Government Affairs
The Vegas Chamber is the voice for your business in government. It fights for your business every day, actively developing and promoting policy positions on critical issues impacting the business community, as well as continuously asserting its role as the leading business organization in the state on your behalf at all levels of government.
The Vegas Chamber hosted its Biennial Legislative Day on April 6, 2021. Due to the State Legislative Building being closed as a COVID-19 measure, this event was held virtually. Each legislative session we host Vegas Chamber members for a full day of advocacy meetings with Nevada's constitutional officers, legislative leadership and legislators during Zoom meetings.
VIEW GALLERYThanks to all Vegas Chamber and Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance members who joined us for the first-ever Washington, D.C. Virtual Fly-in, held Sept. 14 to 17. Almost 100 members were "in the Zoom where it happens" all week, with dynamic speakers, engaging sessions and interactive tracks. From keynote speakers such as Molly Ball and Frank Luntz to sessions led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Harold Kim to one-on-one time with the Nevada delegation, attendees were treated to insight that they cannot get anywhere else. Along with exciting programs, there were two socially distanced, small capacity receptions for guests, both held at Wynn Las Vegas. Special thanks to Exclusive Presenting Sponsor and President's Club Member Cox Communications, and all sponsors involved with the DCinLV Fly-in. We are excited to get back to Washington, D.C. in 2021 and hope you can join us!
