NATIONWIDE LABOR CITY GUIDE & MANAGEMENT FOR LAS VEGAS, NEVADA EXHIBITS, EVENTS & ENVIRONMENTS WELCOME Welcome to Las Vegas – the Entertainment Capital of the World - a city known for its bustling casinos, celebrity chef restaurants and never-ending nightlife. Born and raised in Southern California, I was always familiar with the city’s allure and now I enjoy calling it home. I have been working in the trade show industry for more than a decade, holding various field and managerial positions with both I&D companies and full service exhibit houses. Now, as the On Location Nevada Area Regional Manager, I oversee all Las Vegas based projects and lend support to our other teams throughout the west coast, including Arizona, Utah and other surrounding areas. My days are filled with resource planning, job reconciliations and communicating with the field, account executives and clients. That includes spending a lot of time on the show floor making sure all clients’ needs are met. Our team sees that it’s our job to make your job easier. Having lived and worked in the Las Vegas area for years, I can also be a helpful resource for things to do while in town. Well known for slot machines and neon lights, you never have to step foot on the casino floor to have fun. There’s unlimited restaurants, entertainment and so much more even before the sun goes down. Visitors of all ages can enjoy golf, hiking or relaxing by the pool. While this City Guide is filled with useful and fun information, questions may arise and I am here when they do. You have my commitment along with the entire On Location team to work hard in exceeding your expectations – making your visit to my home the best possible. That’s what we call Return on Experience. Feel free to reach out to me or your Account Executive at any time. My contact information is below.

The resort city, often referred to as the Entertainment Capital of the World, is known for its 4-mile long neon-lighted Strip of 24-hour casinos and non-stop entertainment activities. On one corner visitors can visit the Egyptian pyramids then cross the road to the Venetian Grand Canal and illustrious Eiffel Tower. But Las Vegas hasn’t always been larger than life… Founded in 1905, the small desert settlement was barely on the map. Yet the construction of Hoover Dam in 1928 and gambling legalization in 1931 were just the start of twenty years of growth that would help Las Vegas become what it is today - the largest city in Nevada with mega-hotel/casino complexes, lavish fountains and a fantasy-like environment that is unsurpassed. Las Vegas has an arid climate with sunny, dry, and extremely hot summers despite its low humidity. Winter is much cooler with snowcapped mountains surrounding the valley, great for a side skiing and snowboarding escape. Spring and fall are very enjoyable months when temperatures are not too hot or too cold. Guests of the city find getting around to be rather easy and many find themselves walking the Strip. Other transportation options include by car or scooter as well as public buses, taxis and the well- known Las Vegas Monorail. More city specific tourism information can be found at LasVegas.com.
