Las vegas convention and visitors authority - lvcva Reviews

We gotta keep the rooms full, gouging our geusts for every nickel just to park and sleep can't be the only option

Missing an easy to find official Las Vegas TOURIST information.

This helpful place used to be just across the road from the convention center in Paradise Road, relatively easy to find from the street with a car as long as you knew the location and would not, as I do, expect such a place right at the center of the strip, or at least where some tourist activity is going on. But their former building has been demolished a couple of weeks ago.

I suppose that they had too many visitors there because I cannot imagine any other reason, why a tourist office should be hiding like this in the middle of nowhere inside a building where usually no tourist would ever go. Probably they knew ahead that nobody would find them, because they reduced the display of brochures, tourist mags etc. to less than 3 square metres and I am including alteady the 2 spaces on their desk. You still get useful information here about nearby state parks, 2 or three interesting excursions, free entertainment etc. and the one woman behind the desk is friendly and knows a lot more than has been displayed behind the desk, but this place is somehow ridiculously far away from everything that makes Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, they have rented this tiny place for at least the next 2 years, so I cannot recomment to go there for any reason, except you are an adventurous hiker and like to explore huge and seemingly empty buildings off the beaten track and then even get the very positive surprise of meeting a knowing and helpful person at the end of your probably hour-long walk, first coming from the strip and then while searching inside this building. I have been there today shortly before 10 a.m. which is an hour after they had opened for business and have obviously been the first visitor of the day.

I give 5 stars for the brave and friendly lady behind the desk, 0 stars for location and 0 stars for the performance of the board of directors of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority who is responsible for changing location to this ridiculous place. This makes an overall 2 stars, credited only to the only person left behind the tiny reception desk in a huge hall. Without her, I would not find it worth the time to bother about a review at all.
