The LVCVA also owns and operates the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), the premier destination for meetings and conventions in the United States.

Mr. Hill also serves as chair of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.  He was integral to the relocation of the Las Vegas Raiders, the Athletics, and the resulting construction of Allegiant Stadium and the A’s Ballpark. The Stadium Authority owns and has oversight of both venues.

Under Mr. Hill’s leadership, the LVCC completed its $1 billion West Hall expansion in 2021, followed by a $600 million renovation of the legacy campus in January 2026. He also helped bring The Boring Company’s innovative underground system, the Vegas Loop, to the LVCC in 2021. Mr. Hill remains actively involved in expanding the system throughout the Las Vegas Valley. In addition, Mr. Hill oversaw the LVCVA’s acquisition of the 3.9-mile Las Vegas Monorail in 2020.

Mr. Hill, together with resort partners and community leaders, has secured marquee events including Super Bowl LVIII, the 2027 College Football National Championship, the NCAA Final Four in 2028, and the annual Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, leading to Las Vegas becoming known as The Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World.

Mr. Hill moved to Las Vegas in 1987 to start Silver State Materials. He co-owned the company until it was purchased by CalPortland in 2008. In 2011, he helped form and was later appointed director of the newly established Governor’s Office of Economic Development by Governor Brian Sandoval, where, during his tenure, he assisted in bringing numerous businesses to the state, including Tesla’s Gigafactory in northern Nevada, Apple, Barclaycard, and Google.
