A mix of grass roots neighborhood uproar over party houses in residential neighborhoods and quiet lobbying from the Las Vegas resort operators.

You don't have such experience in both organizations and have resorted now to name calling,  trying to defame my character instead of actually sticking to the topic at hand.  

Sometimes people stuck in bad business problems resort to fraud as a way to get out of it.

My area is considered a resort area so YES it is legal.  

Below are some of the major projects currently under construction (not just planning): Sphere Las Vegas - $75MResorts World Las Vegas - $7BDrew Las Vegas - $3BRaider's Stadium - $2BLas Vegas convention center expansion - $750MGoogle - $600M data centerUnion Village - $1.2BProject Neon - $900MPalms Casino Resort Renovation - $690MCaesars Forum Conference Center - $375MThere are many other projects underway but the above are the largest we know of.

Despite being considered an expert, I tell other that I only use it as the tool of last resort.

Standard of living is so much better elsewhere.I'll happily pay taxes and live here, in my much larger than 900 sq/ft house that I paid just over $200K for, (my master bath has so much floor to ceiling travertine, you'd think you were in a Vegas hotel - far cry from a shack) where I have a dozen palm trees on my 1/4 acre yard with a pond, 365 day a year vegetable & herb garden, 300+ days a year of not just sunshine, but clear skies and shorts/t-shirt & flip-flops weather, beaches, snow, mountains, desert, forests and resort living lifestyle, (not even to mention the absurd income opportunities) than get paid to live in Washington.

I will have to look a little further away, and I am considering the fact a property in Chicago would be a schlepp, whereas an apartment near to where I am in the town would be manageable myself (my wife is also a home maker and so she would prolly try it out before resorting to a PM).I like the math working out where if you have to go to a PM worse-case, the math still endures.  

Treat yourself once and while, but that treat might be a night out for dinner, not a weekend skiing at a high end resort. 

A few years later I bought a home in Florida (cash), took my (contracted) 6 week vacations every Dec-Jan at all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean & took several (unpaid leave) visits to family in Australia.
