   As the director of the university's business and economic research centre,   
   he crunched the numbers and found Canadians contributed $3.6 billion US to   
   the local economy last year.   
      
   Canadian spending supported some 43,000 jobs in the region, more than those   
   employed in the manufacturing sector, Miller said.   
      
   That $3.6-billion figure comes close to the economic output of the local   
   Nellis Air Force base — and that's saying something, given it's one of the   
   largest and most important military installations in the U.S., with some   
   15,000 personnel.   
      
   "The Canadian numbers have gone down dramatically and it's an area of   
   concern for the casinos," Miller said. "After all, the main goal of the   
   resort industry is to put heads in beds."
