From space, the Las Vegas metropolitan area is the brightest spot on Earth. The 24-7 illumination combined with its pulsating shopping, entertainment and gambling attractions have helped make Sin City one of the fastest growing population centers in America. The Las Vegas Strip, a largely unincorporated area just outside Las Vegas proper, is home to eighteen of the world’s twenty-five largest hotels with a total of 67,000 rooms available among them. New Strip features are more “family friendly” and include pedestrian footbridges to make access easier for strollers, and attractions designed specifically for children.
No drum roll needed … the Nevada economy is driven principally by its resort areas, which attract visitors in the millions from throughout America and the world. The state’s per capita income is 11th in the nation at $46,108. Its agricultural outputs include cattle, hay, alfalfa, onions and potatoes. Industries other than tourism include mining, machinery, food processing, and electric equipment. Among the state’s mined minerals, gold is first at approximately $3 billion mined annually.
