WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (“The Meadows” in Spanish) was founded as a city on May 15, 1905. At that time, Las Vegas was only 19.18 square miles and had a population of approximately 800. The Las Vegas Valley has been named as the fastest growing area in the United States. The good climate, the economy, the job opportunities and the many amenities offered are some of the factors prompting our growth. Las Vegas is the largest metropolitan city in the United States that was founded in 20th century. Approximately 98% of Nevada is owned by the federal Government And the growth continues still. The latest population prediction in the Las Vegas valley is over 2 million people by 2008. As the valley runs out of commutable housing space, high rise condominiums dot the master plans for the Las Vegas of tomorrow.
