Why does the US have huge cities in the desert?

Question

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?

Answer 1

I mean.. Dubia.. Egyptian Cities.. Doha.. Baraihn (Spelling).. Kuwait.. so many places with desert cities that are huge… sometimes land is cheap and easy to build and as long as you can get supplies there, then you can build.
