The Y

The Y, located at 6601 N Buffalo Dr in Las Vegas, zip code 89131, runs one of the broadest youth program lineups in the valley, covering ages 0 to 18 across five brackets: infants 0 to 1, toddlers 2 to 3, preschool 4 to 5, kids 6 to 12, and teens 13 to 18. Programs span infant and toddler childcare, preschool and pre-K, before and after school care, youth sports leagues, swim lessons, summer, spring break, and winter break camps, gymnastics, taekwondo, adaptive sports, youth fitness, a Leaders Club, and a Youth & Government program, which together cover nearly every stage from infancy through the teen years.

Facilities include swimming pools, a gymnasium, sports fields, classrooms, playgrounds, and dedicated childcare space, giving the organization the infrastructure to run childcare and active programming under one roof rather than splitting families across multiple locations for swim lessons, sports, and daily care. The Y is marked as special needs friendly, with adaptive sports and inclusive programs listed as specific accommodations, which is worth noting given how few listings in this directory specify a named adaptive sports offering. The sheer number of programs listed, spanning childcare, competitive sports, martial arts, and civic leadership through Youth & Government, means most families with more than one child across different ages could plausibly keep every kid enrolled at this single Buffalo Drive location rather than splitting time between several different providers around the valley.

Hours run 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Thursday, 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, and a shorter 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM window on Sunday. The Y operates year-round, and the price range is listed as $$, a moderate tier that likely reflects membership-based access to the wide range of programs listed.

Given the range of programs on offer, from infant childcare through teen leadership, families are encouraged to call (702) 478-9622 to ask which specific program and age bracket fits their child, or to visit www.lasvegasymca.org for full program details and registration.
