Las Vegas Convention Center

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in Las Vegas. It is one of the largest convention centers in the entire world. It consists of 3,200,000 of space. It can hold 200,000 people for an event.

In the early 50's, it was said that the Las Vegas area needed a convention center to help fill up the hotels and so on during Las Vegas's slow months. Not long after, construction began where an automobile racing facility was just one block east of the strip.

Many expansions have taken place since the fifties and it has really grown.

Another huge expansion has been put on hold but if they end up going through with it, it will more than double the size of the convention center.

Conventions of all kinds are held there. The center is typically booked up years ahead of time!

If there is a good use for the extra space then I say go ahead and expand the convention center.I mean we need change to stimulate this economy and to get things fired back up.

I am not sure what exactly it will take to make things flop flop for us but that is what we need.Our economy to flip flop for us and things to get back to some form of normal.

Any kind of growth with things like the convention centers must be good news.

I'm not sure it will still happen but if it does it's great news.

Isn't it amazing to think how many people it will be able to hold if they do the expansion. Pretty cool I think.

The bigger the better because it will attract even more people who need to host conventions.
