LAS VEGAS — Tourism and business leaders joined today at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) to kick off a $600 million renovation of the facility’s legacy campus.
The renovation will extend the contemporary design, architecture, and customer experience of the 1.4 million square foot West Hall, which debuted in 2021. Work will continue through 2025, with construction designed to accommodate and minimize disruption to scheduled tradeshows.
A ceremonial groundbreaking took place at the east side of the South Hall, which will be transformed into a sprawling new plaza and entrance. Steve Hill, president, and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) was joined by Jim Gibson, chair of both the Clark County Commission and the LVCVA board of directors, as well as members of the LVCVA Board of Directors and Convention Center Oversight Panel
“We have been the number one tradeshow destination for nearly three decades, and we are committed to being the number one tradeshow destination for another three decades,” said Hill. “This renovation will provide our customers with an experience that will make them want to come back year after year.”
Some key highlights of the renovation include:
- The continuation of the signature West Hall exterior ribbon roof will create architectural cohesion across the entire campus.
- An outdoor plaza and indoor lobby at the South Hall will create a sense of arrival and provide direct access to new pre-function space and a second-floor boardroom.
- A climate-controlled interior concourse between the North Hall and the South Hall will provide interior access across the entire campus.
- An expansive Grand Lobby between the North and Central halls will offer ample natural light and views of both halls.
- A newly designed parking lot outside of Central Hall (Silver Lot) will feature a Vegas Loop station to transport guests to/from Wynn and Encore (expected to debut in Spring 2024).
- Innovative technology, including sleek, digital displays, digital pylon signs, wayfinding, and interactive information kiosks throughout the facility.
- Technology upgrades will result in upgraded electrical access for tradeshow organizers and exhibitors and increased connectivity for guests.
