Las Vegas City Limits
Out of the Approximate 1.8 million people who live in the Las Vegas Valley, 600,000 actually live inside Las Vegas city limits. Over 700,000 people live in unincorporated areas governed by Clark County, and another 465,000 live in incorporated cities such as North Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City.
Las Vegas is situated on the arid floor within Clark County. The surrounding environment is dominated by desert, vegetation and some wildlife. A concerted effort made by city officials to diversify the economy from tourism by attracting light manufacturing, banking and other commercial interests.
In early 1990s the city's rapid growing population, the new Chinatown of Las Vegas was constructed on Spring Mountain Road. Chinatown initially consisted of only one large shopping center complex, but the area was recently expanded for new shopping centers that contain various Asian businesses
With this Strip expansion, the downtown area which has maintained an old Las Vegas feel began to suffer. The Fremont Street Experience was built in an effort to draw tourists back to the area and has proven to be popular in that regard. The multi-level Neonopolis, complete with 11 theaters, was built to offer more retail opportunity and services.
Many high-rise condo projects have also been underway as the downtown area is transforming into a livable neighborhood. On April 2005, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) operation from the far west of the city to a new downtown building was opened. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) move is expected to create a greater demand for additional businesses in the area, especially in the daytime hours.
