Q: How do you decompress after a hard week?

Q: What is the biggest challenge facing Las Vegas in the next five years?
A: One of the biggest challenges Las Vegas will face in the next five years is how to keep up with the incredible growth. This city has always been known for its hospitality services, but now it’s growing and becoming more prominent in areas like real estate, athletics and cuisine.
