Denise Willer 'Where There's a Willer There's a Way' Las Vegas

U.S. News and World Report has rated 2008 public schools across the nation and SIX High Schools in the Clark County School District (CCSD) have received a Silver or Bronze status! They collaborated with Schoolmatters.com to determine the best schools.

Clark High School, located in the City of Las Vegas, was the only non-magnet school to receive an award. The other five award-winners included some of our exemplary magnet schools that provide specialized education for children with goals beyond a general education.

For example, the two most popular magnet schools: ATech and The Academy. I have the pleasure of knowing two WONDERFUL young adults that attend these schools. Who says teenagers can't be amazing people?

ATech, or Advanced Technologies Academy is located near the city's public golf course and has eight program majors whose primary focus is, like its name, all about Technology. Students apply to attend these magnet programs during middle school. The acceptance process can be rigorous, to say the least. Of course, ATech has an amazing website that can be found here.

The Academy, or Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing and Visual Arts is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas in the former Las Vegas High School building. Not only is it the site of Las Vegas' oldest high school, it's also an historical district! If you're looking for an amazing play or would love more information, The Academy's site is located here.

As always, Las Vegas is BOOMING with new projects! We go through these growth spurts like a child - we get chubby and fat (housing market swells) and then we shoot up a few inches higher (brand new casino projects)

• Las Vegas started with "The Strip" - it was Fremont Street Downtown, and over the years has migrated to "Las Vegas Blvd. South" - Get ready for "Strip" number three - "North-town" will have its own "Strip" location up near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway! -Article
  
• 2011 will bring the opening of the World Jewelry Center to round out the feature attractions growing in downtown Las Vegas (west of the original nine streets) in the 61-acre Union Park area. Union Park has been part of Mayor Oscar Goodman's vision for downtown for many years, and it's amazing to see it start to take on its massive shape, with the World Market Center's two behemoth design center and showcase buildings, the Molasky Group of Companies building sitting at the heart of the "Spaghetti Bowl", the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute under works and affordable high rise living slated with Juhl to name a few of the non-gaming projects that are shooting into the sky in the heart of our city!
  
• Amidst all of this wonderful development is the WONDERFUL NEWS that Las Vegas' median home price has dropped BELOW $250,000! That means AFFORDABLE housing in Las Vegas is becoming more readily available by the day! (Two of the reasons for this -oversupply plus the credit crunch is eliminating many jumbo loan buyers, which means fewer jumbo loan sized houses are selling).

An article today from Entrepreneur.com lists four great locations in the US to purchase a home, and one of them is Las Vegas real estate -

WHY, you ask?

Because we have a STRONG job market, which will pull us from these doom-and-gloom housing doldrums and bring us right back on track to where we truly are; on the cusp of being the next major metropolis.

Las Vegas is already an international destination, and now that we have major international players investing in our little piece of desert, things can only get better. If you aren't familiar with the 200,000 new jobs coming on line in the next five years or so, be forewarned that change is on the horizon. If you don't act soon to buy a Las Vegas home, you will probably be disappointed!

Here's a great example from the Las Vegas Sun:

"While the $7.8 billion CityCenter development may be the most ambitious project in the country, and more than $30 billion in hotel and condo projects will be built on the Strip over the next several years, Dubai is plowing as much as $50 billion into commercial projects by 2010 -an unprecedented growth rate for any tourism destination in the world."
