It’s gratifying to see the continued growth, and the commitment to Las Vegas throughout the outdoor industry – having over a dozen of our tenants participate in our furniture giveaway promotion speaks volumes. Looking ahead, we continue to explore new ways to add value for all of our customers – our greatest asset.”
