Greater Las Vegas Gets A Facelift
By Chuck Kapelke
March 05, 2013
A few years ago Fitzgerald’s Casino & Hotel was not the kind of place a meeting planner would consider to host a business group. Sure, the 638-room property had a fine location at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience, the pedestrian mall built around downtown Las Vegas. But in keeping with its roots, Fitzgerald’s was all about the casino, and the “luck of the Irish” leprechaun theme didn’t exactly lend the hotel a corporate-serious vibe.

3 Days in Reno & Lake Tahoe
By Maxine Cass
January 29, 2013
East of the mountains and pine forest, where Lake Tahoe straddles the California-Nevada border, Reno stretches over high desert. "People don't realize how close Lake Tahoe is to downtown Reno-Sparks," says Chris Baum, president and CEO of the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA). "It really is a mind-blowing experience to see the lake for the first time. When you come over the ridge and see that incredible alpine lake, it's breathtaking."

Quirky Nevada
By Nikki Gloudeman

Quirky” is a difficult word to peg. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines it as “a peculiar trait: idiosyncrasy.” It’s often associated with “offbeat,” “strange” or “odd.” Others link it with “unique,” though it defines something more specific than that.

Mega Mix in the Desert
By Chuck Kapelke
February 27, 2012
With more than 39 million visitors every year, Las Vegas is remarkably efficient when it comes to welcoming people into its arms, immersing them in a few days of memorable fun and business, then sending them back into the “real world.” And in many ways, that’s what a meeting planner’s job is, too. But when it comes to meetings, efficiency is only part of the story. The challenge is to pick just the right mix of ingredients that will make a program unforgettable while also delivering an effective business program that will demonstrate a clear return on investment to the client.

Engage, Relax, Repeat
By Nikki Gloudeman
January 31, 2012
There are a lot of ways a meeting can go wrong, and two of the most common are diametrically opposed to one another. On the one hand, an event can be too boring, with not enough adrenaline-rush activities to keep attendees excited and engaged. On the other, it can be so jam-packed with stuff to do, attendees end up feeling exhausted.

Orginal & Wild

Few places in the U.S. are as anomalous as Nevada, and perhaps no more so than Las Vegas, which thrives on surprise. But look beyond Vegas, and the state of Nevada also defies expectations.

Destination Description
Few places in the U.S. are as anomalous as Nevada, and perhaps no more so than Las Vegas, which thrives on surprise. But look beyond Vegas, and the state of Nevada also defies expectations.
To start, many people have the misconception that Nevada is largely desert. While the Mojave Desert does claim most of the state’s southern region, the name Nevada means “snow covered” in Spanish and refers to the Nevada Sierra Mountain Range in the northern region, where peaks rise more than 13,000 feet from the Great Basin plains, and landscapes are lush with forests and valleys. Plus, the state oozes with history from early Anasazi and Southern Paiute Indian settlements to pioneer homesteaders of the Wild West.
Nevada is an area full of possibility—an environment where you can gamble and try your luck almost anywhere, you can leave it all behind and immerse yourself in the mountains, or jump right in with a weekend in Vegas. For whatever it is that you have in mind, Nevada has the range to accommodate you.
