Once known mainly for gambling and debauchery, Las Vegas has gained professional sports teams with the National Football League, the National Hockey League, Women's National Basketball Association and the United Soccer League in under a decade.
The $2 billion venue was built for the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders and opened in 2020.
"It's not just that the NFL's here, which is fantastic and a recognition of the maturity of Las Vegas," said Hill.
Allegiant Stadium brought 1.52 million incremental visitors to the area, according to the 2023 impact report by the Las Vegas Raiders, with 88% of those visitors saying it was "the primary reason for their visit."
In 2023, 40.8 million visitors flocked to Las Vegas, up 5.2% from the prior year, though still not as high as pre-pandemic levels.
