Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Phoenix, etc. I can understand part of the appeal (like Las Vegas), and it’s not like people haven’t lived in desert cities for millenia, but looking at them from Google Earth, they’re absolutely massive and sprawling. How can these places be viable to live in and grow so huge? What’s so appealing to them?

I may be completely wrong about this as it’s been 15 years since I learned this in school (and the UK as well) but one other aspect that I haven’t seen from the comments yet are Mormans.
Not saying they’re the only reason, but they kept being driven out of towns so they eventually set up their own places away from everyone (I. E. The desert) and just kept either founding new places or being driven out again (memory is a bit foggy). They were involved with at least Salt Lake City and Las Vegas if I’m not mistaken.
