American West originated with a man of modest means whose family dreamed of owning a new home. His goal became providing new homes to families like his own. His determination has led to immense success and to the creation of a company known as American West.

That man is Larry Canarelli. He has devoted himself to building new homes for the families of Southern Nevada with the highest ethical standards and integrity. Home by home, he built the company's reputation of "The Best Built Homes in America."

He attributes much of American West's success to remaining a privately held company. Unlike many national, public-owned homebuilders, the staff and leaders of American West are here in Las Vegas. They are our homeowners, neighbors and citizens of Las Vegas. Just like his employees, Larry and his wife have raised their own family in this incredible city. Everyone at American West is firmly embedded in the community. This commitment 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 commitment to a lifelong goal drives himself and his company on a daily basis. Larry's greatest accomplishment is the joy he sees in each and every one of our homeowners as they move into their new American West home.
