THIS WEEK'S BUSINESS PRESS POLL QUESTION

Log on to the Las Vegas Business Press Web site and let us hear your opinion on this week's question.

Boyd Gaming Corp. has announced it is suspending construction on its $4.8 billion Echelon project for up to a year because of the tightening credit markets. The announcement led local analysts and economic experts to begin recrunching their numbers to figure out how much longer it will be before Southern Nevada's economy begins to recover from the housing market slump and economic downturn.

How much longer do you think the region's recovery will take now because of the Echelon project's delay?
