The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has unveiled a new 30-second commercial geared at marketing a new Sin City in wake of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas casinos, along with the rest of the state’s gaming resorts, have been closed since mid-March. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) has no idea when gambling might be permitted to resume, but the LVCVA is prepping potential visitors for a new Sin City experience.<\/p>\n

The world has changed, and Vegas is changing with it,” the commercial begins via narrator. “So yes, things will be a little different when we open again \u2013 at least for a while.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“A new Vegas for the new reality,” the spot continues.<\/p>\n

“We’re working to make it more intimate, with more space and the excitement you’ve come to expect. So, if you’ve ever imagined a Vegas that was just for you, it’s only here. And when it’s ready, you’ll be the first to know,” the ad ends.<\/p>\n

Unlike in typical commercials promoting Las Vegas, featuring the thrill and excitement of a craps table, sun-soaked pool parties, and late-night dancing, this version features a couple experiencing Sin City in a rather private and personal manner.<\/p>\n
