One of the biggest convention centers is about to get a
makeover.
The Convention Center at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, one
of the world’s largest meeting spaces, is undergoing a renovation in stages
between 2024 and 2026.
The project is expected to cost $188 million.
It is part of an overall $1 billion capital investment
expenditure as the hotel nears its 25th anniversary.
“Embarking on a refresh of a convention center that hosts
back-to-back events year in and year out is no easy task, but our promise is to
provide our guests a best-in-class experience,” said Patrick Nichols, president
and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, in a statement.
“The finishes and amenities planned were thoughtfully curated based on feedback
from our customers and will usher in a new era of Venetian Meetings and
maintain our position at the forefront of the industry.”
Design elements, including new lounge spaces, will emphasize
group travel. A new speakeasy bar will also be built on the site to host more
private, intimate gatherings such as invitation-only events.
“Since inception, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas has led the
landscape of meetings and conventions and remains at the forefront of this
industry, so we’re thrilled to have this renovation elevate the property to yet
another level to better serve our guests,” said Tony Yousfi, chief sales
officer at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
The Convention Center holds more than two million square
feet of meeting space.
The new entertainment complex Sphere is also part of the
Venetian Resort Las Vegas, and is currently hosting U2, one of the biggest bands
in the world, in a special residency.
Beginning with the Grand Prix race in November, Las
Vegas is expected to have a huge travel boom over the next several months.
