Just the facts:

The bailout’s buying power

Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2008 | 2 a.m.

What $700 billion would buy in Southern Nevada:

• Every residential property in Clark County four times over (based on the assessed value)

• Every hotel room in Las Vegas for the next 110 years and seven months straight

• 76 more CityCenter-scale projects

• Two stacks of $5 chips — one that would reach to the moon and another that would wrap around the Earth twice.

• Pay salaries of all workers in Clark County for about 14 years.
