  Glove Connection

  480 Mirror Ct, Henderson, Nevada 89011, United States

  Glove Connection is a full‑service safety supply house headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, specializing in disposable latex and nitrile gloves for the casino and hospitality industry. The company also supplies a range of maintenance and engineering products to support facility operations, positioning itself as a one‑stop vendor for institutional buyers. With over 24 years of experience, the firm serves casinos and related businesses by offering bulk‑priced protective gear and industrial supplies, emphasizing reliability and quick turnaround. Its operational base at 480 Mirror Court in Henderson places it within the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area, a hub for gaming and entertainment. While the company maintains a de‑minimis online presence – its official website (gloveconnection.com) is not publicly accessible – its listing on the Casinovendors.com directory confirms its B2B focus and product range. Glove Connection does not appear to operate a retail storefront under the same name; a separate Las Vegas‑based “Glove Connection” retail store (5385 Wynn Road) sells tactical clothing and appears to be a different entity. The safety supply business remains a niche provider, with no announced partnerships, funding rounds, or major news coverage. Its workforce likely consists of a small team, typical of a regional distributor, but exact headcount figures are unavailable. No official founding year or founder information has been publicly documented.
