las vegas real estate: Is Las Vegas Running Out of Water - Draining Lake Mead?
- 08/10/18 02:33 PM
Is Las Vegas running out of water? Is it draining Lake Mead? So often I get questions from those considering relocation, about the water supply in Las Vegas, and it's no wonder why. There are so many stories floating around online, or just passed along by someone, that at the very least, you'd want to question if they're true.
These may include comments of Las Vegas historically being some dry, waterless and desolate place in the desert, and there is no reason why a city should even be there. Or that the growth of Las Vegas has it taking so much … (2 comments)

- 06/26/14 06:09 PM
If you were expecting a Casino Montelago reopening in 2014 at Lake Las Vegas, well.. apparently it's not. In spite of hopes that the new property owner, Kam Sang Company's Newage Lake Las Vegas LLC., would have a new casino operator reopen the casino this year, it may now be some time before it happens.
It wasn't for lack of trying. Apparently the application for casino licensure, dba Newage Gaming LLC., had been in the works for some time. Unfortunately their application was denied by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Gaming Commission during their May 2014 meetings. They have since filed … (1 comments)

- 02/18/13 06:41 PM
New Home sales in Las Vegas are on the rise, and said to be up 42% over last year. While not anywhere near the numbers built during the boom years it's been a significant increase. Pricing on both new and resale homes has also been rising, as well as vacant land sale values as Las Vegas home builders scramble to find new parcels to develop.
But some are asking why? There are plenty of homes available in the Las Vegas Valley, tons of foreclosures and short sales, vacant homes everywhere! That's the impression so many have from the media and online … (0 comments)

The event, sponsored by Cadillac of Las Vegas, benefited the USMC Toys for Tots. It was an absolutely amazing show, and for such a great cause. It even had this thumbs up from Broadway World the day before, so I'd have to say they already knew the quality of the performance to come. The show was also webcast live by Tour TV and you can watch it here with Part 1 and Part 2.

- 06/25/10 12:14 PM
Mountain's Edge in the southwest Las Vegas Valley has been ranked by RCLCO as one of thetop selling Master Planned Communities for several years, and as you'll soon see for yourself, Pardee Homes Serrano is part of the reason why it's held near the very top.

The internet is a wonderful tool, but unfortunately it's far from perfect. There are hoaxes, spam, scams, and misinformation that you have to endure and must sort out good from bad.

New Homes in Las Vegas, just as resale homes, have had prices drop due to the competition from foreclosures and short sales. In some cases these new homes in standing inventory can be priced at roughly $100 a square foot or less, offering a tremendous value. Not only because they have a builder's warranty versus the as-is of a foreclosure, they may also have added upgrades, and in some cases can be finished to the buyer's preferences. They also tend to have less … (0 comments)

He also has a post in his Vegas Happens Here blog with more on the story and some pictures of the elaborate interior. The home is not currently listed for sale, and with pending litigation it's difficult to give any timeframe of if or … (6 comments)
