Gaming Impact Study

Prepared a study on the economic, fiscal, and social impacts that the hospitality industry has on the State of Nevada. This review included consideration of direct and indirect employment, wage, and output impacts. The project also required an in-depth analysis of Nevada's municipal revenue and expense structure. State, county and local taxes were analyzed, and the hospitality industry's contribution estimated. Social impact factors reviewed included population growth, employment and unemployment, public service costs, social assistance programs, crime rate and under-age and problem gambling. In addition, the evolution of the gaming and hospitality industry, Nevada's regulatory structure, and current market indicators were also reviewed.
