This is very strange I was looking at Las Vegas and it does not look urban like or suburb like but a modified urban city with nothing but homes .
The city is compact and densely packed but less compact and densely packed than New York. It does not have a suburb feel but it has a city feel why is that?
They use the grid-system and every thing is compact and densely packed. But they are using strip malls not storefronts. What is strange I can't find any box stores or power centers.
Many strip malls and parking lots. But it has a city feel not a suburb feel that is what is so strange.
I took some screen shots using Virtual Earth at

see Las Vegas link to see more shots

Note you can zoom in and out and move around the city to see what I mean, I only took some screen shots. And some of the new areas in Las Vegas are not on the classic grid system but a modified grid system.
Also does anyone know what is
uniform moderate density and
uniformly urban?
