NEW BET IN LAS VEGAS

Set in the middle of the desert, Las Vegas was born and has grown thanks mostly to the business aviation development. It is not by accident that Nevada’s most famous city alternates with Orlando, in Florida, in the organization of the largest global conference of the private air transport market, the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) - in fact, they are the only cities of the United States with sufficient space to accommodate 1,100 exhibitors, receive over 27,000 visitors from all over the world and expose up to 80 aircrafts in a near airport. But it has an advantage, its history.

Venue of the event in 2019, the Las Vegas Convention Center is annexed to a building closely related with this market, the old Hilton (today Westgate), where Elvis Presley performed his greatest shows. The king of rock was one of the first ones to discover the advantages and becoming an enthusiast of private aircrafts. His family had a Lockheed JetStar (with a very appropriate name) and a converted Convair 800. Yes, the eternal rock star had a pure business aircraft and a converted one, justly the two segments that, years later, would be the trend of the sector. In this year NBAA edition, like in the Elvis shows, there is no monotony.
