Enterpirse? Primm Valley? I know most of the metro is surrounded by Mountains and Federal Land.

Growth? I think most are just hoping for stabilization in the housing market, at this point.

Is he wrong? If there's going to be growth in metro Vegas, what's going to drive it? The casino business is break even at best at the moment. The growth for it's own sake industry is long gone.

If I knew the answer to the O/P's question I'd be there buying land.

The thing to understand though is how the Nevada open property market works. Generally everything on the fringes of Las Vegas that don't have development are probably government owned or restricted. How you get it unrestricted is you play politics and usually the only ones strong enough to do this are developers with lots of money. You show politicians how your plan makes sense and most importantly how its going to put tax dollars into local coffers and they back you by requesting for government controlled parcels of land to be essentially allowed into private ownership.

So if you are just an investor thinking how can I get ahead of land grabs and movements in development, the sad fact is you really can't. You could invest in the general path of development, but these are kind of obvious. Where infranstructure in terms of roads and retail exist, the people and home and office developments will follow. But you couldn't look at a map and say 10 miles north of North Las Vegas off I-15 there is an obvious development opportunity so I want to buy in now. You just can't buy that land ahead of a developer.

So what's your answer. Where is growth in Vegasland going to come from?

Looking at a map and driving past there every now and then, I always think that will be the next place to be massively developed but when there is no telling. Funny seeing all the roads like Losee and Pecos ending at 215 but with a dirt "ghost road continuing on. I dont know how its zoned but, its in the sometimes flight path of the Nellis jets. But there are tons of undeveloped lots and empty retail spaces all over NLV and LV in general.
