Fueled by the explosive growth of Las Vegas, the second fastest-growing city of the US in 2020, Clark County has registered significant economic expansion in recent years.
 
The hospitality and tourism industries, of course, are a major engine of the local economy. Notably, the manufacturing and mining industries in the region are the leading contributors to the local boom.
 
It’s not surprising that this expansion, and the accompanying growth of the housing market, would generate issues in financial litigation with the lenders and mortgage loan originators of the area, whether commercial loans or consumer loans such as residential mortgages.
