American West originated with a man of modest means whose family dreamed of owning a new home. That man is Larry Canarelli. He has devoted himself to building new homes for the families of Las Vegas with the highest ethical standards and integrity. Home by home, he built the company's reputation of "The Best Built Homes in America." His heart and soul is put into every new home American West builds.

Unlike many national, public-owned homebuilders, the staff and leaders of American West are here in Las Vegas. Just like his employees, Larry and his wife have raised their own family in this incredible city. Las Vegas is our city - we have been here since 1984 and we are here to stay. Larry's commitment to this incredible city was never more evident than with the naming of the Canarelli Middle School in Coronado Ranch.

Larry's dream is coming true with the over 15,000 homeowners who have joined the American West family. His greatest accomplishment is the joy he sees in each and every one of our homeowners as they move into their new American West home.
