Las Vegas is located in the center of Vegas Valley, a desert region spanning approximately 600 square miles, which is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Spring Mountains.

Dubbed "The Entertainment Capital of the World" and "Sin City", Las Vegas is an internationally-renowned resort city for gambling, entertainment, shopping, and fine dining. In fact, tourism, gaming, and conventions are the primary drivers of the Las Vegas economy, which in turn feed the retail and restaurant industries. The first MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (now known as Bally’s) opened in 1973 with 2,084 rooms. At the time, it was one of the largest hotels in the world by number of rooms. Other notable hotels and resorts located along the Las Vegas Strip include Caesars Palace, Tropicana, Bellagio, and Hilton Grand. Since the 1990s, redevelopment efforts have been ongoing. In 1995, the city purchased 61 acres of property from the Union Pacific Railroad with a goal of drawing more people to the downtown area. In 2004, city officials announced a new development project to be built on this property called “Symphony Park”, a mixed-use modern city community. In recent years, efforts have also been made to diversify the economy by attracting light manufacturing, banking, and other commercial interests.
