All it takes is a plan, some land and one high-roller and you could be on your way to a lucrative future. Right now, the starting bid for 10 acres in New Mexico (near Las Vegas) is only $800. For true visionaries and investors with enough cajoles to sign off on some venture capital, this could be quite the gem.

Construction and development has got to be more than fairly priced in this location, so build a modest mansion and a private jet airstrip and then lure in just one high-roller. Then, you let the magic of word of mouth go to business for you as high-rollers are almost always heavily connected. If they tell just one of their friends, then your business is off and running as Vegas’ best-kept secret.
