The GOP is soliciting bids for a 3-day convention, and Las Vegas is interested:

The mayor of Las Vegas and the head of the Nevada state Republican party are pitching the idea of the city hosting the GOP National Convention ahead of the November 2024 presidential election.

Mayor Carolyn Goodman on Monday issued a statement saying she told the Republican National Committee in response to an inquiry that Las Vegas would be the best place for the three-day event in summer 2024.

Meanwhile, the Democrats started their bid process in late July:

DNC Chair Jaime Harrison is delivering a letter to over 20 U.S. cities today, inviting them to apply to host the 2024 convention, Axios has learned.

In the letter, Harrison promises that acting as host can be an “economic boon” for the selected location, citing that past host cities have seen an economic impact of almost $150 million to $200 million..

The details: The process is beginning earlier this year, a DNC aide tells Axios. During the last selection process, the letter of interest wasn’t circulated until March of 2018.
The DNC hopes cities will use the extra time to come up with “creative” proposals, particularly after what they believe was a successful, almost entirely virtual 2020 convention.
“We are open to exploring new approaches and are continuing to rethink the best way to hold our next convention,” Harrison writes in the letter.

It will be fascinating to see whether the parties really do anything unconventional (sorry), given what happened in 2020, or whether they go back to a relatively normal convention plan.
