U-Haul 2016 Destination City No. 6: Las Vegas

U-Haul Destination Cities are ranked according to the total number of arriving one-way U-Haul truck rentals to a city in the past calendar year. Destination Cities do not account for departing traffic and thus do not necessarily reflect growth like U-Haul Growth Cities. Destination Cities reflect the volume and regularity of do-it-yourself movers coming into a community.

"Las Vegas has really transformed into a family destination," said Rick Faulk, U-Haul Company of Las Vegas East president. "Families are moving here because they understand that Las Vegas is a communal city."

U-Haul has 10 Company-owned stores and 61 independent neighborhood dealers within the city limits, and also offers many more locations to fulfill the needs of suburbs outside Las Vegas. Find U-Haul truck and trailer sharing locations in Las Vegas at uhaul.com/locations.

In addition, Henderson has shared in the attraction of new residents to Greater Las Vegas, recently having garnered the No. 7 spot on the list of top U-Haul U.S. Growth Cities for 2015.

"Las Vegas has always been a destination," said Mike Vargovich, U-Haul Company of Las Vegas West president. "We have the (NFL's) Raiders coming to town and a new (NHL) hockey stadium that was built. People are moving here because of our affordable housing and low cost of living. The lure of Las Vegas is as strong as ever."
