We are excited to announce this year’s award banquet theme “Under the Nevada Sky” and share that tickets are on sale now! Below is event information as well as a reminder about award nominations.
Shout out to Mike Lindberg, fellow WEA member and photographer extraordinaire, whose work “Blazed #1” is the background of this year’s poster. With a location at Thomas Creek off Mt. Rose Highway, Mike captured a stunning Nevada sky in fall 2023. Thank you to Mike for sharing his beautiful photography with us!

Interested in getting a discounted room?
WEA guests may be eligible for a 20% discount on the best available rate at the Atlantis. Please call their reservations line at 800.723.6500 and ask for the “SOCIAL RATE”. It is not under WEA’s name; you simply ask for the “SOCIAL RATE”- it is only available by phone. The rate is dynamic and can change daily. If rooms sell out, or room inventory gets very low, the rate will not be valid. A good rule of thumb is to book sooner rather than later as the rates increase as their inventory decreases. Please note, sometimes on weekends, a minimum of two nights are required to receive any discounts.
