Vegas explodes

Here's a set of satellite photos taken over 25 years that shows the pace of urban growth in Las Vegas from 1984 to 2009.

Each picture on the page can be selected to see a bigger perspective of the Las Vegas area.

[Update] I took the 1984 and 2009 photos and shrunk them down, then applied some exaggerated contrast and colour saturation to distinguish the urban areas from the desert.
