LAS VEGAS
The Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has completed $20 million in improvements to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The LVCVA implemented the changes, which are designed to enhance the customer experience, to the 3.2 million-square-foot facility over the past two years while working around shows and events in the building.
The first noticeable change is the façade of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Two different shades of gray paint now cover the once mauve exterior to create a more modern look.
In addition, the Green Parking Lot has been expanded adding more than eight acres to the lot near Desert Inn Road and Swenson. Designs are underway on two more parking lots to allow for more convenience and access.
Inside, more than one million square feet of new red carpet has been installed. The lighting has also been upgraded in the Central and North Halls. The new fixtures deliver up to 20 per cent more light with 42 per cent less energy. The interior has also been painted.
The facility, located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, is one of the largest convention centers in the country, hosting an average of sixty meetings, events, conventions and trade shows a year, with more than 1.2 million visitors
