world’s gaming capital. Establishing deeper roots in Las Vegas

our incredible resorts and our evolving reputation in technology,"
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman said. "In business investment
and technology specifically, companies are looking more and more to
Las Vegas as a new home. We welcome Skillz, the mobile gaming
platform for skill-based competition, to Las Vegas as we continue
to develop into a world-class hub of innovation and
