Vegas strip still holds its own Posted: 17 Sep 2007 04:22 PM CDT Apparently the "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ad campaign was a success. Despite increased competition from Native American casinos and overseas, gaming revenue for July of 07 increased by 10.3% compared to July of 2006. Overall, there was a 4.6% increase fiscally from 2006, according to the figures released by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board. As a result, Clark County had a 13% increase in revenue compared to last year. For residents and potential residents, that's great news. With tourism increasing every year, more and more resorts are being built to accommodate them. As a result, construction is still going strong on and around the strip, employing thousands of people, not to mention the jobs created after the projects are completed. The revitalization of downtown Las Vegas is also showing the fruits of its labor. According to the Gaming Control board, July of 2007 showed the highest gaming revenues for downtown since 2004. Some of the downtown loft projects have been completed which should also help spur gaming and entertainment revenue as well. Newport lofts should have residents moving in shortly. With the addition of the Echelon (located on the former Stardust site), I'm sure that there will be more significant increases in revenue. Not to mention the several other mega resorts under construction. It just goes to show you that even with increased competition all over the United States and overseas, nothing beats the Las Vegas experience.

High-rise proposal derailed by neighbors' protest Posted: 17 Sep 2007 04:18 PM CDT A six-building condominium/office project in northwest Las Vegas was bitterly opposed by residents who were concerned it would bring too many people and too much traffic to the suburban area. The project included two 12-story office towers, two 12-story condominium buildings, a parking garage and retail space on the southwest corner of Deer Springs Way and Durango Drive. The developer, Bernie Chippoletti, told the Review Journal that he would withdraw the application and possibly sell the land. Although the residents may have won this bout, it won't be long before another project comes along. The intersection where the project was supposed to be is slated for high-density development and has attracted the interest of two high-rise towers in two years. The strain of the growth and needs of the city are starting to weigh on citizens. As the city grows and develops, many residents fight tooth and nail to keep the urbanization away from their neighborhoods. While several residents acknowledge the need for development, many seem to revert to a "NIMBY" or "not in my backyard," mindset when the encroachment gets a little closer to home. They've found success at keeping developers at bay in the past, but it may only be a matter of time before high-density urban areas replace the suburban neighborhoods Las Vegas is used to.
