Relocate to Las Vegas

Falling in love with Las Vegas is easy to do. "The Entertainment Capital of the World" welcomes 35 million people a year. Visitors love to enjoy luxurious hotels, unique shopping experiences, dazzling and unusual stage shows, first rate restaurants, and world class gaming. Of course, Las Vegas is also a golfer's paradise, with plenty of championship golf courses. 

Away from the man-made excitement is a world of natural beauty unlike any other place on earth. Red Rock Canyon's unique rock formations are perfect for both the photographer and the rock climbing enthusiast. Mt. Charleston offers hiking, skiing, camping and all the wonderful sensations of the High Sierras. Lake Mead is perfect if you're into water sports. The Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire, and Death Valley are all short hops from the Strip.

For the entire decade of the 1990s and now into the 21st century, Las Vegas has been the fastest growing metro area in the nation! Low unemployment, an expanding skilled labor force, an exceptional tax structure, a pro-business environment and a great climate all give Las Vegas the "total package."

Each month, a spectacular 2.5 million visitors and 6,000 new residents flock to Las Vegas to enjoy its warm climate, fabulous resorts, unparalleled entertainment, southwestern lifestyle and economic prosperity. The current population is estimated at 1.6 million.

Las Vegas has continued to rank first nationally in employment growth since 1995, according to the Arizona State University Economic Outlook Center. With Clark County’s consistently low unemployment rate, Las Vegas is projected to maintain its position well into the millennium.

The population explosion has resulted in great opportunities for new businesses and more jobs. Las Vegas continually ranks among the top cities in job growth — an important factor to relocating individuals and families. Outlook recently named Las Vegas as one of the top five cities in the country to live. Inc. rated Las Vegas as the # 1 entrepreneurial city in America, citing the thousands of new businesses that start in Nevada each year. Fortune named Las Vegas as the #2 city in the country in which to do business.

Because tourism adds up to nearly one-third of the state’s annual tax revenue, business owners are not subject to corporate income tax or franchise, inventory or unitary taxes. Residents pay no personal income tax. The minimal tax burden means that Nevadans can keep more of the money they earn. U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Analysis Bureau ranks Las Vegas as the top metro area for income per capita, with an annual growth rate of 2.3%.

If you are planning to relocate, Las Vegas should be at the top of your list of desirable locations. The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce extends a warm welcome — inviting you to get to know our residents, become involved in commerce and call Las Vegas home.
