One of the fastest-growing cities in the nation and a great place to live, work, and play. As you prepare for your relocation, the stress of planning and daunting task of making the move might be overwhelming. This Las Vegas Relocation Guide is designed to make your move a relatively effortless and enjoyable undertaking. You will be able to find information on everything needed for relocation. From se- lecting a moving company and packing your belongings, to transferring your medical records and hooking up utilities at your new home. History of Las Vegas Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially became incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated American city founded within that century (a similar distinction earned by Chicago in the 1800’s). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960’s. and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly dou- bled, and increasing 85.2%. Rapid growth has continued into the 21st century, and according to a 2013 estimate, the population is 603,488 with a regional population of 2,027,828. Las Vegas (Spanish for “The Meadows”) often known simply as “Vegas”, is the 28th most populated city in the United States, the most populated city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internation- ally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada. The city bills itself as “The Entertainment Capital of the World” and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and as- sociated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations. The city’s tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertain- ment earned it the title of “Sin City”, and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature films, television programs, and music videos. SOUTHERN NEVADA COMMUNITIES Southern Nevada’s three largest cities; Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas are located in Clark Coun- ty. While within proximity to one another, each city is fully independent. The most recent U.S. census figures put Clark County population at more than 2 million residents. Las Vegas: While Las Vegas has always been revered for its exciting nightlife, upscale dining, retail, and en- tertainment offerings have taken the city to a new level. Las Vegas is also coming into its own with the expansion of non- gaming industries, bringing high-tech companies, notable educational, medical research facilities, and cultural arts offer- ings to the table. North Las Vegas: While some confuse North Las Vegas with the “northern part” of Las Vegas, this flourish- ing area is an independent city unto itself. With a population of more than 200,000, several successful master-planned communities have fueled economic development in North Las Vegas by attracting new business and retail amenities to the area. A proactive city government has led the way in creating a technology hub in the area. The city is home to the bulk of Southern Nevada’s manufacturing, technology, distribution, and industrial facilities. Henderson: With a population estimated at more than 252,000, Henderson has evolved from a small suburb of Las Vegas into a flourishing community. Created for Basic Magnesium Inc.’s defense plants during World War ll, Hen- derson is now home to award winning master-planned communities, a revitalized downtown business hub and an array of parks, recreational facilities, dining, and retail options. South/Southeast Valley: This sprawling are of the valley is home to both established neighborhoods and some of the area’s most popular master-planned and retirement communities. It also features popular entertainment op- tions including the District at Green Valley Ranch, the Henderson Parks & Recreation Department’s Multigenerational Center, and Outdoor Amphitheater. Southeast Las Vegas is home to several new elementary, middle, and high schools. It has easy access to other areas of the valley through convenient access to interstate 215 and U.S. Highway 95. The area is within close proximity to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Boulder City, and Hoover Dam. Some of the valley’s southeast communities include Anthem, Green Valley Ranch, Lake Las Vegas, and Seven Hills. North/Northwest Valley: Most locals refer to the entire northwestern portion of Las Vegas as "Summerlin", the award-winning Howard Hughes master-planned community that established this region of the valley. However, this area has grown to include an abundance of residential amenities, including upscale dining, shopping, and recreational opportunities. Summerlin is still a mainstay of the region, but housing options now range from condominiums and age- restricted communities to elite guard-gated custom homes. The valley's largest assemblage of golf courses can be found in the northwest. Courses include the Badlands, Painted Desert, Los Prados, and Angel Park. Shopping options include the Meadows Mall, Boca Park and Tivoli Village, as well as a number of trendy strip centers. Several neighborhood casinos, such as Santa Fe Station, Suncoast, and Red Rock Resort offer fine dining and gaming. Select neighborhoods in the northwest valley include Centennial Village,

  • 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”).

  • City of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development Department & Redevelopment Agency
    012014 City of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development Department & Redevelopment Agency Economic and Urban Development Department The Economic and Urban Development Department creates, coordinates and encourages new development and redevelopment throughout the city of Las Vegas. It increases and diversifies the city’s economy and creates jobs through business attraction, retention and expansion programs. This expanded department now includes the Parking Division. The newly reorganized and consolidated Parking Division has begun work on modernizing parking meters, online customer service, downtown parking locator assistance and aiding developers with their parking-related plans. The EUD coordinates with the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) on day-to-day operations, economic development, job creation and long-term strategic goals. 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. It also includes the Charleston Boulevard, Martin L. King Boulevard and Eastern Avenue corridors. A new Redevelopment Area 2 (RDA 2) was officially adopted during the Aug. 15, 2012 meeting of the Las Vegas City Council. The RDA 2 designation gives the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency the powers to redevelop, rehabilitate and revitalize this area. This new RDA 2 designation also allows the Redevelopment Agency to provide qualified owners/operators with certain business incentives.
