What is the approximate size (body length and leg span) of this spider?

If it's fairly decent size, it might be a southern house spider -

It was about an inch. I am located in Las Vegas if that helps narrow it down.

Likely a crevice spider (Filistatidae) related to the southern house spider mentioned earlier. Not dangerous.
