In Nevada, this agency is the Nevada Division of Water Resources. The objective of the study was to provide technicai information for use in the developmer,t of lociil flood plain management regulations within the flood plain areas affectel=- by Las Vegas Wash and its principal tributaries.

  • Las Vegas Is Fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents Enjoy Our Wide-Ranging Venues Too
    LAS VEGAS IS FILLED WITH EXCITING WEDDING DESTINATIONS Las Vegas is fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents enjoy our wide-ranging venues too. Fabulous hotels and resorts present unimaginable options. Storied Las Vegas chapels and Elvis impersonators provide altogether different choices. We’ve done weddings in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and are looking forward to our first at the Mob Museum and the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Beyond that, Las Vegas has high-end restaurants, clubs and studios that offer one-of-a-kind packages. But you may be looking for something more picturesque than any of these. You may want your wedding “in a cathedral not built by human hands”. Vegas weddings don’t have to be indoors. With sunny consistent weather, Las Vegas is a perfect place for outdoor weddings. And with hillside locations offering panoramic views, extending forty miles, you can choose among breathtaking backgrounds for your incredible day. Las Vegas weather is magnificent all year round. Our winters average 39ºF / 58ºF (December and January). In summer our mornings and nights are inviting (though in July and August our afternoon temperatures occasionally reach as high as 115ºF). Our breezes and gorgeous sunsets are legendary. Rain is infinitesimal. So terrace, gazebo, garden, lake side, golf course, park, and unique outdoor weddings are always possible – and always romantic! Whether you are hiring someone to arrange a huge wedding, or you’re preparing an intimate ceremony for just your partner and a witness or two, Las Vegas has it all. You can plan with confidence. We’ve officiated weddings while in a Limo travelling the Strip and a helicopter encir- cling the city (neither are technically “outdoors”).

Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency The Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) promotes the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas and surrounding older commercial districts by working with developers, property owners and the community to accomplish beneficial revitalization efforts, create jobs and eliminate urban decay. The city of Las Vegas currently has two designated redevelopment areas. Redevelopment Area 1 encompasses 3,948 acres. The area roughly includes the greater downtown Las Vegas area east of I-15, south of Washington Avenue, north of Sahara Avenue and west of Maryland Parkway.
