The city of Las Vegas is home to the majority of residents in Clark County. Of course everyone knows about the world famous Las Vegas Strip, but there is far more to the city than the iconic hotels and legendary entertainment.
The early days of Las Vegas featured the downtown hotels that put the city on the map as a destination for gamblers. As the decades went by, Las Vegas evolved from a sleepy town for card players, into an oasis for people of all ages looking to exchange their current lives for one of glitz and glamour, if only for a couple of days.
As the era of Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. slowly gave way to the emergence of Elvis Presley, Las Vegas never stopped evolving. Iconic builders, such as Steve Wynn, transformed the city from a gambling town for adults, into the entertainment capital of the world, and a family vacation destination.
In part because of the vision developers had for the expansion of Las Vegas beyond the Strip, the entire valley experienced fantastic growth as new industries sprouted to support the building boom. The people that live in the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas will be quick to explain to you that there is far more to their cites than casinos and showgirls.
It might catch you a bit off guard the first time you see slot machines inside the gas stations and grocery stores, but the suburbs are filled with the kind of conveniences and shopping options one would expect in an expanding region like southern Nevada.
No state income tax is always a nice bonus, and it has drawn a great deal of Californians in search of ways to make their dollars go much further, in conjunction with the overall lower cost of living in the Las Vegas area.
Las Vegas continues to grow beyond the confines of the Las Vegas Strip, and has expand in all directions (literally), and in terms of growth beyond the gambling, hospitality and entertainment industries. Las Vegas is also making arrangements to welcome their first professional sports franchise as the National Hockey League expands into the brand new T-Mobile Center.
