"There is still a lot of interest in Las Vegas," said Murad. "Our roundtable on Thursday and the panel on Friday were one of the most attended during the conference. Developers, lenders, and hotel operators are very interested in capitalizing on Vegas opportunities."

The panelists collectively addressed the topic and fielded several audience questions involving the changing market, how to launch a successful condo-hotel project, the benefits of buying a condo-hotel, buyer demographics, and projected Las Vegas market trends.
