* It appears the recent surge of mobile home park owners selling out to make way for high-rise and casino developers may come to a stop. It is expected for this coming Wednesday meeting of the Clark County commissioners that a moratorium of mobile home park conversions is implemented. In the past few years more than 30 mobile home parks in Nevada have been sold and converted.
Good Luck in Las Vegas
