Nevada's economy, tracked against the numbers that actually govern it.

Every two years, five appointed panelists forecast how much money Nevada will collect — and the Legislature is bound by law to spend no more than that number. We track what they predicted, what actually came in, and the underlying data — jobs, GDP, gaming revenue, population — that drives it all. Every figure here traces to a primary source.

This site exists because that forecast — the Economic Forum's — is a single number that quietly governs the entire state budget, and nobody was tracking it in public against what actually happened. We built that record: every forecast cycle back to December 2020, each one read directly from the Legislature's own Fiscal Analysis Division PDFs, next to the verified actual collections that followed. The same rule applies everywhere else on this site — a Nevada Economy Dashboard fed by BLS, Census, and the Nevada Gaming Control Board; a Las Vegas cluster built on LVCVA and NGCB filings; and explainers on the state budget, revenue sources, and business taxes that link the Nevada Revised Statutes sections they're drawn from. No number ships without a named source and a link to it, and no page here speaks for the State of Nevada or the Economic Forum itself.
