Send us a textWe are on location as the iconic Tropicana Las Vegas took its final bow with a breathtaking spectacle. What a show! The Las Vegas skyline was illuminated with an impressive drone and fireworks show, followed by the 22-second-long implosion of the Tropicana at 2:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 9. According to officials... the momentous event marks the next chapter in Las Vegas' legacy of reinvention: the A's state-of-the-art ballpark and a world-class entertainment resort destination in partnership with Bally's Corporation. We chat with Steve Hill, the President of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. We asked him about Las Vegas implosions and why they are so special and we also asked him to confirm that the A's are really moving here. Listen and see what he has to say!

Random Vegas  Hilton, at one time, had the tallest sign in Vegas at 362 feet tall, taller than the Landmark Hotel itself and only a few feet shy of the Hilton itself.  On July 18, 1994, it was blown down by 70-80 mph high winds.  Fortunately, no one was injured.  The sign was rebuilt in 1997 but not nearly as tall at only 279 feet tall. This is the sign Westgate has to this day. @summacorp  TwitPic of the week  Do you realize how much Vegas history is in this one shot shared by @Summacorp?  We'll start with Circus Circus since it's the easiest to orient yourself with.  Here you can see her 5 fountains and carousel marquee as well.  Next door you have Travel-lodge to the left, still there today, and Westward Ho on the right, not with us anymore. Across the street you have the Thunderbird, Algiers and Riviera. Today its Fontainebleau and a parking lot for the LVCVA. Beyond that we can see the International, the Convention Center and the Landmark.  Today the International is the Westgate and the convention center is now so much bigger that it repurposed the Landmark parking lot into an extension of the convention center.    News Downtown Grand For Sale 360 Vegas Vacation 15  Bellagio Expansion

F1 has come and gone — but our city is a house divided when it comes to the big race postmortem. So today, executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson sits down with co-host Dayvid Figler (who attended the race) to break it all down: We chat about some very bizarre components of the “production” (is actor Jared Leto doing poetry?), the view from the stands, and how even non-fans got caught up in the action. And as hard as it'll be to figure out the real economic impact, maybe the ultimate measure of “success” will be if head cheerleader, LVCVA's Steve Hill, can convince the powers that be that it was “the greatest event in Las Vegas history” — or if going all-in gets called as a bluff.

So why did it retire that famous phrase? Steve tells all!   Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, LIsa Melmed, Gary Vickery  

On today's episode of Leadership is Female, #20!!! can you believe it!?! I am so pleased to bring you Lisa Motley, a veteran of casino, hotel, sports, and special events advertising and marketing, currently holds the position of Director of Sports Marketing and Special Events for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). Lisa Top 4 Takeaways: 1. Chase the skills required to grow, not the money, the money will come when you add the skills. Lisa's career started out with a faxed resume and now she is leading marketing sports and special events for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, one of the top tourist destinations on the planet. Lisa's marketing knowledge had to grow tremendously over the years to take on big roles like this one - chase the skills! 2. To build courage, consider creating a photo album on your phone title “Courage” and fill it with all your favorite photos that bring you JOY! A night out with your friends, a great vacation, your family...you name it. Any time you start to feel weak, open that up and reflect on the beautiful life you have created and let those happy memories fill you with the courage needed to get the job done. 3. On goal setting, choose goals that align with your values and that you are passionate about achieving. Setting a goal on an area where you have disinterest is not going to take you anywhere. Get excited about what you can achieve and make a plan on how to get there. Shout out to Lisa who met her reading goal - 52 books in 2020!! WOW! 4. Lisa's best advice for women, “make a decision!” Don't make a million dollar decision but make a decision and be able to explain why you made that decision. Start getting decision making practice today to be the leader you want to be tomorrow.
