Since Nevada 1.0 has kind of crashed, now is as good a time as any for a reboot. Enter Nevada 2.0, a conference that state leaders hope will help us power up again.

States in the Intermountain West like Nevada are likely to face budget challenges over the next decade. The reason? Poor planning and a lack of foresight in budget planning. That's according to a new report from Brookings Mountain West at UNLV. So do Nevadans and the state's elected leaders have the will to make things change?

Nevada is struggling against its epic fiscal crisis with the hope that when the recession finally subsides, governments will no longer face budget deficits.

Short-term fixes have masked longer-range issues with the state budget, a new report concludes.

Arizona suffers not only from a massive cyclical deficit but also a gargantuan structural deficit.

A report issued today by a regional think tank concludes that Nevada will have a tough time economically over the next 10 years and that state government revenue shortfalls cannot be handled only by cutting spending.

With Las Vegas’ economy among the worst in the world and studies urging more be done to help future growth, the state’s political leaders are holding a conference before the Nevada Legislature convenes to discuss diversifying the economy.

As a transient bunch, Las Vegans have historically shunned social connections. But a sense of community could grow from housing bog.

If highfliers such as Nevada and Arizona had not been battered by a troubled economy and the collapse of the housing market, the 2010 Census population counts released Tuesday might have been very different for the whole country.
