Target: Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, City of Las Vegas, Nevada State Government
Goal: Urge Las Vegas officials and the LVCVA to adopt progressive, inclusive policies that repair international relationships, modernize tourism offerings, and prioritize the needs and values of younger generations.
Las Vegas is at a crossroads. Recent data reveals a sharp 20% decline in Canadian visitors—our largest international market—due to diplomatic tensions and restrictive policies enacted under the Trump administration. With overall airport traffic down by 4.1% year-over-year, it’s clear that the city’s economy is suffering. Industry leaders and economists agree: to recover, Las Vegas must repair international relations and reimagine its tourism model for a new generation.
The current strategy, including a $20 million sponsorship of the Formula One Grand Prix, is not enough. Younger travelers are turning away from outdated ‘Sin City’ stereotypes, preferring experiences that reflect their values—digital engagement, inclusivity, and sustainability. The city must pivot to meet these demands and foster an environment welcoming to all.
We call on Las Vegas leaders to take immediate action to rebuild cross-border trust, invest in modern, diverse attractions, and ensure the city’s future is equitable and resilient. The next six months are critical—let’s make them count.
