Q: What is the biggest challenge facing Las Vegas in the next five years?
A: My outlook on Southern Nevada’s biggest challenges includes housing costs and the recovery of our local job market.

Job recovery relies on consumer spending, but that improvement depends on the path of the coronavirus and how it affects the leisure and hospitality industry.
