Expanding Nevada's Tourism Industry Tourists come to Nevada with many options in mind. From gaming to camping, Nevada offers a wide range of entertainment options. The offerings are expanding with major league sports taking the lead in the past year. Nevada’s Western U.S. hub location attracts millions of tourists who come to Las Vegas and use our state as a base to visit other attractions in our neighboring states, generating vital lodging and tourism-related revenues for our state. ... As Governor, I will work to make sure the Department of Wildlife has the resources they need to manage our treasured resources. Ninety Seven percent of the Departments funding comes from user fees and grants. Only 3% comes from the state’s budget. Not only will people be coming for the great outdoors in Nevada, we now are building the next great sports facility in the U.S. for the NFL Raiders and UNLV football team and that domed stadium will also drive more new events to the southern Nevada market. That stadium will be partially built with money generated from a hotel room tax increase—another reason to keep attracting more tourists to our great state. Nevada is maturing as a tourist destination and as Governor I will be looking for ways to devote the proper resources necessary to keep the flow of tourists coming to our state. Economic Diversification Currently, approximately 25 percent of the state’s revenues come from taxes and public monies generated by gaming revenues. When tourism becomes subject to a weak economy, this extremely high percentage can put Nevada in a perilous position. This means that Nevada must be pro-active in developing other industries to shoulder some of these public money burdens. Innovation and Energy |
