Due to its location on the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas experiences 294 days of sunshine, with temperatures hitting the three digits in summer and rainfall averaging 5 inches annually. With this information, you will need to identify an experience real estate company to guide you through the best areas and the approved designs within each neighborhood.
