Rossi Ralenkotter Quotations

Las Vegas has long been known as the number one convention destination, and an enhanced convention center will allow the city to remain atop the industry well into the future. We look forward to working with MWH and other local firms and partners throughout the process.

Hollywood and entertainment people are in Las Vegas on a regular basis. Sports stars and legends from all sports are in our town, and now you bring in the best basketball there is in the world, the NBA All-Star game. Combine that with their legends, it is going to be a tremendous weekend for all the participants.

We looked at it simply from point of reaching leisure travelers.

It goes back to pop culture and the sports world referring back to our campaign.

Part of what we do as destination markets is to fuel the local economy and create jobs in the community.

We need to be looking at where Las Vegas needs to be.

What's amazing about this is, we were able to do in four months what would normally take 12. We managed to fast-track the process to be where we are today because there was a tremendous amount of cooperation between a lot of people who wanted to make this happen. I see that cooperation continuing now that we have the game here.

Even just the slippage of one or two conventions can have a major impact.

It's another event that continues to take the brand of Las Vegas to another level. ... The eyes of the sports world will definitely be on Las Vegas that entire week.

It's been a great partnership, ... We've been able to be a part of the tremendous growth in that industry. ... As their show has grown, Las Vegas has grown.
