Quite simply, this area has it all.

Indoor and outdoor activities and facilities abound throughout the Las Vegas area. Its sun-filled days and sprawling desert landscape mean hiking, biking, golfing, swimming, kayaking and dozens of other outdoor recreational opportunities are at your fingertips.

Libraries, museums and theaters abound in the Las Vegas area.

Currently the city is home to approximately 1.6 million people. The unemployment rate in Las Vegas continues to be very low, despite the consistent rate of growth. Another advantage to living in the desert is the proximity to other places. You can drive an hour or less in any direction from Las Vegas and find serenity in nature. A fun river vacation is just 90 miles south in popular summer spot, Laughlin. The beaches, theme parks and culture of southern California are only a few hours away and air travel is a snap at the McCarren International Airport, serving Las Vegas and surrounding communities of Clark County. But take it from the real local residents, once you hang your hat in Vegas, you’ll be hard pressed to find a reason to leave.
