The Las Vegas Sun reports that leaders of an effort to bring the Winter Olympic Games to Northern Nevada say “the exercise of putting a proposal on paper would generate ideas that will help the state refine its tourism offerings”.
The newspaper quotes Jim Vanden Heuvel of the Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, “you build your legacy before you build your bid”.
The coalition made a presentation to the Nevada Commission on Tourism at its quarterly meeting Tuesday.
The Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, along with other organizations, is looking for funding from the tourism commission, and hopes the state would play host to the 2018 Winter Games.
