2021 Virtual Legislative Day
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.
