History

Established in 1999.

Opened in 1999, Preferred Public Relations has grown from a home-​based business handling mostly resort and F&B clients to a mid-​sized agency that widened its scope to handle gaming, financial, legal, entertainment, travel & tourism, meetings & conventions, business development and real estate.

PPR has worked with nearly every resort property on The Strip conducting property launches, expansion projects and concept grand openings. PPR has expanded its services to include corporate, gaming and tourism clients in other markets, and has become the agency of choice for national restaurants, retail outlets and other businesses when expanding to Las Vegas.

Peers and leaders credit PPR for its stunt orchestration and media pick-​up, with more than 300 high profile special events to its credit. PPR has been recognized with a number of awards and titles since its inception, from publications like In Business Las Vegas, Entrepreneur and PR Week, and organizations including PRSA, IABC and AMA.
