Dear Conventioneers and Guests:
Welcome to Las Vegas, America9s most dynamic, entertaining, and intriguing city! As you
convene to learn and network, I extend congratulations to all SOCRA staff, associates
and participants for your diligence, dedication and hard work.
While you are gathered at the fabulous Westgate Resort & Casino, I hope you also have
an opportunity to explore Las Vegas which continues to capture the world's imagination
as the city where anything is possible. With world-class hotels, award-winning
restaurants, luxurious spas, fantastic shopping, the finest golf courses and spectacular
entertainment, Las Vegas remains one of the most electrifying destinations in the world.
At its heart, Las Vegas is all about making sure residents and visitors are well taken care
of, treated courteously and shown a great time. Beyond the neon of the fabulous Strip
and the Fremont Street Experience there is another Las Vegas--one in which we are
building a world-class city featuring the best in arts, culture, sporting opportunities and
quality medical care. The new Smith Center for the Performing Arts has set a high
standard for art and culture in our city, and I encourage everyone to take in a concert or
Broadway show at this magnificent venue. Our award-winning museums, including the
Mob Museum, the Neon Museum, and Discovery Children9s Museum, provide enjoyment
and learning opportunities for all. The nearby, dynamic Fremont East Entertainment
District is filled with exciting taverns, restaurants and music venues.
Our city also offers beautiful weather and outdoor activities. From top class golfing, to
