The Las Vegas area from space - The Red Rocks area is west (left in the
photo) of the city. Black Velvet Canyon is toward the bottom of the main
(light-brown) row of cliffs. Lake Powell and Hoover Dam are clearly visible.
There has been substantial further urban sprawl since this photo was taken,
right up to the park boundaries.
