LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas has long been synonymous with entertainment, offering headlining residencies from global superstars, tour stops from today’s top acts and comedy sets from the best comics in the game. Spectacular shows can be found year-round, but the entertainment landscape heats up even more during summer.
To mark the season of sensational entertainment, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has debuted its Alive in Vegas advertising campaign. Here in Vegas, you don’t just go for the show, you go for an experience—you go to feel alive.
