The region is as characteristic of the southwest as a landscape can be and draws rock climbers from around the world to its trad, sport and big wall routes. The developer in question won a court battle over zoning restrictions relative to housing density.

While it pays to be objective in cases that become hot ticket items for those who closely follow local politics, there is little argument that should this crack in the dam expand, Red Rock will soon make it’s way on to the amenities list of the next mega-casino. Currently, the state is appealing the developer’s victory and appears to have a chance.

However, the odds of the Las Vegas region being able to support another housing community are slim to none, closer to none. The city is already a hotbed of foreclosure, short sales and destitute real estate agents. If you care about climbing, you should care about this issue. It’s a big deal.
