— By Hillary Steinberg of Avison Young — The Las Vegas retail market delivered a mixed but resilient performance in 2025, with vacancy remaining tight and demand holding steady. Vacancy closed the year at 5.6 percent with nearly 5.6 million square feet of available space. While these fundamentals reflect a healthy market, rent growth softened, increasing by just 2.4 percent year over year.
