Jobs & Economy in Spring Valley
Spring Valley functions as a genuine bedroom community within the Las Vegas Valley -- most residents commute to the Strip, downtown Las Vegas, or Harry Reid International Airport rather than working within Spring Valley itself -- with real, local employment anchored by Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center and the Chinatown Plaza/Spring Mountain Road retail and dining corridor.
