Future
This expansion was put on hold but resumed in 2010 after reviewing its plans.
The Las Vegas Convention Center is about to undergo a $890 million expansion, the 14th in its history. The expansion is intended to increase the center's meeting space and improve the building's overall design.
The 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) expansion includes 86,000 sq ft (8,000 m2) of dedicated meeting space.
The project is expected to add:
- A meeting room addition spanning the full length of the South Hall
- A grand concourse linking all three halls
- A signature facade in front
- Enclosed pedestrian access the Las Vegas Monorail
- Police and fire facilities on property (The Convention Center Area Command and Fire Station opened in October 2008)
