BACKGROUND:
At the March 19, 2024, Board meeting, the Board received a debriefing presentation regarding the 2023 Las
Vegas Grand Prix (LVGP). The first portion of the presentation focused on strengths and weaknesses of the 2023
LVGP, and the second portion focused on recommendations to improve the special events process for
unincorporated Clark County.
Part of the direction provided by the Board was to develop a high-impact special events process to modernize
County operations. As presented at the March 19, 2024, Board meeting, the development of a high-impact special
events process would allow the County to streamline operations, coordinate more efficiently with County
departments and partner agencies, and continuously evaluate how the County responds to the increasing requests
for special events in unincorporated Clark County.
Following the March 19, 2024, Board meeting, staff worked with various stakeholders to draft an ordinance to
create a new Sports and Special Event Department. The proposed ordinance would centralize the special events
process for the County. Elements of the proposed ordinance include applicability, exemptions, application
deadlines and requirements, roles and responsibilities, and operational requirements.
This proposed ordinance was introduced at the August 6, 2024, Board of County Commissioners' meeting, and a
public hearing was scheduled for August 20, 2024. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance to amend Title 2 of the Clark County Code to add a new Chapter 2.70.
