NIGA Tradeshow and Convention Expects Over USD 5 M in Economic Impact to Las Vegas

Washington D.C. (December 4, 2017)– The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority anticipates the direct visitor spending in the framework of the NIGA Tradeshow & Convention (in casinos, hotels, restaurant, shopping, etc) will amount to USD 5.9 Million.

NIGA Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr. said “Hosting the event in Las Vegas this year, in the heart of gaming in the US, cements our position as the leading resource to celebrate Tribal gaming and success. We are excited about the level of enthusiasm we have received from members, attendees, speakers and sponsors for the first-time Las Vegas location. We are always proud to support our host city through the economic impact we deliver – and this year we are excited to bring Indian Gaming’s great event to the entertainment capital of the world!”

Convention and meeting visitors are a key component of the broader tourism industry in Southern Nevada, representing approximately 15% of all visitors, and is estimated to support 54,800 jobs. Visitors will spend billions of dollars at local resorts and tourism venues, and visitor spending translates into the creation of thousands of jobs in southern Nevada, supporting billions in wages and salaries.

By selecting Las Vegas as the venue, the event has never been more affordable, providing attendees with access to a variety of lower cost hotel options (as low as $89 per night), along with a plethora of dining and entertainment experiences.
