Formula 1

In its second year in Las Vegas, the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix cemented its place as a mega-event for Southern Nevada. Race week drew 306,000 attendees, including nearly 175,000 visitors from around the world who spent more than $2,400 each on non-race activities, nearly twice that of the typical Las Vegas visitor. Total economic activity reached $934 million, including $556 million tied to visitor spending and substantial investments in infrastructure and operations. Beyond the numbers, the Grand Prix supports local initiatives and community programs and continues to deliver lasting benefits to the region’s economy and residents.

Las Vegas Stadium Authority

Allegiant Stadium was a transformational centerpiece in solidifying Las Vegas as the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World. Under the oversight of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority, the state-of-the-art facility provided a new home for the Raiders of the National Football League and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels football team. In addition to its permanent tenants, the stadium has hosted dozens of sports and entertainment events, including Super Bowl LVIII, international soccer matches, and concerts from the biggest names in music. Allegiant Stadium was ranked the top stadium in the U.S. for live events by Billboard Magazine's 2024 year-end report; it has become a foundational element of the region’s tourism-based economy.

Elaine P. Wynn & Family Foundation

The Las Vegas Museum of Art is set to transform Symphony Park and elevate Southern Nevada’s cultural scene with its debut as the region’s first nationally accredited art museum. This visionary $150 million project will span 90,000 square feet and bring world-class exhibitions, education programs and creative experiences to the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. With more than 325,000 visitors expected each year, the museum is projected to generate over $180 million in annual economic activity and support more than 860 local jobs. Construction alone will fuel nearly $200 million in economic output. Slated to break ground in 2026 and open in 2028, the museum promises to be a dynamic catalyst for arts, tourism and community engagement in Southern Nevada.

Applied Analysis knows Southern Nevada, from the bighorn sheep in Boulder City to the Mt. Charleston summit, we’ve seen it all. In this analysis, our commitment to understanding the region’s challenges through data-driven and community-informed research yielded critical insights. This blighted area study has helped inform the CCRDA’s efforts to mitigate economic disrepair in our community. As a result, the CCRDA established four new redevelopment areas spanning a combined 1,400 acres.

Strengthen Our Community

In the first years following the disruption of in-person education due to COVID-19, the rate of chronic absenteeism skyrocketed nationwide. Despite efforts to reduce this in the years since, the rate of chronic absenteeism in Southern Nevada remains elevated at 31.3 percent in 2024, 9.4 percentage points higher than in 2019. The lifetime community cost of this elevated rate persisting over the next 20 years is $14.4 billion. Our analysis on this subject has been used to raise funding for local family resource centers, inform policy discussions, and support the placement of support staff in every Washoe County middle school.
