AOLV WELCOMES YOU
It is my pleasure, as the President of the Ateneans of Las Vegas (AOLV), to invite you to our 7th Ateneo Alumni Association of North America (AAANA). This convention now is hosted by AOLV under the sponsorship of AAANA, which is rotated every two years between the Eastern and Western States.
This Ateneo reunion is a gathering of old friends and new ones, especially those Ateneans from other Ateneo Schools. Although Ateneans graduated from various Ateneo Schools, they have developed a special kinship because we are taught by the same Jesuits who rotate to sister schools, sharing the same Ignatian values.
The highlight of the convention is meeting our Jesuit teachers, updating us to the happenings in their Alma Maters and learning new things from Ateneans about their work/accomplishments during the plenary sessions. The attendees learn about changes in AAANA as well as having an election of new set of AAANA officers for the years 2025-2026. Being in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, Ateneans have the opportunity to enjoy the sights and pleasures that Las Vegas offers.
This convention will be held on March 27-29, 2025, at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino, located at 4000 W. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89103. Please save the dates and when the discounted rate for the hotel rooms is released by Gold Coast Hotel, we will inform you to make your reservation.
On this website, you can find the page with the Registration and Advertising Contract Forms. We ask for your generous contribution to fund our charitable and humanitarian projects by placing ads in our convention journal.
I hope that after the 3 days of convention you will take home an invigorated mind and body, and the memory of the fun and excitement of your stay in Las Vegas.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam! (For the Greater Glory of God!)
