LAS VEGAS-Yesterday, GlobeSt.com reported that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority 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 Las Vegas Global Business District addresses three key findings that emerged after conducting research and holding several focus groups with clients and stakeholders, according to a prepared statement. The first focuses on renovating the Las Vegas Convention Center and creating a convention district campus. This includes building additional exhibit space, meeting rooms and general session space; upgrading technology; adding new food and beverage outlets; and, creating a grand concourse connector with more lobby space. Outside the convention center, plans call for outdoor public and gathering spaces and various design elements to enhance the neighborhood and establish a cohesive business center district.
