Ribbon Cuttings and Mixers

Ribbon Cuttings and Mixers will be moved here to a special section because I want you to be more aware of them for 3 reasons:

• Ribbon Cuttings and Mixers are GOLDEN networking opportunities for YOU! You will often meet CEOs, CFOs, local representatives and other decision makers or centers of influence you might otherwise not meet. 
• They are FREE! 

So don't let these opportunities pass you by!

Best Dam Wine Walks are wrapping up!

April is our last Wine Walk before our summer hiatus. We've had record number of attendees this 2022-2023 season with our highest attendance in December with over 430 attendees. March 2023 was our 2nd highest of the season with 397. A LOT of new participants joined us for every event and we are excited to see these numbers continue to grow. Think of these Wine Walks as an investment in your business and continue to serve quality wine and attendees will come back time and time again!

Attendees stroll through some historic downtown merchants sipping on wine, networking, and shopping. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. The rest of the 2022-2023 season is posted now on our website! 

Special Advertising Opportunity with Highway Radio

The Chamber has partnered with Highway Radio (Highway Country, The Vibe, DRIVE Highway Rock) to provide a unique advertising opportunity for our businesses. The Chamber will match your advertising investment, making radio advertising affordable. Your ad will run for 6 weeks on 7 frequencies, resulting 420 spots that your business will be featured in. Our partnership is running February through June and we didn't want you to miss out on the opportunity for this spectacular deal. 

Here is a link to the sales packet and don't hesitate to reach out should you have any questions. 

We did a big partnership with Channel 8 a few years ago and several of our businesses took advantage of the deal. Feedback was overly positive, in fact so positive that it allowed Fox BBQ to build out their current location. So when done right, radio and TV advertising can bring more business in your doors.

We would be happy to answer any questions. Our telephone number is 702-895-3191. The survey is available here: https://unlv.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5i4LgNHSgeUgkgl.
