According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter was around seven miles west of Summerlin.
Initial data placed the earthquake at a magnitude of 4.1, although experts note that readings can still be updated as more information becomes available.
Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage. However, residents across the region quickly reported feeling the shaking.
Where was the Las Vegas earthquake felt?
While the earthquake originated near Red Rock Canyon, reports suggest the tremor was felt well beyond the immediate area.
Some residents as far west as Pahrump said they experienced the ground moving during the afternoon event. Meanwhile, local authorities continued monitoring the situation as assessments got underway.
The quake sparked concern online, with many sharing their experiences shortly after the shaking stopped.
Could more aftershocks follow?
Although the main tremor appears to have passed, experts warn there is still a possibility of additional seismic activity.
According to a forecast from the USGS, there is a 33% chance of an aftershock measuring 3.0 magnitude or greater within the next seven days.
As a result, residents in the area may continue to experience smaller tremors throughout the coming week. Earlier in the day, the USGS briefly listed a separate 3.1-magnitude earthquake north of Mesquite, Nevada.
That report was later removed from the agency's website, leaving the Red Rock Canyon quake as the primary seismic event recorded Thursday afternoon.
