Weighted together, Las Vegas wages are 0.97 times the national level. Labor makes up about 61% of the midpoint estimate (60% at national prices).
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Las Vegas is at 96.3 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,500 nationally becomes $1,450 here (midpoint, 300 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 100.2: $0 to $350.
Who does the work: Las Vegas trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Las Vegas the blend is 0.97.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $23.19 an hour, which is in line with the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $19.36 and $30.14 an hour. BLS counts 8,280 of them working in the area, 72.8 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
For brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021, weighted 30%) the local median is $26.72 an hour, which is 11% below the national $29.87. The middle half of them earn between $24.07 and $29.54 an hour. BLS counts 690 of them working in the area, 6.1 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.4), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers (37-3011), 20% of the weighting: a median of $18.23 an hour, 3% below the US median of $18.82. The middle half of them earn between $17.56 and $22.21 an hour. About 7,220 work in the metro. That is 63.5 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 61.3 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $390 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $220. That is a swing of roughly 5.3% to 9.5% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas has 1,136,960 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 26th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

The best months for paver patio in Las Vegas
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Las Vegas Air Terminal (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For digging, grading and setting material in the ground, the comfortable months in Las Vegas are October through May: 8 of 12. Outside them, June, July, August and September have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Las Vegas gets about 4 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are January, February and March (0.8 inches in February). Inside the workable window, April and May are the driest, at 0.2 and 0.1 inches. The station averages about 136 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
