A new year is upon us and things are looking up, especially if you are planning on buying a home in Las Vegas this year and here is the why its a great time to buy in Las Vegas. Last year has been pretty rough on a lot of consumers and businesses as well. Many projects lost funding and were unable to find a new source, resulting in a lot of closures or abandonments of projects around town. One project did beat the odds, the Cosmopolitan. The lender had an affiliate buy up the property and the original contractor is working on its completion. Really its not surprising since the Cosmo is located on the strip next door to the massive CityCenter project.

Speaking of CityCenter, they officially started the hiring process to fill some 12,000 positions when the resort opens. The resort is due to open at the end of this year. -cr
