here.
