Narrative:

Cleared for a visual approach to runway 1R in las. We installed the RNAV (GPS) runway 1R approach into the FMGC as a backup. Weather was clear and visibility unlimited in day VMC conditions. While on a right base approximately .5 miles east of the FAF; galne; descending through approximately 4;100 feet at a rate of descent of about 800-1000 fpm; we received a GPWS 'terrain; terrain; pull up; pull up' warning. Although in day visual conditions with obstacles clearly in sight; I increased thrust and transitioned to a shallow climb. The GPWS warning immediately ceased. I was still in a position to make a stabilized approach so I returned to the profile and completed the approach without further incident.

Title: A319 First Officer experiences a GPWS terrain warning during a day visual approach to Runway 1R at LAS. Although the aircraft appears to be clear of terrain; power is added and the warning immediately stops. A normal landing ensues.
