Chai Card Connects Local Businesses with the Las Vegas Jewish Market
CHAI CONNECTIONS gives merchants, professionals & organizations a great way to reach American's hottest Jewish community... now over 100,000 strong
/Religion PR News/ - LAS VEGAS, NV, June 09, 2006 - Whether you're new to town or you've been here for years, finding what you want and knowing who you need to know is always a challenge in a community growing as fast as the Las Vegas Valley.
America's fastest growing megalopolis is moving toward two million residents, still encouraging expansive growth and adding several thousand new locals every month. Many of those new arrivals, who were right at home here as visitors, find themselves disconnected once the warm embrace of their real estate agent and favorite hotel fades into memory.
No surprise, new Las Vegans — lacking local roots, friends or family — quickly seek connections to make life more manageable. They're looking for everything from their favorite food and a decent dry cleaner, to quality medical care, religious affiliation and a comfortable social circle... things they took for granted back in Boca, Baltimore or Buffalo.
Finding people and places that share your sensibilities can be daunting in this Vegas diaspora. For many newcomers, the city that seemed so welcoming when they were tourists becomes just another big city once they call the Valley their home. They're on their own... a million disconnected families, separated by seven-foot cinderblock walls.
Many longtime locals feel just as uncomfortable. What used to be a fifteen minute crosstown drive has turned into perpetual traffic jams. Things they took for granted are all different. Their unique small town sprouted Summerlin, Green Valley and millions of people they've never met, all asking for "the best bagels." They're not even sure where to find things... anymore.
Finding ways to bring this burgeoning community into sync is a task as daunting as the city's future is bright.
North America's fastest growing big city is also home to the country's quickest growing Jewish population. Not surprisingly, circumstances in Jewish Las Vegas mirror the larger community.
Jewish population in metro Las Vegas has pushed well past 100,000.
Yet, research reveals fewer than 10,000 are formally affiliated with religious institutions or connected with the organized Jewish community. After a couple of tries — attending
social events or High Holiday services — many new locals find Jewish Las Vegas feels sufficiently different from Chicago, Detroit or Dallas that they rule out being Jewish as their ticket into to the community.
Chai Connections solves that problem. The Jewish Las Vegas Card from UJC/the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, makes it easy for Las Vegas locals to connect with people, places, merchants and service providers they'll find friendly, familiar and welcoming. What's more, they'll benefit from savings, benefits and advantages that only their Chai Connections Card can provide.
Starting this summer, Las Vegas merchants, service providers, synagogues and Jewish organizations begin offering Chai Connections cardholders preferred pricing, special deals and VIP access. It's their way to reach out and introduce Las Vegans to great restaurants, retail stores, service providers and affiliations they'll love... places they'll frequent and people they can connect with. Chai Connections is a whole new way to make Las Vegas feel like home.
Imagine trying a new restaurant... being treated like family your first time there, along with saving a few bucks off the tab, every time. Think about shopping at retail stores where Chai Connections Card makes you an important customer, and saves extra money. What about getting a priority appointment with a new doctor, or going right to the VIP line, while others wait? Those advantages, and more, are all part of the Chai Connections program.
Even more, Chai Connections cardholders can connect with others they "runinta" at restaurants, customers they meet dealing with local merchants, and those they see in the VIP line. It's a great way to connect and bring unity to our community.
Chai Connections Cards are available now from UJC/Jewish Federation of Las Vegas (call 702.732.0556), from local synagogues and Jewish organizations, and from participating merchants across the Las Vegas Valley.
Chai Connections helps new Las Vegas residents feel as comfortable here as they were in Chicago, Dallas or Detroit. It gives longtime Las Vegans a new edge in the community.
