Manhattan-isation of Las Vegas

High-rise building that have made their way into the Las Vegas skyline has created a division between the people of different income group and denied them access to all the places. The mass construction in the suburbs has paved way for the elite urban living, which is targeted at the aging baby boomers and not the families. The units in and around the strip and the town are in the range of $500,000 to $800,000, which is out of reach of the middle class families who have an income of $58,000. The market for high-end living opportunity is secure, were people, see to the increase in price as an opportunity rather than a threat. With dimension of the city increasing vertically, the developers have failed to provide attainable housing for the middle class. The community is flooded with towers that take care of every aspect of the high-end market. One of the developments is One Queens Ridge Place, a development in the Summerlin area, the units’ here cost as much as $2 million per piece.
