While fun and entertainment will always be a key industry in Sin City, Las Vegas is continually getting serious about business. A growing stream of companies is announcing expansions and investments here that have nothing to do with entertainment. This past summer, Bella + Canvas, Crocs, F of N and Nova Holdings all announced new investments in southern Nevada with the potential for another 1,000 jobs in the next five years. Other companies to announce investments in the past two years include Motaional AD, Haddington Dynamics II, Crown Holdings and CAE. To accommodate more than one million additional people living and driving in the area in the following couple of decades, officials are planning significant infrastructure upgrades under the Access 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. Lyft and Motional are working towards launching a fully driverless robotaxi service, while the Boring Company works on an underground public transportation system with more than 55 planned stops.
