GYC Vegas Welcomes Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas and Four New Clients in the First Half of 2026

Las Vegas-based PR agency expands across key sectors, driving high-impact campaigns and strategic media placements

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, July 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GYC Vegas, a Las Vegas based public relations and marketing agency, announced a major expansion of its client roster during the first six months of 2026. The firm’s mid-year growth is highlighted by the addition of the iconic Hard Rock Cafe on the Las Vegas Strip, along with new clients from the nonprofit, healthcare, workforce development, and technology sectors, driving high-impact campaigns and strategic media placements.

“Looking back at the last six months, I am incredibly proud of the variety of work our team has taken on,” said Gina Yager, founder and director of GYC Vegas. “To seamlessly pivot from promoting a major destination on the Strip to launching trade scholarships, mental health campaigns, and community advocacy initiatives requires deep local roots. That versatility is exactly what drives our best work.”

Key Client Wins & Projects

GYC Vegas secured five diverse clients between January and June 2026, expanding its reach across entertainment, nonprofit, healthcare, and technology sectors:

• Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas – Directing regional public relations, media outreach, strategic community partnerships, influencer engagement, and local awareness campaigns for the high-volume Las Vegas Strip restaurant and entertainment venue.
