Las Vegas Valley is a major metropolitan area in the southern US state of Nevada. The largest urban agglomeration of the country, it is the heart of Las Vegas-Paradise-Henderson, NV MSA. The valley is largely determined by the Las Vegas Valley landform, the basin area of ​​600Ã, sqÃ, mi (1,600 km 2 ) surrounded by mountains to the north, south, east and west of the metropolitan area. The valley is home to the three largest cities incorporated in Nevada: Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. The five unconditional cities governed by the Clark County government are part of Las Vegas Township and are the largest community in the state of Nevada.
Names of Las Vegas and Vegas are alternately used to denote the Valley, the Path, and the city, and as a brand by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to denominate territories. The valley is known as the "island of ninth" by native Hawaiians and Las vegans, partly because of the large number of people who come from Hawaii who live and regularly travel to Las Vegas.
Since the 1990s, the Las Vegas Valley has grown rapidly, more than doubling its 741,459 in 1990 to more than 2 million by 2015. The Las Vegas Valley remains one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States , and in a relatively short history has established a diverse presence in international business, commerce, urban development and entertainment, as well as one of the most iconic and most visited tourist destinations in the world. In 2014, a record breaking 41 million visiting the Las Vegas area, generating gross metropolitan products of more than $ 100 billion.

History
The first non-Native American visitor reported to the Las Vegas Valley was the Mexican scout Rafael Rivera in 1829. Las Vegas was named by Mexicans at Antonio Armijo's party, including Rivera, who used water in the area as he headed north and west along the Old Spanish Trail from Texas. In the 19th century, the valley area contained artesian wells supporting large green areas, or grasslands, hence the name Las Vegas ( vegas became Spanish for "grasslands" ).
This area was previously occupied by Mormon farmers in 1854 and later became the site of the United States Army fortress in 1864, beginning a long relationship between southern Nevada and the US military. Since the 1930s, Las Vegas has generally been identified as a game center as well as a resort destination, primarily targeting adults.
Nellis Air Force Base is located in the northeast corner of the valley. The range used by Nellis pilots and other lands used by various federal agencies, limits the growth of the valleys in terms of geographic areas.
Businessman Howard Hughes arrived in the late 1960s and bought many casino hotels, as well as television and radio stations in the area. Legitimate companies started buying hotel casinos as well, and the masses had run out by the federal government over the next few years. The constant flow of tourist dollars from hotels and casinos coupled with a new federal money source from the establishment of what is now Nellis Air Force Base. The inclusion of military personnel and casino job seekers helped start a burst of land development that is now subsiding.
The Las Vegas area remains one of the world's premier entertainment destinations. Boundary
This valley is contained in the Las Vegas Valley landform. These include the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson, and the inseparable cities of Summerlin South, Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, Enterprise, Winchester, and Whitney. The valley is technically located within a larger metropolitan area, since the metropolitan area covers all of Clark County including parts that do not fall within the valley.
The Clark County Government has a "Urban Planning Area" in Las Vegas. This definition is the area around the rectangle, about 20 miles (32 km) from east to west and 30 miles (48 km) from north to south. Leading exclusions from "Urban Planning Areas" include Red Rock, Blue Diamond, and Mount Charleston.
The Metropolitan Police Department of Las Vegas is the largest police department in the valley and state and runs jurisdictions throughout the region. There are about 3,000 police officers covering the city of Las Vegas; unrelated areas; the town of Laughlin, about 90 miles (140 km) from Downtown Las Vegas; and deserts, parks, and mountain areas within Clark County. The Department does not exercise primary jurisdiction in areas with separate police forces such as North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Nellis Air Force Base and Paiute reservations.

Geography and environment
The Las Vegas Valley is located in the Mojave Desert. The surrounding land is a desert with mountains in the distance.
Climate
The Las Vegas Valley is located in a relatively high part of the Mojave Desert, with a subtropical heat-desert climate. The valleys generally average less than 5Ã, (130Ã, mm) of rain every year. Daytime daily daytime temperatures in July and August typically range from 100Ã,  ° F (38Ã,  ° C) to 110Ã, ° F (43Ã,  ° C), whereas the night generally ranges from 72Ã,  ° F ( 22Ã,  ° C) up to 80Ã,  °. Ã,  ° F (27Ã,  ° C). Very low humidity, however, dampens the effects of this temperature, although dehydration, heat exhaustion, and solar stroke can occur even after a limited time outdoors in the summer. Car interiors often prove deadly to small children and pets during the summer and sun-exposed surfaces can cause first and second level injuries on unprotected skin. July and August can also be marked by "rainy season", when humid winds from the Gulf of California soak much of the Southwest of the United States. Although it not only increases the humidity level, it develops into a dramatic thunder storm that can sometimes cause flash floods.
