If we are to host this event and we present it as a "Las Vegas" pageant rather than a "hotel" pageant we can go either of two ways. The several events (four) to be presented will be staged in a given hotel based upon an impartial "draw" participated in by those hotels interested and able to handle the event. Costs for staging these individual events; i.e. lights, sound, music, maitre'ds, captains and other personnel will probably come to a total of about $5,000. This presumes each event will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000 to $1,300. We can then assess each hotel participating and the convention authority an equal portion of this total figure. For instance if the Sahara, Riviera, Stardust, Desert Inn, Sands, Frontier, Flamingo, Caesars Palace, Dunes, Tropicana, Landmark, Hilton, Fremont, Mint and Union Plaza participate and the total figure was $5,000, each of the aforementioned including the convention authority would pay a little over $300 to cover the cost of staging. If fewer participate, each would pay more. It would be evenly divided amongst the participating hotels and the convention authority. n LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER H LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89109 H TELEPHONE (702)735-3611
