202 Talking Old Vegas with Earl Jobson

When you live in most towns, you can talk about its past 20 years in a very short conversation.  But in Vegas, 20 years is ancient history and so much has happened in those two simple decades.  My guest today is Earl Jobson, a true Vegas tour ambassador.  Earl is a man who in his career, had a front row seat to some of the most explosive changes in Las Vegas starting in 1993. That’s why I chose Earl as my second guest.  He worked for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA ) in various capacities as Las Vegas was going through that amazing boom time.  To be in that position at that time and to stay in the tourism industry after he left, Earl has a unique insight to where Vegas came from and where it could be headed. I wanted to get an insiders look at Vegas past as we move into the new phase where Las Vegas is transitioning to become and an “experience destination”.
