Preview 2018
Last Friday, Team Stat Pack presented 66 riveting slides to attendees at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber’s Preview event. They provided an economic snapshot for Southern Nevada, the U.S. and the planet at large. We have received many requests for the slide show, so here it is in all its glory: the 2018 Preview slides.
Our Preview 2017 Presentation
Billed by the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce as “the Freakonomics of Las Vegas,” the Stat Pack team this week presented a top-down 2017 economic overview at Preview Las Vegas, the biggest gathering of Nevada business professionals each year.
