VEGAS.com, LLC is a destination-specific Online Travel Agency (OTA) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. VEGAS.com provides extensive travel content and books discounted travel products including hotel rooms,[1] air-hotel packages, show tickets, tours, dining, golf, and other activities exclusively for the Las Vegas destination. VEGAS.com was one of The Greenspun Corporation's family of companies.[2] It is now owned by Remark Holdings,[3] the publicly traded company formerly known as Remark Media.[4]
Vegas.com was previously operated by The Las Vegas Sun, a newspaper distributed in Las Vegas.[5] In 2005, in a Chicago Tribune article, Vegas.com was ranked among the 50 most popular travel websites.[5]
In 2015, Las Vegas-based Remark Holdings (then known as Remark Media) acquired Vegas.com with the goal of making it the "go-to booking destination for new millennial travelers."[6] Remark Media paid a reported $15.5 million in cash and $9.5 million in stock, with $10 million in future stock options and up to $3 million depending on Vegas.com's performance in the following three years.[7]
The company also operates five souvenir stores in Las Vegas, in partnership with Marshall Retail Group.[8]
