Las Vegas Convention News
More than one in 10 visitors to Las Vegas now comes here for a convention. From small meetings to January's massive Consumer Electronics Show, these gatherings are big business.
That's why the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority spent $2.3 billion to build a new convention center on the site of the old Riviera Hotel & Casino. This will bring more Convention Space to the North end of the Las Vegas Strip.
Not only are these Convention Facility Expansions an indication of how much Las Vegas has moved toward non-gaming sources of revenue, the Convention Center will further pull visitors toward the north end of The Strip. Sands Expo and Convention Center at The Venetian is already a major draw for the Strip.
According to Successful Meetings, the LVCVA was named one of the best CVBs in the country for having “excelled in professionalism and dedication in their service to meeting professionals.” Successful Meetings readers made selections based on professionalism of staff, support on hotel and site inspections, assistance with ground transportation planning, guidance on local attractions and liaison relationships with local vendors and services.