Winter in Las Vegas Valley is usually cold, but sunny. The highest winters in December and January typically range from 52Ã, ° F (11Ã,  ° C) to 60Ã,  ° F (16Ã,  ° C), while nighttime lows range from 34Ã,  ° F (1à ,  ° C) up to 42Ã,  ° F (6  ° C). The mountains that surround the valley are covered with snow during the winter, but the accumulation of snow in the area itself is rare. However, every few years, Las Vegas gets measurable snowfall.
Spring and autumn are generally warm to hot.
Zone error
The valley has seven known seismic fault zones; Mount France Errors; Whitney Mesa's errors; Cash Errors; Valley View Fault; Decatur error; Eglington Fault; West Charleston Fault.
Air quality
Having a part of the area in the desert basin creates problems with air quality. From the wind-blown dust, to the smoke fog generated by the vehicle, to the pollen in the air, the valley has some bad air days.
Pollen can be a big problem a few weeks a year, with a count sometimes in the 70,000-plus range. Local governments are trying to control this by banning plants that produce the most pollen.
Dust problems usually occur on windy days, so they tend to be short and seasonal. Full dust storms are rare.
Smoke, on the other hand, gets worse when there is no wind to move air out of the valley. Also, in winter it is possible for inversion to form in the valley.
Because manufacturing is not the dominant industry in Las Vegas, and with Clark County working to control air quality issues, success has been proven over the years.
Water
The original flora does not help the ground to hold water. During heavy rainy wet weather or (relatively) wet months of January and February, a network of naturally occurring ducts, called wasps or arroyos, carved in the bottom of the valley allows water to flow down from the mountains and gather in the Las Vegas Wash that runs through Clark County Wetlands Park. Washing systems are used to form large natural wetlands that are then flowed into the Colorado River, until the construction of the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River leads to the creation of Lake Mead. Further developments in the 1980s and 1990s made the Las Vegas Lake, which necessitated directing Las Vegas Wash to the tunnel that runs beneath Lake Las Vegas and onto Lake Mead.
Nevada receives an allocation of 300,000 acre feet (370,000,000 m 3 ) of water annually from Lake Mead, with credit for the water back to the lake. Allocations are made with the Colorado River Compact when Nevada has a much smaller population and very little farming. The allocations are also done over wet years, which exaggerate the water available across the watershed. As a result, below-normal rainfall for several years can significantly affect the Colorado River reservoir. The Las Vegas area uses most of this allocation with Laughlin, Nevada using most of the remaining allocations. In June 2007, the price of one cubic meter was 57 cents in Las Vegas. Las Vegas gets about 90 percent of its water from Lake Mead.
Early Vegas is dependent on aquifers feeding flowing springs that support grasslands that name the region, but pumping water from this causes a massive drop in water levels and land subsidence across vast areas of the valley. Today, aquifers are basically used to store water that is pumped from the lake during low demand periods and pumped out during periods of high demand.
Urbanization
The population doubling time in larger metropolitan areas is under ten years, since the early 1970s and the Las Vegas metropolitan area now has a population close to two million people. This rapid population growth leads to significant urbanization of desert lands into industrial and commercial areas (see suburbia).
Economy
The driving force in Las Vegas is the tourism industry and the area has about 150,000 hotel rooms, more than any other city in the world. In the past, casinos and celebrity shows were the two main attractions for the area. Now shopping, conventions, fine dining, and outdoor beauty is also a major force in attracting tourist dollars.
Las Vegas serves as the world headquarters for two of the world's largest Fortune 500 game companies, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International. Some companies involved in the manufacture of electronic gaming machines, such as slot machines, are located in the Las Vegas area. In the first decade of the 21st century, shopping and eating have become a major attraction. Tourism marketing and promotion are handled by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Authority, an agency across the region. The annual Visitors Survey provides detailed information on the number of visitors, spending patterns, and revenue generated.
While Las Vegas has historically attracted high-headed gamblers from around the world, it is now facing tough competition from Britain, Hong Kong and Macao (China), Eastern Europe and the developing regions of the Middle East.
Las Vegas has recently enjoyed an explosion in population and tourism. The urban area has grown so fast that it limits the ownership of the Bureau of Land Management along its banks. This has led to an increase in the value of land so that the development of medium and high density occurs closer to the core. Chinatown Las Vegas was built in the early 1990s on Spring Mountain Road. Chinatown originally comprised only one large shopping center complex, but the area was expanded with shopping centers containing various Asian businesses. Over the past few years, pensioners have moved to the metro area, encouraging businesses that support them from housing to health care.
While housing costs jumped more than 40% in 2004, the lack of business taxes and steady income made Nevada an attractive place for many companies to move to or expand existing operations. Being a real twenty-four hour city, call centers always seem to find Las Vegas a good place to hire workers who are accustomed to working at all hours.
Construction industry account for part of the economy in Las Vegas. The hotel casinos planned for the Strip can take years to build and employ thousands of workers. Developers find that there is a demand for high-end condominiums. In 2005, more than 100 condominium buildings were in various stages of development, however, in 2008, the construction industry declined due to the credit crisis, even though the industry has been rebounding.
