reporting: Have I lost my mind? Or is the media once again misstating facts about the Las Vegas real estate market? - 08/01/08 09:26 PM
Recently, I have seen several (over ten) articles come out saying that the Las Vegas real estate market had the biggest one-month drop in the nation. The reports said the drop was 29 percent in the month of May 2008.

In another example of how the media refuses to share much of anything positive about the Las Vegas real estate market, a luxury condominium sale in Los Angeles is receiving MAJOR exposure for setting a local price-per-foot record, while a similar penthouse sale in Las Vegas (on a price-per-square-foot basis), continues to be ignored.

reporting: Clearing the air about several Las Vegas residential high-rise condo records. - 07/15/08 02:42 PM
Recently, it seems there has been some confusion by various websites and/or persons in regards to several Las Vegas price-per-square-foot records that were set at MGM MIRAGE CityCenter.

According to a recent article released by Reuters, Las Vegas earned just over a billion dollars in April 2008. The figure represents a 5.1 percent gaming-revenue decrease from April 2007.

Fun in the sun - yesterday, several negative stories blasted the Las Vegas high-rise condo market. This time, the doom-fodder included deaths, a strike, and a hotel cancellation. One article even reported approx. double the true number of high-rise condominium units under construction. Umm, I think my cocktail umbrella is broken.

Today, before I opened my AOL email I noticed a headline that read "Steep Drop Predicted for Home Prices". While the market is bad I do not believe that this type of reporting is genuine.
