Why Las Vegas Works Differently

Las Vegas is the strongest ATM market in the country per capita, but the Strip is locked up by contract — the opportunity is in locals-market bars, off-Strip taverns and the Spring Mountain corridor.

With a metro population of 650K in the Southwest, the districts worth working first are The Strip, Fremont East, Spring Mountain Road and Henderson. These are where the location types below actually cluster — a route built around them will cover more qualifying businesses per mile than one built around zip-code radius alone.
