Lori Nelson-Kraft, for many years spokesman for Station Casinos, will take that role, although with a much nicer title, for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
LVCVA CEO Steve Hill announced the appointment of the new senior vice president of communications and government affairs at the monthly board meeting.
“We are excited Lori is joining our team,” he said in a statement. “Her depth of experience in gaming and tourism, and her deep roots in the community, will be an incredible asset to our organization.” She will fill her new role effective May 13.
Nelson-Kraft was spokeswoman for Station Casinos for 14 years. Before that she worked for six years with the marketing firm R&R Partners.
