Information AboutFloyd Lamb State Park |
|
The area was home to several Native American visitors in the pre-Columbian period. More recently, it served as a guest ranch for out-of-state residents seeking to "live" in Nevada and gain access to its easy Divorce requirements. Several of the ranch's buildings remain, as do a few peacocks. The park was named for former Nevada state senator Floyd Lamb. He was convicted in 1983 for attempted extortion, but efforts to rename the park consistently failed in the state legislature. The legislature and state in 2005 agreed to release control and ownership of the park to the city of Las Vegas , making its days as a state park numbered. EXTERNAL LINKS |
