However, things have been recovering steadily since then, with building starts up, home sales up, and other industries - like tourism and hospitality - recovering now as well.

We deal a lot with tourists and tourism, and many people come here and buy second homes and investment and rental properties.

If there was some issue 30 years ago, it would probably have to be fraud related, that's a personality matter that doesn't go away, all other matters can be chalked up to circumstances or youth, if he was a Viet Nam protester or got busted in the 60s, use some common sense.

@Randy Benglan It's exciting to hear that tourism in your area is booming.  

This town has it all: waterfront, tourism, steady military presence, slums, burbs, etc. something for everyone. 

The community tolerated these establishments – but the political leadership didn't want any blind pigs in the new Model City area.On this particular night, at this particular club, the community was celebrating the return of two Vietnam War veterans.

If you believe Las Vegas will decline in the future, then you have to also believe that tourism will decline, and people will stop travelling, and taking vacations, and enjoying themselves. 

Of course, tourism has always been one of our biggest industry and the last few years...at least in certain areas...have also seen more and more landlords turning their rentals into vacation rentals instead of the more traditional long-term type of rental. 

Nice guy, very well known in financial circles in Sing, HK, Vietnam, Malaysia etc.

But you're also coming from a place of not understanding what you are doing when you do this.By overpaying relative to the value there, because the worth to you is so much less, you trap people into tourism jobs instead of jobs that will help their economy.
