Because they submitted the winning bid.
All large events that don't happen in the same city every time go through the same basic process: the hosting organization sends out a Request for Bids. (The Republican National Committee does this slightly differently: it creates a list of cities that it will accept bids from and sends invitations to them. Not all the cities who are invited agree to bid.) It will say that they need certain things: a place to hold the event that will hold more than x number of people, enough hotel rooms so every person going to the event can have one (lots of people take their spouses to the event), enough restaurants to feed everyone, an airport that can handle all the traffic expected (including ramp space for a certain number of privately-owned airplanes because some people will fly themselves in), companies to rent chairs, tables, linen service and so on from, things for people to do after a day's events have ended...it's pretty extensive.
Anyone who wants to hold the convention then creates a bid packet: we have 12,000 hotel rooms, we have a convention center that will hold 1900 people, we've got six hospitals and three airports, there are 500 restaurants in town and delegates can choose to go to nine plays, two Baseball games, 50 movie screens and over 600 bars. We also have great sweeping views that would look great on television.
They might get thirty bids. From that they'll weed through them until they're down to three or four, and then they start touring the cities whose bids are on the shortlist. The one they like best gets the convention.
