Las Vegas Plaza, Historic district in Las Vegas, New Mexico.
The Las Vegas Plaza features a central square surrounded by nineteenth-century buildings, including the Plaza Hotel and Charles Ilfeld Building from 1882.
Established in 1835 by Mexican settlers, the plaza gained prominence as a key stop on the Santa Fe Trail before General Kearny claimed New Mexico for the United States in 1846.
The plaza transformed from a wagon parking area into a landscaped park in 1880, following the arrival of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
The district contains multiple registered historical structures, with the Plaza Hotel offering accommodations and Byron T's restaurant serving meals to visitors.
The first reunion of Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders occurred at the Plaza Hotel in 1899, marking a significant moment in the district's military connections.
