Las Vegas Sands to build new convention center
Sure, our fine neon city is gearing up for the next big building boom, with CityCenter leading the way.
But with this influx of new people comes a greater need for hotels and convention space.
Look no further to Las Vegas Sands, owners of The Venetian and the newly unwrapped Palazzo, as well as the Sands Expo & Convention Center.
Plans are now in the works for a reboot of the 18-year-old Expo, with the new center directly across the street and costing $680 million for 1.2 million square feet of space with 7,000 hotel rooms, 1,800 parking spaces, and moving sidewalks to Venetian and Palazzo.
If all goes according to plan, we could see the new Expo by 2010.
