An informal seminar and luncheon served to give some southern California travel media a new look and prospective  on what  almost every region of Nevada now offers visitors.  Our hosts were representatives of Travel Nevada and several regional visitor bureaus.   Heading the Travel Nevada group were Teri Laursen and Chris Moran.  Las Vegas Territory was represented by Earl Jobson.   As Chairperson Earl heads a group that boosts scenic regions that surround Las Vegas with the theme "Amazing Experiences Beyond the Neon".
Jamie Lokan was present as Tourism Sales Manager for Reno Tahoe while Tom Lester represented Elko Convention Center as Tourism & Convention Manager.
 We had a long conversation with Earl on some of the interesting side trips offered in places like Mesquite, Moapa Valley, Good Springs, and the Valley of Fire.
A most welcome encounter occurred when we met  a long time acquaintance who had been of so much support on previous trips to Laughton and its picturesque and scenic surroundings.  She is Meg McDaniel of the Las Vegas Visitors  Authority based in Laughlin.  This event gave up the opportunity to catch up to current happenings.
The event took  place the Farmhouse Restaurant located on the corner of La Cienega and Beverly Blvd and Third Street.
Here we enjoyed a outstanding buffet luncheon as well as refreshments from the bar.
And we left with ideas for some fascinating stories on not just what Las Vegas offers but the whole state of Nevada as well.
