Coming off what Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority executives are calling the most successful special event ever staged in Southern Nevada — the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix — organizers are now turning their attention to Super Bowl 58 in February.
“What they (the Formula One team) were able to accomplish in 16 months with obviously the entire city supporting that effort was really remarkable,” LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill told the board of directors in its last meeting at its current board room. “It was the most difficult thing we’ve ever done but the event itself went exceptionally well.”
The LVCVA staff ticked off a list of best-ever statistics with much of the focus on how good the city looked to a global audience tuning in on television and through social media.
