Nev. tourism officials funding special events
By Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The Nevada Division of Tourism will spend $200,000 to sponsor six events — four in Northern Nevada and two in Southern Nevada — to generate tourism in the state.
The Nevada Commission on Tourism voted unanimously Wednesday to spend $50,000 each to assist the National Championship Air Races near Reno; the Sierra Ski Marketing Council to publicize skiing in the Lake Tahoe area; and the Reno Air Service Corp. to enhance the efforts of public and private partners to recruit air service to Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
A fourth Northern Nevada entity, the Great Reno Balloon Race, will receive a $15,000 sponsorship.
