Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas to Showcase Downtown Real Estate

The Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas is announcing the Downtown Urban Living Tour. The event brings business owners and consumers together to showcase the urban developments taking place in the greatest city in the world. Best of all, the event is absolutely free for participants. We'd also like to introduce the old White House Las Vegas, an exclusive convention venue, will be participating as a new downtown member - They are renovating the the existing 30,000 sq. ft. structure at 4th and Bridger (see image below).


Honorary Sponsor Urban Living Tour

The premier event, now scheduled for Friday, MAY 2nd from 6 – 10 pm will begin at the Celebrity Theatre (next to SIDEBAR on the corner of 3rd and Ogden). Mayor Oscar Goodman will offer opening remarks prior to the tour. After an initial gathering with drinks and appetizers, registered guests can take tour buses to multiple business locations throughout downtown.


The premise of the Downtown Urban Living Tour is to create an increased awareness among valley residents that downtown Las Vegas is becoming the epicenter of a new cultural renaissance. Like the Gaslamp District in San Diego 10 years ago, the downtown las Vegas area is still in its infancy, but is growing rapidly. The area is undergoing a $20+ billion revitalization effort, which will completely change the landscape of the new downtown.

The primary organizer of the tour is the Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas. Sponsors and contributors include Streamline Tower, juhl lofts, local businesses and major developers Newland Communities and CityMark.

Downtown restaurants, art galleries, bars and shops are also offering coupons and incentives for those participating. For more information, contact the DCLV at (702) 335-5704 or email gary@downtowncoalition.com
