Dan Hayes, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s new chief operating officer, comes to Las Vegas from Salt Lake City with a quarter-century’s worth of experience in live events.
Hayes said he was compelled to accept his role with the LVCVA, which he started in November, because of Las Vegas’ reputation in the live-event space.
Hayes said he will be primarily focused on the Las Vegas Convention Center, including the completion of its ongoing renovation, ensuring a positive guest experience and sustainability.
The Las Vegas Sun sat down with Hayes to discuss his transition, goals in overseeing its operations and more.
