Lisa Messina has joined Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) as chief sales officer. Messina joins following a 4.5-year stint with Caesars Entertainment, where she most recently worked as senior vice president of sales, leading a team of 120 sales directors. She’ll begin her new position in early September.
“I am thrilled to join the LVCVA and represent Las Vegas, the number one name in tourism,” Messina said. “There is tremendous history to celebrate in Las Vegas but there are also opportunities to make history. We are at a pivotal moment where the landscape is evolving in a fun and transformative way. It gives business and leisure travelers even more reasons to return.”
