The Las Vegas City Council added Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs to the city’s historic register on Jan. 9, 2008. The historic park is located at 9200 Tule Springs Road in the Centennial Hills area of the city. The city’s Historic Preservation Commission deemed it eligible for its association with a significant phase of Nevada history (that of the divorce ranch era) and its integrity of architectural and environmental setting.  
Tule Springs was originally named for the thick growth of tules, or cattails, at the location and became a stop on the stage line connecting Las Vegas and the Bullfrog District in the early 1900’s. John Herbert (Bert) Nay, the son of Mormon pioneers, first filed for water rights to the springs in 1916.  
The ranch was a headquarters for bootleggers during the 1920s until the repeal of Prohibition. The property was sold in 1941 to Prosper Jacob Goumond who expanded the ranch to 880 acres and raised cattle and alfalfa.  
By 1949, the ranch was outfitted to accommodate paying guests by adding several features to promote the rustic ranch experience such as a foot bridge, fish pond, water wheel and swimming pool. Many of the guests were soon-to-be divorcees, spending the required six weeks in Nevada until their divorces became final. 
The ranch offered a variety of activities including skeet shooting, horseback riding, barbecues, hayrides, swimming and tennis. The promotional brochure advertised that guests could also view the above ground atomic bomb testing being conducted at the Nevada Test Site.
The city of Las Vegas purchased the ranch in 1964, and operated it as a city park under the name Tule Springs Park. It was sold to the state in 1977 and renamed Floyd Lamb State Park after the chair of the state legislature’s Finance committee.  
In July 2007, the city reacquired the park from the state after completing the Floyd Lamb Park Master Plan (<A href="http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Planning">www.lasvegasnevada.gov/Planning</A>). A condition of transfer was that the park would retain the name of Floyd Lamb. The park was then renamed Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs to recognize its origins.    
The historic district includes approximately twenty-three historic buildings and structures that were part of the day-to-day operations of the ranch including a pump house, foreman's house, adobe hut, stables and water tower.

<DT>
The goal of redevelopment activity is to work in concert with the community and private sector to reverse the physical, economic and social blight within its designated boundaries. Under the guidance of the director of the Office of Business Development, the Redevelopment Agency is responsible for the day-to-day tasks of the agency. It also ensures that the policy directives of the agency board and executive director are executed.
The redevelopment area encompasses 3,079 acres. The area consists of downtown Las Vegas, Las Vegas Boulevard to Sahara Avenue. Other commercial districts include the Owens Avenue, Martin Luther King Boulevard and Eastern Avenue corridors.
Participation in the downtown redevelopment process requires interested parties to demonstrate how their project complements the redevelopment strategy. An applicant must also demonstrate the financial and managerial capacity to undertake and successfully complete the project, the needs for the agency’s assistance, and the benefit of the completed project to downtown Las Vegas.
While the Redevelopment Agency does participate financially in certain projects, it is not designed to function as a primary source of funds or as a management consultant. It is incumbent upon a developer to possess both the financial resources and management experience to construct, rehabilitate, or reconstruct a project and ensure its successful operation after completion.
The Redevelopment Agency is comprised of the current mayor and City Council.
