What is it like to live in Las Vegas?

August 22, 2025 | Categories:

There is so much to Las Vegas beyond the Strip. BMI recommends the free CityCast Las Vegas podcast, sites like TheList.Vegas, and program listings at The Writer’s Block and The Beverly Theater for a sense of what locals do in town. There are amazing opportunities to hike, both within 30 minutes of downtown and also a day-trip away. There are cultural resources like the Neon Museum and Springs Preserve, and a robust public library system, in addition to the galleries, museums, and libraries on the UNLV campus. We encourage potential applicants to learn about our unique city as they consider applying for BMI fellowships.
