The assessment is made though the use of varying methodologies that generated (1) the organizational policies for responding to the intent of the law and (2) the physical ability of the properties to comply with the law. In addition, the opinions of disabled persons who are current users of Las Vegas' lodging/gaming industry. The assessment allows the industry to better its ability to understand and serve the needs of persons with disabilities.
