LV business leaders, experts to tackle what’s next for economy
With the Las Vegas economy mired in a deep recession, some are suggesting it’s time for the community to hit the reset button.
That is the topic for the Lied Institute for Real Estate Studies, which will host its 12th-annual round table Aug. 19 and 20.
About 80 business leaders, academics and politicians will discuss “What’s Happened? What’s Next?’’ The group will assess what happened to Las Vegas in the past 18 months and what can be done for future growth.
“We sort of felt it was time for people to hit the reset button and find out how we can get out of this,” said Debra March, Lied Institute’s executive director. “It is no different then when a computer crashes. We have been through a difficult downward spiral as a community, and it is time to reboot.”
The round table, whose recommendations will be part of a white paper, will talk about various segments of the business community, including commercial and residential real estate, hospitality, gaming, retail, finance and support professions. There will be sessions on the public sector, education, health, culture, energy and environment. Read more:
