Las Vegas – 4 October 2017 –
The iconic marquees of the Las Vegas Strip and throughout the Las Vegas Valley are displaying a message of strength, unity and gratitude in support of the destination. The digital signs on hotels and attractions included an image of the Las Vegas Strip and the words, “We’ve been there for you during the good times. Thank you for being there for us now. #VegasStrong.” The tribute started Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. and will run for the next 24-hours.

On Monday, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President/CEO Rossi Ralenkotter shared the following powerful message: 

“The thoughts and prayers of all of Las Vegas go out to the victims and their families. “This was a horrific, yet isolated, incident. At this time, it is important to allow the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police to conclude their investigation into the incident, and to attend to the needs of the victims and their families. Las Vegas is a strong community that will work through this tragic incident. We are grateful beyond words to our incomparable law enforcement, first responders and everyone who continues to help victims and their families.”
