Architecture of Las Vegas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Architecture of Las Vegas has taken several interesting turns over the years. Beginning with the 1990s, a large number of high-rise buildings have begun appearing throughout the city, dramatically changing the city's skyline. Prior to this large-scale themed casinos/resorts were a major attraction of the city, and master-planned housing development projects caused major sprawl throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
