Dear Governor Sandoval :
Las Vegas is in dire need of a powerful and progressive marketing
campaign that will drive revenues up to record highs. In particular
there must be a strong emphasis on gross gaming revenue.
The proliferation of gaming in its many forms and locations is
currently whittling away at our Las Vegas economy.
I have developed a destination marketing strategy that will reverse
the whittling cycle by utilizing the various gaming locations as
targets to send a laser message “No Place Stacks Up Like Las Vegas.”
Now is the time for Las Vegas to stop the shotgun advertising to the
masses and all work together efficiently to promote Las Vegas.
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.”
- Henry Ford
2. You are an important part of an elite group that I’m requesting a
letter of support of two considerations that work together as one.
A. Licensing of the slogan “ No Place Stacks Up Like Las Vegas.”
to all of the promotional agencies ( LVCVA, Nevada
Development Authority, Chamber of Commerce, Asian
Chamber of Commerce, Latin Chamber of Commerce and the
Nevada Commission on Tourism, ect).
B. Licensing a design patent to McCarran Airport and its
advertisers to create an environment in the Baggage claim area
that will celebrate Las Vegas for the special place it is to our
guests. Please view the enclosed DVD for a video presentation
on this portion.
I very much appreciate your time and should you have any questions
please do not hesitate to contact me at (702) 868-8338.
Respectfully yours,
Jeffery A. Rom
