85% of land is government owned in Las Vegas

[Terry Lao]

With all the desert surrounding Las Vegas, one would think there is an abundant amount of land to bury dead bodies or build new homes. Unfortunately, 85% of the surrounding land is owned by the government. Leaving only 15% privately held. 

I heard that statement a few times, but finally found an article that references the 85% government owned land. See article below, scroll towards the bottom. 

Now, another reason why Las Vegas real estate is going up.
