Las Vegas cannot yet be classified as a big city, but is faces many of the same challenges as New York, Chic ago, and Los Angeles when it comes to transportation. An ever growing population and rising tourist numbers place substantial demands on every roadway in the city, resulting in dozens of ongoing construction efforts either to add new thoroughfares or to widen those already in use. Southern Nevada invests $500 million a year in surface transportation, and the result has been more stress-free commutes in less time.
