The Springs Preserve is a couple miles west of downtown. The preserve sits on 180 acres and is currently under construction. It’s a 250 million dollar project, with new museums, desert gardens, and trails, so it should be pretty cool. The springs stopped flowing to the surface naturally many years ago due to depletion of the water table.

There are many other springs in Southern Nevada, including Tule Springs at Floyd Lamb State Park in northwest Las Vegas. Corn Creek at the entrance to the Desert National Willife Range. A few around Lake Mead, and dozens in the Spring Mountains.
