During the 2025 RHPBA Convention / Reunion, several spouses organized a spouses’ event at the Springs Preserve (Springs Preserve Homepage), commonly known as the “birthplace of Las Vegas.”

The Springs Preserve is an 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas’ dynamic history.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the site features museums, galleries, outdoor events, a colorful botanical garden, and an interpretive trail system.
