The biggest problem Las Vegas faces today is its 5.3% unemployment rate. The city of Las Vegas shed thousands of jobs from September to November 2025, particularly in leisure and hospitality and construction, due to a tourism downturn. The public in general has reduced their spending because the cost of living has become the number one issue, with grocery prices rising, healthcare costs skyrocketing, and car insurance and repair costs increasing every month, to name a few. To make up the difference, the fees, parking costs, alcoholic drink prices, restaurant meals, and hotel stays have all gone up dramatically. As a result, a new, not particularly successful strategy has emerged. Corporations are emphasising attracting the ultra-rich to cut costs, increase profitability, and streamline expenses. Added to this, in many casinos, floors have been closed off, poker tables have been shut down, cutting back on attractions and their associated costs, and other cost-saving measures have been implemented. As a consequence, many of the supporting personnel and gaming staff are no longer needed. Added to this, the Las Vegas appearance now looks deserted compared to the bustling streets that it once was.

            The question that has to be asked what else needs to be done in Las Vegas.

The cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act can be amended or repealed, but it requires a 2/3 majority in the House and the Senate.

If any presidential executive orders are deemed unfavorable by the citizens of the United States, again it can be amended or repealed by the majority in both chambers.




Housing cost up by 47% : Limiting home purchases by corporate home purchases or by investers groups, combating price gouging, and increased oversight by state agencies and federal oversight by Congress and the Senate.




Cost of grocery shopping at over 20%: Investigations by state and federal agencies including by Congress and the Senate of unfair high prices by companies. Stricter oversight and new consumer protection laws. Mandating by pulling products off the shelves if companies don't comply.
