Las Vegas makes pitch to host 2024 GOP convention
Fox News
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman is an independent and a former Democrat, but she and Nevada Republican Party chair Michael McDonald are on the same page when it comes to 2024 – they’re pushing for Las Vegas to host the Republican National Convention.
"Las Vegas is the premier destination for business and conventions. The Republican National Committee understands this and has asked Las Vegas to respond to a bid for the 2024 national convention. Las Vegas is open for business," the mayor touted in her tweet.
"To me, this request is not about politics, it’s about bringing millions of dollars in convention business back to our local economy," Goodman emphasized in an accompanying statement. "No one does conventions and conferences better than Las Vegas does, and our community is ready for this major economic boost."
