The two-year, $597.6 million renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s exhibition halls will begin in March, according to a story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
As soon as the doors close after Conexpo, work will begin to upgrade the North, Central, and South halls similar to the $1 billion West Hall that opened last year.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors on Tuesday approved bonding for the project and a schedule to complete a four-tiered sequence of work that will enable Las Vegas to host all of the major conventions and trade shows on the existing calendar while the work is underway.
Referred to as the “Phase 3 Renovation” — the first phase was the acquisition and demolition of the Riviera hotel-casino and the second phase was the construction of West Hall — the project is slated to be completed over a two-year period that includes six time frames in which no construction will occur during major conventions.
