Southern Nevada has made big strides when it comes to health care in the region, adding a medical school at UNLV and hosting two private schools for doctors. But it still has a long way to go, and a lot of money required to get there.

Some players say those perks are getting harder to come by, even as casinos appear to be leaning more on amenities beyond the casino floor. Las Vegas casinos saw an 11% drop in gaming wins from January 2025 to January 2026.

The Lincy Institute at UNLV reports that Nevada is still missing about 30 percent of the healthcare jobs it should have. A lack of residency spots is pushing many newly trained doctors out of the state.

Institutional investors, Wall Street backed-hedged funds and corporate owners have long played a significant role in Las Vegas’ housing market as a recent report from UNLV’s Lied Center for Real Estate — which pulled its data from Redfin — estimates investors have purchased more than 99,000 homes since the start of the Great Recession.

In 1953, Marble Manor became home to a growing number of Las Vegas residents at a time when adequate housing was scarce — especially for African-Americans who were barred from living in many parts of the city. What began as a necessary housing development soon became a cornerstone of community life on the Historic Westside. Now, as we prepare to launch an oral history project and documentary chronicling Marble Manor’s legacy, we are asking for your help.
