Shahn Douglas said Las Vegas was built by people who were willing to take a chance on something not knowing if the result would turn out in their favor.
“I think that’s what Vegas is all about,” said Douglas, the new executive director of the Downtown Vegas Alliance. “It’s about taking risks and I think the people who make it here are risk-takers.”
Douglas inherits the helm of the DVA at a key point in the city’s history. According to data from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, visitation to the downtown core has just now returned to pre-pandemic levels.
