The city of Las Vegas and International Market Centers, owner and operator of World Market Center, have proposed construction of a 350,000-square-foot expo center in downtown Las Vegas adjacent to World Market Center.
The new multiuser expo center would be constructed at 445 S. Grand Central Parkway on the nearly 60-acre World Market Center campus, which currently comprises three interconnected showroom buildings with more than 5 million square feet of permanent showroom space, a parking garage and three Pavilion temporary exhibit structures. The new exhibition and meeting space would provide an option in downtown Las Vegas to host larger scale trade shows, conventions and other exhibitions that now cannot be accommodated. The expo center also would be used for the biannual Las Vegas Market for furniture, accessories and mattresses.
