If LV can find a way to provide affordable healthcare for the early retirees (50-64) crowd then I think more of these people will feel secure enough to spend their disposable income and help revitialize LV.

It's very difficult for the early retirees to move without affordable health insurance. Some are forced to stay with their current job eventhough they can financially retire in order to have affordable health insurance. Some can't relocate to LV because their current health insurance is not portable under the current law.

Interesting, I just saw Wynn talk about that and how the politicians won't touch the real issues to help make it affordable:

I've been lost in a maze of plan searching, deciphering and quotes from Aetna's zillion plans and i'm still confused.

$248 a month doesn't sound right, not for a family of 4.

We're under 40, 2 young toddlers. Anyone want to take a guess at what average coverage might run us? Been a long time since we've been in the USA, self employed, all healthy. Looks like we're required to get some, everyone.

So then it's possible ($248)... I was thinking $1,200 a month, least that's what my Dad in TN was saying.

Better than what we have, which is nada. Who are you using now?

I'm covered myself, so I don't know how health care is affecting the influx of seniors. But it appears that it hasn't kept the senior population from growing into one of the largest in the country from what I hear. The Summerlin Sun City alone has over 100,000 from what I understand. And, don't we have at least four or five (maybe more) age restricted communities? I have nothing against seniors as I'm nearly middle aged myself , but wouldn't a city of nothing but old farts cause more problems than solutions? I'm just asking...

The baby boomer market is a key to Vegas recovery. Go to any McCasino or atlantic city and see what age group is the largest at one it sure is not the younger bunch. Retirement is a good job you do not get laid off. This group of people are educated and will provide a great base for part time employment if they desire it. Vegas had the weather superior to the south no humidity,we life in A/C during the summer here on the east coast because of it so not much of a change going to the southwest. Health insurance is a challange anywhere in the USA. Please read up on the universal health care which will kick in 2014. The taxes in Nevada are resonable compared to most other states and that is a big factor for seniors. Food is cheap entertainment plentiful housing available and crime is not that bad. Nevada is a diamond in the rough. Most seniors are very self sufficent they have a stedy income. You may hear complaints about snow birds or grey hairs but I never heard the complainers whining about the money they spend. So look up Vegas has to market this vast group.
