Book Hotels in Blue Diamond, NV

Blue Diamond is a quaint rural community just to the southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Once called Cottonwood Springs, the village's name was changed when the Blue Diamond Company purchased the nearby gypsum mine in which many residents worked. With less than 1,000 residents, this former stop along the Old Spanish Trail trade route is a peaceful getaway for anyone needing a breather from the glitz and glam of the Las Vegas Strip. Book one of the resorts in Blue Diamond and explore the natural splendor of the nearby parks and the village's fascinating local history.
