Transformative Renovation Set to Elevate Customer Experience and Solidify Las Vegas as Premier Tradeshow Destination
Las Vegas is currently in the midst of a remarkable transformation of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The ongoing $600 million renovation project at the Las Vegas Convention Center is set to revitalize the legacy campus, leveraging the success of the 1 point 4 million square foot West Hall, which premiered in 2021.
Scheduled to continue through 2025, the renovation project promises to seamlessly integrate with ongoing tradeshows, minimizing disruptions to scheduled events. The ceremonial groundbreaking event, held at the east side of the South Hall, marked the beginning of this transformative journey.
Led by Steve Hill, President, and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), alongside Jim Gibson, Chair of both the Clark County Commission and the LVCVA board of directors, the project emphasizes the commitment to maintaining Las Vegas as the premier tradeshow destination.
Some key highlights of the renovation include:
- Continuation of Signature West Hall Design: The iconic exterior ribbon roof of the West Hall will extend across the entire campus, ensuring architectural cohesion.
- Creation of a Sprawling Plaza and Entrance: The South Hall will undergo a remarkable transformation, featuring an outdoor plaza and indoor lobby, providing a grand sense of arrival.
- Interior Concourse Connectivity: A climate-controlled interior concourse will link the North Hall and the South Hall, facilitating seamless access across the campus.
- Expansive Grand Lobby: A newly designed Grand Lobby between the North and Central halls will offer abundant natural light and panoramic views, enhancing the overall ambiance.
- Innovative Technology Integration: State-of-the-art technology, including digital displays, wayfinding systems, and enhanced connectivity, will ensure a seamless experience for guests and exhibitors alike.
The renovation project is overseen by Miller Project Management Group, with Klai Juba Wald serving as the architect of record. The joint venture of the Hunt Construction Group and the Penta Building Group serves as the contractor, employing over 600 skilled tradespeople for the renovation.
The significance of the convention sector to Southern Nevada’s economy cannot be overstated. In 2022 alone, Las Vegas hosted nearly 5 million convention attendees, generating substantial economic impact and supporting thousands of jobs.
The renovation of the LVCC’s legacy campus was initiated in 2016 through Senate Bill No. 1 (SB1), which aimed to fund the creation of the West Hall and the renovation of the existing campus. Despite delays due to the pandemic, the project has gained momentum, fueled by a combination of funding sources.
As the LVCC undergoes this remarkable transformation, it reaffirms its position as a beacon of innovation, excellence, and hospitality. The $600 million renovation project heralds a new chapter for one of North America’s largest convention centers, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the industry for years to come.
