LAS VEGAS-Those who follow @GlobeStcom on Twitter and @GlobeStLIVE may have seen a post teasing the announcement, but GlobeSt.com has learned that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority recently unveiled its plans for the Las Vegas Global Business District, an overarching vision for the Las Vegas Convention Center and the surrounding area. Plans call for the Las Vegas Global Business District to be developed in phases over several years.
The first phase, over the next two years, will include programming and design, the development of overall budget, improvements to the current space at the Las Vegas Convention Center and land acquisition, according to a prepared statement.
Envisioned to be completed in phases, the Las Vegas Global Business District creates an international business destination by incorporating major renovations of the Las Vegas Convention Center, leveraging the World Trade Center designation and developing transportation connectivity through a centralized hub. “I truly believe this is a transformative project,” notes Rossi Ralenkotter, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, in a prepared statement.
Ralenkotter points out that Las Vegas is known for “defining moments that change the hospitality industry, and this project will be the next defining moment.” She adds that “This is more than a project,” he says. “This is a vision that will launch Las Vegas forward ahead of the competition for decades to come.”
Check back in the next day or so for more details on the phases and elements that were taken into consideration.
