Now surrounded by homes, parks and shopping centers one of three rock quarries in the southwest part of Las Vegas is quiet this Saturday morning. Newcomers drive by with hardly a glance and old timers can drive right up to the opening on paved roads where years ago it was a rugged dirt and rocky road to the location.
Las Vegas even in a housing slump still continues to slowly move further west filling in the gaps between the city and Red rock ad Blue diamond desert areas.
