Statement from Governor Sandoval on SNTIC Recommendations

CARSON CITY, NV Governor Brian Sandoval today released the following statement after the Southern
Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee held its meeting and voted on final recommendations.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure
Committee and its Technical Advisory Council for their tireless efforts and dedication to completing the
recently approved recommendations. I would especially like to thank Director Steve Hill for his leadership and
perseverance in ensuring Nevadas best interests were always the top priority in this process. I will begin my
review of the Committees recommendations and will also begin discussions with legislative leadership, local
stakeholders, and my cabinet to clarify any outstanding questions. I will not move forward until all questions
have been resolved, said Governor Brian Sandoval. More than one year ago, I signed an Executive Order
bringing together many of the brightest minds in gaming and hospitality as well as community leaders in an
effort to identify the untapped potential and unfulfilled demands in the Southern Nevada tourism industry.
Nevada has served as the standard bearer for global tourism, gaming, and conventions for decades. In order
to remain the top destination, we must explore potential opportunities and push forward to lead this
international industry into the next generation of travel and tourism. I am hopeful the work completed by this
committee will serve as a roadmap to Southern Nevadas unrivaled and continued success.
