Nevada will
celebrate its 150th anniversary of statehood with a year-long, state-wide
Sesquicentennial celebration beginning this coming Nevada Day, and continuing
until October 31, 2014.
Nevada Gov.
Brian Sandoval, through an executive order, has designated a seven-man
committee to establish a state commission which will be constituted by January
31, 2013, in time to present a plan to the 77th regular session of the Nevada
Legislature on how to celebrate the state’s yearlong anniversary event
beginning Nevada Day 2013.October 31, 2013. The commission to be created will
be responsible for planning the events and for seeking funding for the
celebration.
Monthly
meetings of the seven-man committee started in March, with month’s meeting open
to the public at 9:30 a.m. Friday on the 10th floor of the McDonald, Carano,
Wilson law office, 100 W. Liberty St. A video teleconference will be set up
with members in Las Vegas, as the committee will discuss future plans and its
progress with the public.

the events will come from private donations, but the committee will also be
applying for grants. Neena Laxalt, a lobbyist with Kathleen Laxalt Consulting
and the co-chairwoman for the committee, said, “We have opted in our mission to try to not use any other state tax
payer money.”

The Las
Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has so much funds it is asking
its Board for authorization to spend $10.6 million more next year than its
current year’s budget of $265.8 million budget.
The LVCVA
board of directors’ audit committee on Tuesday has recommended that LVCVA’s
$265.8 million budget be increased to $276.4 million, with the $5 million extra
going to advertising and the other additional $5 million being transferred to
the organization’s capital expense budget. The LVCVA also will spend $275,000
more for marketing, $220,000 more for general government expenses and $150,000
more for operations. The $5 million that would be shifted to the capital
projects fund budget would bump that amount to $75.4 million, most of which is
unspent money from the previous year that is being rolled over to 2013. The
audit committee’s budget recommendation will go to the full board in November
for approval.
According to
Rana Lacer, the LVCVA’s vice president of finance, room tax revenue is stable and
that the Las Vegas tourism industry is now in its third year of recovery. Room
tax is the LVCVA’s primary source of revenue, and it is driven by room
inventory, average daily room rates and occupancy rates. A key factor in Las
Vegas’ success is that among top tourism destinations, it continues to have the
highest occupancy rate in the nation as of June 30. Las Vegas’ occupancy rate
at midyear was 84.9 percent, topping Oahu (Honolulu, 84 percent), New York (80
percent), Miami (79.2 percent) and San Francisco (77.8 percent). Room tax
together with gaming fees revenue increased from $180.5 million in the 2011
fiscal year to $202.6 million this year.

One of the best additions to Nevada’s spectacular
attractions is the ridges golf course. This one of a kind creation is a world
class 71 golf course complemented with scenery that is unparalleled. The Ridge is
made up of more than 6,500 yards of pristine greenery and natural terrains. The
combination of desert, green, and hilly terrain makes it one of the best
natural courses in the world. The Ridge is one of the highlights of the many
golf courses in Nevada. What sets it apart from the others is the charming
scenery; a natural topography that encompasses a panoramic view of the valley
and mountain. There are natural gorges, canyons, sand bunkers, and the green
carpet and trees that abound in the area. The course offers challenges for both
novice and advanced players. Nestled high above the plateau, the golf course’s
elevated setting is a marvelous place to visit and play golf of course. Both
players and visitors are astonished of the wild and benign terrain, which is to
the delight of every golf buff.
The Ridges is a wonderful place to relax with
friends or the whole family. Groups can take advantage of discounts and playing
privileges. There is a 10 round golf ticket, which the whole group can use.
When you come to the Ridges, you can of course bring our own equipment, but if
you don’t have a set, they have a shop that offers clubs for rent. The whole
set can be used for the whole duration of stay or until you have consumed the
ticket. The tickets indicate that you have a 10 round game, hole by hole, or
per game fees. There are also group rates and per person. Either you travel
with a group or by your self, the Ridge can accommodate you. There are also
practice course, so that you can gain your momentum in the game.
After the game, bring your hearty appetite to
their restaurants and order up some appetizers, stakes, and round of beers.
Don’t miss the soup of the day, and of course the Chef’s special. The bar and
grill can seat up to 30 people. The restaurant is a quaint, airy, and elegantly
designed interior. Special occasions are held here too. Weddings, birthday,
anniversaries, wine sampling, and banquets are the usual celebrations here.
