Las Vegas Convention Center to Undergo $600 Million Revamp

Las Vegas is a popular city to go to for a convention.

In fact, it is third in the country behind McCormick Place in Chicago and the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

Now the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is committing $600 million to renovate the convention center, which will not be torn down. The original building will remain in place, as construction and renovation will be timed so that the 1.4 million square foot facility is not disrupted and still hosts conventions.

The project is set to be completed in 2025.

“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,” Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), said. “This renovation will provide our customers with an experience that will make them want to come back year after year.”

Some of the amenities that will be featured in the new facility include:

Only the North Hall of the exhibit space will be renovated.
There will be an outdoor plaza and a special arrivals area.
The two halls will be connected and climate controlled.
A new parking lot will be constructed, and a new shuttle stop will be installed.
New technology upgrades will be more apparent.
