New chief named for Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Las Vegas has hired a new chief for the city’s Convention and Visitors Authority.
Steve Hill was announced as new LVCVA chief executive officer, taking over from retiring CEO, Rossi Ralenkotter.
Hill was the first director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) and was instrumental in bringing big business to Nevada, including Tesla, Apple, Amazon, and Hyperloop One.
"As an entrepreneur, Steve Hill helped build many resorts on the Strip. He helped make Nevada an attractive place to build businesses, bringing some of the world’s most innovative companies to the Silver State. I know Steve will be equally successful at the LVCVA; he is the right person, at the right time to lead the organization," said Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Hill was also named as the chair of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority and will oversee the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center, which will add 1.4 million square feet of new space.
"I look forward to working with our tremendous team and our mission partners to innovate, improve access to and around the destination and drive growth to keep Las Vegas the number one choice for business and leisure travelers alike," Hill said.
