If businesses want an easier time earning gold, they should come to the Silver State.

This month, technology company leaders gathered for the annual Vegas Tech Summit . The event — created by Teddy Liaw, founder of NexRep — is an effort to attract technology companies to the Las Vegas Valley . Mr. Liaw moved here several years ago from San Francisco. He said that he became “disenchanted” with California’s politics and regulatory environment. He knows Nevada is a better place to run a business and wants to encourage more technology companies to relocate here.
