<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I have been looking at the OSM data
for Las Vegas and there are some serious problems for it.
The OSM boundary for Las Vegas encompasses about half of the
city. Certain areas of Las Vegas, including Paradise,
Enterprise, Spring Valley and probably others are not within
the city boundaries defined in OSM. To fix this I need to
expand the Las Vegas boundaries to encompass of these
sections. I have been looking and cannot find a way to do
this efficiently. Does anybody know of a way (aside from
doing this manually) of expanding and area to encompass
another?</span></p>

i suggest you look at the TIGER 2013 places file for Nevada and see
what<br>
the border is there; you may want to drop the current border and use
the<br>
latest TIGER border.<br>
<br>
you can grab the 2013 places files here:<br>

<br>
if you need help getting the boundary polygon out of the shapefile,
let<br>
me know, i can give you a process for that.<br>
