Las Vegas is the home of New Mexico Highlands University. It is often used in the media as a mistaken location, referring to Las Vegas,
Nevada. Las Vegas is also a venue used by the IBNA for teacher training, perhaps due to the proximity of the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West.
