Las Vegas Area Information
Known as “the entertainment capital of the world” for
decades, Las Vegas happens
to be one of the most rapidly growing
business communities in the country. Each month, more than 6,000
new residents make the Las Vegas Valley their home. The population
of metropolitan area is expected to exceed two million residents
by the year 2010. Over time, Las Vegas has proved itself to be
more than just glittery entertainment and gambling; Las Vegas has
established itself as a great place to live, work, and play!
The economical outlook for the Las Vegas area is just like the
typical day, bright! The cost of living in the area is lower than
other comparable U.S. cities, due in part to not having a personal
income tax. New job growth can be attributed to an expanding skilled
labor force, an exceptional tax structure, 24 hour town, and pro-business
environment (no corporate income, franchise, inventory, or unitary
taxes). While hospitality and gaming lead the industries,
many technology and banking companies are either being relocated
to Las Vegas or are created there.
The plethora of activities available in the valley makes Las Vegas
a year-round playground. From the skiing on Mt. Charleston to the
swimming in Lake Mead to the hiking of the canyons, Las Vegas promises
to offer a little bit of everything for everyone.
