The Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority, RSCVA, was established in 1959 as the Washoe County Fair and Recreation Board. The RSCVA acts as a marketing organization for the county to promote convention and tourism business.

Unlike other convention and visitor bureaus across the country, the RSCVA owns and operates several facilities designed to draw out-of-town visitors.

The mission of the RSCVA is to attract overnight visitors to hotels and resorts throughout Washoe County through effective marketing, productive meeting, convention and event sales and efficient and effective facility operations, thereby enhancing the economy- and quality of life- of Northern Nevada.