In 2000 more than 21,000 new homes and 26,000 resale homes were purchased. In early 2005 there were 20 housing construction projects each of more than 300 hectares (120 hectares). During the same period, Las Vegas is considered the fastest growing community in the United States.
Other promising housing and office developments have begun construction around Downtown Las Vegas. New condominiums and high-rise hotel projects have changed the Las Vegas horizon dramatically in recent years. Many large high-rise projects are planned for Downtown Las Vegas, as well as the Las Vegas Strip.
Construction
Construction in Las Vegas is a major industry and growing rapidly with the population. As of March 2011, the construction employs 40,700 people and is expected to grow with economic recovery. Since the mega resorts that have established Las Vegas today, began to rise in the early 1970s, construction has played an important role in commercial and non commercial development. Crane is a constant part of Las Vegas Skyline. At any given time there are 300 new homes being built in Las Vegas. The town center and The Strip always have at least one hospitality project under construction. In addition, in recent years, Las Vegas has experienced a surge in high-rise residential units. Luxury condo and penthouse suites are always built. The new community planned in the suburbs has also become common in Las Vegas since The Howard Hughes Corporation began working at Summerlin, an upscale community on the western side of the valley.
The major CityCenter project broke out on June 26, 2006. Now completed at 3780 Las Vegas Boulevard South, it is the largest privately funded private building in the world. At a cost of $ 9.2 billion, CityCenter is one of the largest projects in the history of Vegas. This places great tension on the ability of construction and labor of the region due to the number of workers and the amount of materials needed. Therefore, the price of almost all construction projects in Las Vegas doubled. It is currently held by MGM Resorts International and has three hotels, two condominium towers, and a condo-hotel building along with a large shopping and entertainment center.
Housing
Traditionally, housing consists primarily of single detached single homes. The slab-on-grade foundation is a common base for residential buildings in the valley. The apartment is generally a two-story building. Until the 1990s, there were exceptions, but the numbers were few and far. In the 1990s, Turnberry Associates built the first high-rise condominium tower. Before this, there were only a few middle-level multi-family buildings. In the mid-2000s, there was a big step into the high-rise condo tower, which affected the skyline of the region around the Strip.
Las Vegas Valley is home to a variety of suburb planned communities that include extensive recreation facilities such as lakes, golf courses, parks, bicycle paths and jogging tracks. Planned communities in the valley include Aliante, Anthem, Centennial Hills, Green Valley, Inspirada, The Lakes, Mountain's Edge, Peccole Ranch, Silverado Ranch, Seven Hills, Southern Highlands and Summerlin.
Technology company
Some technology companies have moved to Las Vegas or made it there. For various reasons, Las Vegas has high-tech companies in the gaming and electronics telecommunication industries.
Some of today's technology companies in southern Nevada include: Bigelow Aerospace, Petroglyph, Switch Communications, US Support LLC, and Zappos.
By 2015, electric vehicle startup Faraday Future has chosen Apex Industrial Park in North Las Vegas for a $ 1 billion car plant.
The company was originally formed in the Las Vegas area, but since it was sold or moved including Westwood Studios (sold to Electronic Arts), Research Systems & Development (Sale to IBM), Yellowpages.com (Sold to BellSouth and SBC), and MPower Communications.
Tourism
The main attraction in Las Vegas Valley is the hotel/casino. These hotels generally consist of large gambling areas, theaters for live performances, shopping, bars/clubs, and several restaurants and cafes. There is a large hotel/casino group located in downtown Las Vegas and on the Las Vegas Strip. The largest hotels are mainly located on the Strip, which is part of four miles from Las Vegas Boulevard. These hotels provide thousands of rooms of various sizes. Fifteen of the world's 25 largest hotels by number of rooms are on the Strip, totaling more than 62,000 rooms. There are many hotels/casinos in downtown as well, which is the original focal point of the Valley gaming industry. Some hotels/casinos ranging from large to small are also located around the city and metro areas. Many of the world's largest hotel, casino and resort properties are located on the Las Vegas Strip.
The valley casinos can be grouped into several locations. The largest is the Las Vegas Strip, followed by Downtown Las Vegas, and then the smaller Boulder Strip. There are also several single-stand single hotels/casinos scattered around the valley and metro areas.
Shopping
Las Vegas has expanded its appeal to visitors by offering affordable and high-quality merchandise at many shops and shopping centers. Many of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip also have adjacent shopping centers, providing the highest shopping area in a shopping center in Las Vegas for four miles per road. In addition to the mall on the Strip, there are several isolated malls in the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, and the surrounding area. The Monorail, located east of the Strip, facilitates a north-south trip, including stations at several casinos and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Convention
Las Vegas holds many of the world's largest conventions every year, including CES, SEMA, and Conexpo. The Las Vegas Convention Center is one of the largest in the world with an exhibit space of 1,940,631 square feet (180,230,5 m 2 ). These events bring in about $ 7.4 billion in revenues to the city each year, and accommodate more than 5 million visitors.
