Construction in Las Vegas

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how the Las Vegas Valley, including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, is the fastest growing region in the United States. New tourist attractions and large casino resort hotels are also being built and opened on a regular basis. This paper looks at the three major factors which may have an effect on construction in the Las Vegas Valley. The first is summer heat, the second is wind, and the third is flash floods.

From the Paper:

"Construction in the area is constant. New subdivisions are being built at a tremendous rate to keep up with those who are moving into the area. New tourist attractions and large casino resort hotels are also being built and opened on a regular basis. The city is growing at an exponential rate. The tourist Mecca of Las Vegas is located in a broad desert valley in extreme southern Nevada. Mountains surrounding the valley extend 2,000 to 10,000 feet above the valley floor. The Las Vegas Valley comprises about six hundred square miles and runs from the north to the southeast. These mountains and the metropolitan area's location at the bottom of the valley have extreme effects on the weather."
