Thank you for joining us on Thursday, October 15, at Orleans Arena for the inaugural Perspective Awards Dinner.

Together, we celebrated the leaders, organizations, and investments moving Southern Nevada forward. We heard from Jeremy Aguero on where our economy is headed next and we introduced our organization’s next chapter as the Las Vegas Regional Economic Partnership. We’re so glad you were in the room for it.

Meet LVREP: Southern Nevada. Represented.

On stage at PERSPECTIVE, we introduced our new name: the Las Vegas Regional Economic Partnership (LVREP). We lead with Las Vegas, one of the most recognized names on earth. We say Regional because our work reaches every community in this valley. And we chose Partnership because nothing we do, we do alone.

Our mission hasn’t changed. It’s just sharper now: to connect and champion Southern Nevada’s economic future as a trusted regional partner. If you share our logo or reference us in your materials, our new brand guidelines have everything you need.
