Las Vegas, NV
Currently Las Vegas has two first-generation gyms that have built a pretty good-sized climbing community. The area, which has some of the country’s best rock climbing and is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country, is primed for either a traditional gym or even better, a bouldering gym.
Opening a gym near the 27,000 students of UNLV in the south west part of town is a no brainer but may be expensive as it is also close to the airport and the Strip. So look to SE Vegas with its large 50 mph corridors that make it easy for people to get to your front door from anywhere in the city.
