23 Dec 09 When Las Vegas Fails, You Win!

Have you noticed that your company is no longer sending you to Las Vegas, Nevada for conventions, business meetings, or stress-break weekends? Las Vegas has noticed.

• During the first three-quarters of year 2009, the Las Vegas visitor head-counts are down 3.9% that they are aware of. All visitors to the area are not counted individually in this estimate.
• During the first three-quarters of year 2009, unemployment is registering at 13.9% for the unemployed that are still able to get unemployment benefits.
• During November 2009, the city of Las Vegas ranked number 5 in the United States for housing foreclosures. This number is down from their rankings of the number one city for foreclosures almost every month since year 2007.
• The Las Vegas school system is cracking. As unemployed people turn to colleges for new skills, the colleges cannot handle the overloads. Classes overfill quickly then become unavailable. As families leave to keep their student funding, foreclosures continue, and elementary school registration drops.

What does this mean for company who is planning their next business meeting? GO!

The greater Las Vegas area is offering wonderful incentives to business travelers all over town, in all types of industries. Great efforts are being made to attract enough money to ride-out this economic disaster.
