Ex-Nevada archivist: Next decade not so bright
Guy Rocha, Las Vegas Sun
I’m not hopeful for 2020. Some think CityCenter is the start of a return to the heyday, but those people are living in the past.
By 2020, the casino business will no longer be the state’s cash cow for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that the number of competitors in the legalized gambling business just keeps growing. I don’t expect Nevada’s gambling industry will have dried up and blown away by 2020, but I expect more casinos will close over the course of the next 10 years.
