Las Vegas, even though it is not in the megalopolis described in the text book, it is one of the many up and coming cities in the United States. Downtown Las Vegas is full of high rise buildings as any other downtown city is. Downtown is the center of Las Vegas and can be called the Central Business District. The main difference between downtown Las Vegas and downtown New York is that the downtown in Vegas is filled with casinos and hotels. Downtown Las Vegas is much like "the strip" only on a smaller scale, but there are plans to expand the area and make it into a mini strip. Over the past 25 years Las Vegas has expanded across the desert in all directions (the pictures above show the change). This expansion is due to the fact that more than 5000 people move to Las Vegas on a monthly basis. I could never imagine living in Vegas, I think all the bright lights would give me a headache.
