Steve Hill was named CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in September 2018. A Las Vegas resident for more than 30 years, Hill founded Silver State Materials in 1987 and supplied concrete and aggregates for many projects in the community. After selling Silver State, Hill was appointed by Governor Brian Sandoval to serve as the first director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) in 2011, where he guided the development of “Moving Nevada Forward’” the plan for diversifying Nevada’s economy. Hill has taken over the LVCVA during a massive expansion of the convention center, expansion of meetings and convention facilities in several major casinos, and the run-up to the opening of the Raiders Stadium in 2020. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at his offices in Las Vegas in April.
