How Nevada Beckons Young Professionals to Las Vegas

Nevada has consistently enacted laws to attract investors, developers and tourists from all over the globe to Las Vegas. The rich and famous have set a trend of owning a piece of Las Vegas realty, no matter where they reside and work. Dreaming of fantastic adventures on the Strip catches the fancy of rich and middle-class alike. Special neighborhoods with amenities for senior citizens have also been successful in bringing in folk from all over the United States to Las Vegas as they approach retirement.

Never content with past achievements and present status, Nevada legislators keep applying their minds to how the long term interests of Las Vegas can best be served. We find reflections of this in new commercial real estate projects, industrial parks, state-of-the-art logistics and liberal tax regimes. Some effects may be indirect, and I see new signs of young professionals opting to give their careers a head start in Las Vegas.

The greater metropolitan area is a growing market for a variety of professional services. The mix of demographic segments lends variety and balance to the work and assignments available, and the future prospects appear both attractive and durable. Young doctors, lawyers and accountants find the work culture of Las Vegas stimulating with the best recreation options anywhere, and a tax environment that promotes enterprise and asset creation. A recent trend of some, who have tasted success in the greater metropolitan area of Las Vegas, is to liquidate properties to realize high cash appreciation for reinvestment, while continuing to occupy such premises on lease. Such a move optimizes the present value of wealth while giving location stability to a professional practice. Such an approach also frees busy people to attend to their professions without the time-consuming affairs of owning realty. Renting back property from buyers of your property has twin benefits for people in the thick of careers and who have invested soon after finishing with college.

It is this kind of innovation that continues to attract top US talent to Las Vegas. It is such a great place to work, have a ball and make top dollars all at the same time! Job growth in Las Vegas hovers at just a notch below 4%, which is good news for all professional services. Developers go about new projects with great enthusiasm and energy as they try and match new space with demand for real estate in Las Vegas. Naturally, this has an aerial effect on rents, which are slated to climb by 4-6%. Experts see the trend of folk moving in from California to continue.

Overall, it appears that the demand for both residential real estate and for office space will continue to show strong demand growth in Las Vegas, and that there is matching demand for professional services from all sectors of the economy. Nevada works hard at visioning a future for Las Vegas which will keep the present trend curve with its head high!
