Wynn Resorts reports the addition of a convention center to the Las Vegas property is in the preliminary planning stages. Renderings for the new convention space featuring two new hotels and nearly 2 million square feet of exhibit space were started a couple of months ago.
According to Steve Wynn, chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts, the new facility will be built on the site where the golf course is now located, and that it would extend “2,000 feet to Paradise Road, from an area approximately 550 feet east of our villas, so that there will be a large lake with fountains like Bellagio that will entertain both hotels and the convention and meeting space.”
Wynn hopes to leverage the property’s ideal location between the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Sands Expo. He believes the new facility will help alleviate some of the issues the convention industry in Las Vegas currently faces including long taxi lines and daily traffic jams in and out of the LVCC. [TSW]
