Meetups in this graticule will most likely be coordinated through the Las Vegas page.

Today's Location: 36,-114

This graticule is located at 36,-114 and covers the Valley of Fire State Park and most of Lake Mead. The far eastern outskirts of Las Vegas and Nellis AFB lie on the western edge of the graticule. The northeastern corner barely edges into the Virgin River Gorge and the notorious "you can't get there from here" Arizona Strip. This graticule also contains the Hoover Dam, located on the very southern edge.
