Thanks.. I spoke with XYZ Company who after doing some research indicated the photo for their ad came from the company that was in control of the job (main contractor) and the project was similar in nature to the location in AZ. So they basically referred me to this main company (ABC) who provided the image. So they are basically saying it's not there fault and also understand the location is not the location being portrayed.
So, I will call this other company in Vegas tomorrow and my expectation is they will try to dismiss it as a mistake. However, I can't except that. I explained to the XYZ company that my concern is for the customers that actually purchased to have large poster prints made. They did not get any files and the prints averaged between 350 and 450 depending on framing. So, I will send a bill to the company being advertised for $2400.00 with a net 30 day , and explain they can pursue this expense from the ABC company for providing them with an image in an inappropriate manner. That's the plan. I'm pretty sure it will go ok, but not without some work. Then, I will pursue the other online sites doing similar advertising. I have a hotel chain with a location here using it on there front page as a local attraction.
I'll update as time moves on.

You could also track down whoever does their web hosting and inform them that there is unauthorized content on the site in question. That will often open a "second front" on the offending party.
Even to the extent that the hosting entity will shut down a site until the owner complies...

Thank you for the kind and toasty welcome !
