Why move to Las Vegas? Well for one it's got a growing economy.
"Job creation is also rising, state data showed. Nevada created 8,200 jobs in May, the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said June 19. In the past year, 47,600 new jobs have been added to the state's work force, which is growing at a 4.4 percent annual rate, compared with 1 percent nationally." ( LVRJ July 6th 2004 )
The rest of this article talks about how Las Vegas is now the number one community for issuing new building permits. But not everbody wants a new home, I hope. Plus, if I may toot my own horn for a moment, you're not going to able to find a new home with a land lot my size unless you plan to buy a custom home.
