Maya Cinemas

According to the latest U.S. Census data, Latinos make up nearly 29% of Nevada’s population and own about 19% of the state’s businesses—three times the national average.

As the Latino community grows, more businesses are catering to their needs.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we explore the impact of these businesses and what they could mean for the future of Las Vegas and Nevada as a whole.

Guests: Peter Guzman, president, Latin Chamber of Commerce; Francisco Schlotterbeck, CEO, Maya Cinemas
