Does superstar Las Vegas really need a convention and visitors authority? The place sells itself. The world knows of Las Vegas and can’t wait to get here.

If notices need to be sent to travel agents, that can be done through a civic department. We don’t need to spend $251 million and another few hundred thousands for a new leadership national search (“Rossi urged to leave,” Saturday Review-Journal).

I trust there is someone competent looking over Rossi Ralenkotter’s getaway plan. He is extraordinarily sharp.

LETTER: North Law Vegas city manager gets nice bonus after a year.
Eric Riccardi Las Vegas

Thank you for your May 10 story, “NLV manager gets bonus after positive review.” It’s good to know the new North Las Vegas City Manager Micaela Moore is doing such a good job after her first year since being promoted from city attorney. Her $17,000 bonus was approved 4-0 by the North Las Vegas City Council. This atop a $340,000 annual salary. I suppose that wasn’t incentive enough to perform well in the new position.
