Megalopolis

          The French geographer Jean Gottmann is known to have created the term Megalopolis. Megalopolis means a very large, heavily populated city or urban complex. It originally formed along the northeastern coast of the United States. States include Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and parts of Virginia, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

Nevada, although growing in population steadily, is not considered a member of Megalopolis. However, the Megalopolis regions in Southern California does include the city of Las Vegas.

With a low population density throughout the state, Megalopolis is not a possibility. There are far too many areas across Nevada where populations are scarce simply because cities have yet to be developed. It also doesn't help that the economy along with the housing crisis is making it even less attractive for people interested in moving to the state of Nevada.
