Part of it is because the cities are new. Las Vegas was just a little town 75 years ago.
Another part of it is cheaper land. There's no real need for landowners to build upward.
Finally, part of it is that the metro areas are not that big. Las Vegas doesn't really go much farther than Boulder City or Summerlin. You can drive 20 miles from Downtown Las Vegas and you're in the middle of the desert. But 20 miles from Downtown Boston are places like Brockton, Foxboro, Framingham, Waltham, etc.
