History

Founded in 2008 during the Great Recession, the Downtown Vegas Alliance was formed by business leaders and property owners who wanted to drive economic development in the downtown area. These leaders had the vision to bring together stakeholders who were passionate about the community and had the capacity to cultivate change and put it into action. The result has been a successful revitalization of the downtown Las Vegas area where business of all sizes can make their mark and thrive. 

Since its inception, the DVA has grown to over 70 members who share the same goals as our founders and continue to strengthen business and community opportunities for all.

We serve as a voice for our members and promote downtown Las Vegas’ continued growth. Not only do we advocate for improvements, but we also host an array of small and large events that engage stakeholders and bring members together to strengthen downtown. Together we drive innovative and collaborative solutions to make downtown a great place to live, work and play.
