Nevada's 25th Anniversary Governor's Conference on Tourism, scheduled to begin Dec. 8 in Reno, was canceled today because of the extraordinary circumstances the state faces, particularly the financial challenges, Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki announced.

A special session of the Nevada Legislature has been scheduled to convene on Dec. 8 to address these drastic revenue problems. The special session's dates are the same as those scheduled for the Governor's Conference on Tourism.

The state of Nevada will refund sponsors' payments and registration fees to the conference delegates within 30 business days.
