Las Vegas--Numerous Advantages

While potential sites like Moffett and Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area will have to contend with rising sea levels (we are taking a 100 year plus view for a museum), Las Vegas will have the opposite problem. Fortunately, a museum is not a big water user. The other major issue in both the Bay Area and the LA/Orange County areas, no surprise here, is the value of real estate. As a result, developers have already taken over former military bases for housing, light commercial use, parks, etc. The Las Vegas/Henderson area still has potential sites available, although locations near an airport are disappearing rapidly. The prospect of a high-speed rail link to SoCal is also improving and will bring in additional visitors. Read more in an article published December 29th in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
