With Las Vegas as the backdrop, sporting events have become opportunities to incorporate enhanced gaming, entertainment, and dining options to create unique experiences that transcend the game or sporting event itself. The first leg of this tour will include an overview of the local economy and an update on major projects in Las Vegas as well as a bus tour through the retail district in Downtown Summerlin. A tour of the Las Vegas Ballpark (home to the Athletics’ AAA team, the Las Vegas Aviators), lunch on the club level, and a panel discussion with sports executives will follow. Finally, walk next door to City National Arena to tour the Vegas Golden Knights’ practice facility.
