AI AgentFrequently asked questions
What is the elevation of Las Vegas in feet and metres?
Las Vegas is at 610 m, or 2,000 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 500 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 537 m to 660 m.
Is Las Vegas at high altitude?
No. At 610 m (2,000 ft), Las Vegas is below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where altitude has little effect on most people.
What is the highest point near Las Vegas?
Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 660 m (2,165 ft) at 36.17186, -115.19117. The lowest is 537 m (1,763 ft) at 36.15973, -115.08601.
How is the elevation of Las Vegas measured?
From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 121 points within 500 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
