East Las Vegas Wildlife Rescue Plan | Las Vegas News

East Las Vegas is set for a major transformation as the old Desert Pines Golf Club, a beloved urban wildlife sanctuary, prepares to become a 1,500-unit housing development. Part of the city’s “Our Future East Las Vegas” plan, the 95-acre site is poised for redevelopment—with construction slated to begin after the land sale closes this fall. But local resident Leo Olis is urging the city and developers to prioritize wildlife: he’s pushing for phased land clearing, gradual pond drainage, and expert-led wildlife sweeps to help animals relocate safely. His plea highlights a crucial balance—growth shouldn’t come at the cost of the creatures that’ve called this space home for years.
