Nevada comes to town

THe impossibly good-looking Governor of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, visited Australia last month, leading the first ever trade delegation from Nevada to Australia. With the US state home to Las Vegas and its multitude of tourism attractions, travel was a key part of the visit which included a major trade reception at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Sandoval, who has led a significant economic recovery for Nevada, was joined by representatives from United Airlines, Cirque du Soleil, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau and Nevada Tourism at the event. The governor is pictured between two Cirque du Soleil cast members after a mesmerising performance, along with Corey Marshall, Nevada Tourism; Julie reid of United Airlines; Cirque du Soleil’s Alma Derricks; and Adreian Matanza from the LVCVA.
