RESORTS WORLD LAS VEGAS PARTNERS WITH ELEPHANT PARADE TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS FOR ELEPHANT WELFARE AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS

LAS VEGAS, NV (May 3, 2022) — Elephant Parade®, the world’s largest touring public elephant art exposition that raises awareness of and support for elephants, will take over Resorts World Las Vegas starting Memorial Day weekend. The Strip’s newest resort will welcome a herd of 26 life-size baby elephant statues, personally designed by the resort’s partners and notable brands, to parade across the property for guests to enjoy, while also providing information on this extraordinary effort.
An initiative that started in The Netherlands in 2007, the art installation carries a strong conservation message to highlight the plight of wild elephants and explain the important work of Elephant Parade. With the help of Resorts World Las Vegas celebrity, retail and business partners, each elephant will be uniquely designed before arriving to the property. 13 predesigned elephants, with themes such as Betty Boop, The Big Lebowski, Cesar Millan and more, will also join the property’s inaugural Elephant Parade. Following the exhibition, the expertly painted statues will be auctioned off to benefit elephant welfare programs.

The full list of participating community members include:
• AREA15
• Celine Dion
• Katy Perry
• 818 Tequila
• Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)
• Las Vegas Raiders
• Life is Beautiful
• Resorts World Las Vegas

“We look forward to welcoming this incredible art exhibition to Resorts World Las Vegas and introducing it to our city for the first time,” said Scott Sibella, President of Resorts World Las Vegas. “Elephant Parade has become a beloved initiative around the world, and we are thrilled that our resort partners have joined us in this effort to create these stunning art displays and raise awareness for this important cause.”
Elephant Parade has toured around the world, with Resorts World Las Vegas marking the first-ever display in Las Vegas. As a global destination welcoming guests from all backgrounds, the property felt a strong desire to bring this initiative to its guests and visitors alike, further spreading the organization’s message and combine art and education into one eye-catching display. In addition to the art pieces on display throughout the property, Resorts World Las Vegas will sell select miniature replicas of the elephants throughout its various retail stores.
René de Wit, Managing Director of Elephant Parade said, “After visiting so many great cities around the world, Elephant Parade is thrilled to make its debut in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. We hope that our vibrant art pieces will give thousands of people a reason to smile, meet friends and have a great experience at Resorts World Las Vegas.”
