From the Mayor

Las Vegas continues to capture the world’s imagination as the city where anything is possible. With world class hotels, award-winning restaurants, luxurious spas, fantastic shopping, the finest golf courses, and spectacular entertainment, Las Vegas remains one of the most electrifying destinations in the world. We are building a world-class city that features the best in arts, culture, and medicine, and we also continue to diversify our economy with projects like the Las Vegas Innovation District. Las Vegas is an international stage for innovation and technology, hosting the massive Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) shows annually. The City of Las Vegas established the Innovation District in 2016 to create a center for testing and deployment of technologies in areas such as public safety, digital equity, and mobility. Projects and solutions are being developed through collaborative efforts between the city and new technology partners. The city’s evolution into a smart city will leverage technologies to enhance city operations and services, with a focus on improving the quality of life for all of our citizens, visitors, and businesses. Join us as we continue efforts to become a hub for new technologies that will be used around the world.
