Kelly said that a lot of what the casino did was driven by the desire to appeal to the Zappos employees that had become part of downtown’s landscape.
He also talked about how downtown was a kind of niche before Tony’s arrival and that he was able to expand that niche through modernization through culture and color and downtown is now more open and inclusive.
Additionally, Kelly talked about the future of downtown Las Vegas and others who are leading the way.
