  • City of Las Vegas Data Book
    082011B City of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development Department & Redevelopment Agency Economic and Urban Development Introduction Economic and Urban Develpment Department The Economic and Urban Development Department (EUD) creates, coordinates and encourages new development and redevelopment throughout the city of Las Vegas. It increases and diversifies the city’s economic base, and creates jobs, through business attraction, retention and expansion programs. In addition, this newly expanded department now includes employees who oversee and manage local, state and federal grants used to provide public services, develop public facilities and support affordable housing for low income Las Vegas families. The majority of grants are received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of entitlement funding. These grants are used for homeless services and shelter, senior nutrition, rent assistance and new construction of affordable housing and community centers, to name a few. The EUD coordinates with the city of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency on day-to-day operations, economic development, job creation and long-term strategic goals. Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency The Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency (RDA) promotes the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas and surrounding older commercial districts by working with developers, property owners and the community to accomplish beneficial revitalization efforts, create jobs and eliminate urban decay. The Las Vegas Redevelopment Area encompasses 3,948 acres. The area roughly includes the greater downtown Las Vegas area east of I-15, south of Washington Avenue, north of Sahara Avenue and west of Maryland Parkway. It also includes the Charleston Boulevard, Martin L. King Boulevard and Eastern Avenue corridors.

  • 50 Ways Vegas Has Changed Since Frommer's 1998
    50 Ways Vegas Has Changed Since Frommer’s 1998 vegasbright.com/2017/03/22/50-ways-vegas-has-changed-since-frommers-1998/ By ShortArmsDeepPockets 3/22/2017 ShortArmsDeepPockets explores 50 Ways Vegas Has Changed since 1998. As I sat around daydreaming about my upcoming Vegas trip (#21 and counting), I got to reminiscing about my first trip. Back in 1999, I had picked up a discounted copy of Frommer’s 1998 travel guide for Las Vegas. It was slightly out of date by the time we traveled 18 months after its publishing date. Fast forward 18 years and that out-of-date guide is nothing short of a time machine! I dug it up out of storage and, within a few pages, realized I had struck historical and nostalgia gold. One could write an entire book about all the things that are different about Vegas from 1998 until today, but I tried to trim it to the top 50 changes. REST IN PEACE Some of the individuals mentioned in the Guide have passed into the Great Beyond. Noteworthy passings include: 50. Debbie Reynolds: In 1998, Debbie Reynolds was quite prominent on the Las Vegas scene, as subsequent entries will demonstrate. We lost Debbie in 2016, a day after the passing of her daughter Carrie Fisher. 49 Jackie Gaughan: Las Vegas icon Jackie Gaughan was best known for his ownership of the Plaza back in 1998 (“Jackie Gaughan’s Plaza”); however, over his 64-year career in the gaming industry he also owned the El Cortez, Gold Spike, Las Vegas Club, and other properties Downtown.
