Opportunity Zones in Las Vegas, NV
The City of Las Vegas has 22 Qualified Opportunity Zones under the original 2018 (OZ 1.0) designation round. These zones remain in effect through December 31, 2028.
Under the Opportunity Zones 2.0 framework, the State of Nevada will nominate a new round of Opportunity Zones in 2026, with those designations taking effect on January 1, 2027.
What Are Opportunity Zones?
Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities designated at the census-tract level. U.S. taxpayers who reinvest eligible capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds that invest in Opportunity Zone property may qualify for several federal tax benefits.
How To Invest in Opportunity Zones
To qualify for the Opportunity Zone tax incentive, investors must reinvest eligible capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). The QOF must then deploy capital into qualified Opportunity Zone property or businesses located within designated census tracts.
Qualifying investments may include ground-up real estate development, substantial rehabilitation of existing property, or operating businesses structured as Qualified Opportunity Zone Businesses (QOZBs), provided all statutory and regulatory requirements are satisfied.

Future OZ 2.0 Designations in Las Vegas
On January 29, 2026, the U.S. Census Bureau released its five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates for the 2020–2024 period. These data determine which census tracts are eligible for Opportunity Zone designation under the OZ 2.0 framework.
Across the State of Nevada, 195 census tracts meet the statutory median-family- income and/or poverty-rate thresholds. Under the 25 percent statutory cap, Nevada may nominate up to 49 of those tracts, with new designations taking effect on January 1, 2027.
