Las Vegas Centennial Time Capsule

The Las Vegas Centennial Time Capsule will be lowered into the ground this Thursday, December 15 at 11:00 a.m. at Centennial Plaza on 4th Street near Lewis Avenue in Downtown Las Vegas. Mayor Oscar B. Goodman welcomes residents and visitors to join him for this historic event that will bottle up some of what captures the spirit of Las Vegas today. The capsule will be set in concrete and covered with artwork at a later date as part of a finished monument. The location for this capsule monument is the site of the historic Las Vegas Grammar School (or 5th Street School) built in 1936, which is one of the only remaining intact Mission style buildings of its era in Las Vegas. The capsule will not be opened until 2015.
