Largest Industries
Tourism drives the economy in Las Vegas, with 37 million people visiting the city each year. In 2004, 20 percent of all jobs were gaming-related. While the entertainment and service industries are, collectively, the largest employers in Las Vegas, the major single employer is the Clark County School District.
Las Vegas has been trying to expand its manufacturing and research base. There have been some positive signs from the World Market Center being developed in the city and opening of Lou Ruvo Alzheimer's Institute in 2007 in addition to many smaller businesses.
Constant population growth means that the housing construction industry is vitally important. In 2000 more than 21,000 new homes and 26,000 resale homes were purchased; more than one third of Las Vegas homes are only five years old or less.
