In this case, the 702 code has been Overlayed with the 725 area code. New phone numbers in the Vegas Heights area will be assigned with one of these codes: 702 or 725. As a result, placing a call in the Vegas Heights area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
