Variety Of Recessionary Forces Leave Las Vegas
Economy Scarred
A general view of part of downtown,
including Las Vegas Boulevard, on October 20, 2010 in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Nevada once had among the lowest unemployment rates in the
United States at 3.8 percent but has since fallen on difficult times.
Las Vegas, the gaming capital of America, has been especially hard
hit with unemployment currently at 14.7 percent and the highest
foreclosure rate in the nation. Among the sparkling hotels and
casinos downtown are dozens of dormant construction projects and
hotels offering rock bottom rates. As the rest of the country slowly
begins to see some economic progress, Las Vegas is still in the midst
of the economic downturn. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
