Visit Las Vegas

What Visit Las Vegas does

Visit Las Vegas is the consumer-facing brand of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), a quasi-governmental, non-profit destination marketing organization (DMO) established to promote Las Vegas as a leisure and convention destination. LVCVA also owns and operates the 4.6 million square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center — recently expanded through a $600 million renovation that added 2.5 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and increased capacity by 30% — as well as the Vegas Loop underground transportation system on the LVCC campus and the 3.9-mile Las Vegas Monorail connecting seven stations along the Strip.

The organization's core product is the VisitLasVegas.com destination marketing platform, which aggregates hotel deals, show and event calendars, restaurant and attraction listings, sports event hubs (Formula 1 Grand Prix, Super Bowl, World Cup 2026, 2027 CFP National Championship), all-inclusive packages, and travel planning resources. A B2B counterpart at VegasMeansBusiness.com serves meeting planners and convention organizers with venue and RFP information. Supporting infrastructure includes partnerships with 15+ international airlines providing direct service to Harry Reid International Airport and dedicated content streams for leisure, business, family, first-time visitor, sports tourism, and international audience segments.

LVCVA's revenue mechanics differ from a conventional commercial company: rather than selling products directly, it generates economic impact by driving visitor volume (38.5 million in 2024), convention attendance (6 million in 2024), direct visitor spending ($50.8 billion in 2024), and total tourism economic impact ($80.9 billion in 2024). The organization is funded primarily through tourism room-tax assessments and advertising/partnership revenues, distributes content through paid campaigns (e.g., 'Pack for Vegas'), earned media, owned digital properties, social media, email, and strategic airline and event partnerships. Customers in the traditional sense span the entire Las Vegas hospitality and tourism ecosystem — resorts, attractions, restaurants, transportation operators, and ultimately leisure and business travelers — rather than a defined commercial customer base.
