The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors on Monday approved a $398 million budget for the city marketing organization’s 2022-23 fiscal year.

Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson, who serves as secretary on the board, underscored the importance of the marketing budget to Las Vegas’ success as a destination.

“What this budget reflects is the reality that we need to continue to fight to hold our place and to advance ourselves,” he said. “I think that the things that are the priority listed in the budget expenditures are appropriate. We need to remember that we’re not the only destination that is fighting hard to come back and exceed prior performances.”
