Thanks for stopping by Chelle,

Watch out for the gas prices… soon to go back up with recent developments taking place that have not been breaking news headlines due to all of the other headlines taking place.

That’s good news to hear! I am not sad about gas prices coming down or other prices falling too much either, though ours have not been very drastic. The main big concern with out local economy are the potential layoffs and lack of businesses coming into town – but for many there’s finally some breathing room to actually go out and do things again.

Thanks Masoud,

I should have clarified that what the time period of 2003 through 2006 created in terms of community is what no long term residents of Las Vegas really desired.

Cookie cutter subdivisions with no thought but on how to squeeze as many homes on a plat of land as possible, high real estate prices for those who really needed to buy to live in Las Vegas, Higher prices for entertainment… etc..etc..

Yes.. we certainly added some very high quality casinos with the amazing City Center project coming soon that will benefit our future… but there are plenty of things that were added that are highly questionable in creating any community value to be polite.

You have hit the target. Very good blog. But I can’t say I wish 2003-2006 never happened because we added City Center, and 7-8 major casinos in the same period that will help our future here.

I agree that Las Vegas has to become a value destination again in order to prosper.
