Colleges Near Las Vegas

Las Vegas has the thinnest four-year college landscape of any metro on this list: just three schools, led by UNLV's 96% admit rate. If a Las Vegas-based search is the plan, the honest starting point is that there's effectively one comprehensive public option (UNLV) plus two smaller, more specialized schools -- Nevada State University and the health-sciences-focused Roseman University -- not a range to choose between.
