The American Dream At Your Reach; Immigrants Help Make It Happen

I am on my way to Las Vegas. After stopping at Barstow to use the restroom and check McDonald's buildings mounted on parked old trains. My kids forced me to stop there. They had seen the arched signs from the road. Soon there after, we were on our way to Las Vegas. Going from California to Las Vegas takes you over mountains, desert and dry lake beds. One can describe it as going from paradise through hell to paradise. I was mostly interested in the construction activities in Nevada. I have read so many great reports about Las Vegas real estate. After crossing the line on the border with California, I was amazed to see the extent of the brand new commercial buildings right at the entrance. Obviously, most of them belong to Casino resort entities. On my left and right, stand gorgeous buildings announcing their ware. This was just the beginning. Rio which is located right close to the 15 highway, has just completed some magnificent buildings. We headed to Las Vegas/ Strip. On my way, I realized how huge Lass Vegas is.

The city is in the midst of a building boom. Everywhere you turn, you will see new hotels, homes and offices being built. Donald Trump is building his high-end condos. Next to Hilton on the Strip, is a new set of condos for rental. Search any real estate sites such as rentmarketer.com and others, you will realize how important housing is in this area. I drove by some construction sites. That's when I realized that the American Dream is accessible. All along, I saw there were two group of workers, the foremen, contractor and employee contractors. There were very few non-immigrants. Immigrants have been dreaming of improving their conditions. From those who laid foundation, the framers, plumbers, roofers, electricians, cabinet makers, and landscapes, the workers were immigrants. They are building homes from California to Phoenix and Las Vegas. They also want a piece of the American Dream.
