The Venetian Resort Las Vegas Convention Center Offers First Look at Refresh

8/27/2024
LAS VEGAS – In 2023, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas announced the $188 million renovation of its Convention Center and last week, unveiled the transformation of the first completed floor of the renovation. The dramatic renovation, which will be completed in stages through 2026, showcases an effortless combination of classic and contemporary architecture.

The stunning transformation of the space was reimagined by esteemed Las Vegas design firm Woogmaster Studio and inspired by feedback from the resort’s meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibition customers. Meetings and events have been the foundation of the resort’s business from its inception more than 25 years ago. Key design elements include an elegant new color palette which presents an upscale departure from traditional convention spaces, luxury lounge spaces for meetings, innovative new technology, and premium meeting essentials including chairs, linens, tableware, and more that will maintain the resort’s position at the forefront of the meetings industry for years to come.

Attendees at the first look of the Convention Center refresh were treated to an executive leadership discussion in partnership with TED featuring Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort, Tony Yousfi, chief sales officer, and moderated by Marcy Miles, chief marketing officer. Attendees heard first-hand about the level of detail and planning that resulted in the design of the new space, the innovations that meeting planners and attendees will experience, and the positive impacts meetings have on the local community.

“What really brought this project to life was the feedback from our customers,” said Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. “This city is the most competitive meetings market in the world but what’s different about our approach is that we’re thinking about the entire experience and investing $1.5 billion throughout the resort. So, by next year we’ll have new suites, new culinary, and new entertainment. The whole entire package will be best in the business and combined with our service there’s no better place to be.”

The renovation will include an elevated lounge-style space for executives. The new 10,000 square foot speakeasy-style lounge will provide an opportunity to host invitation-only designed with rich woods, marble, velvet, and mirror symbolizing a romantic, layered, and modern take on the Venetian design of 1930s.

“We are a reflection of our customers’ brands, and we take that responsibility very seriously,” said Tony Yousfi, chief sales officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. “We’ve made significant investments to allow our customers’ brands to come to life including enhanced digital signage, a state-of-the-art technology, ability to broadcast through a private channel directly to attendee suites, and more.”

The Convention Center seamlessly integrates traditional architectural with contemporary design elements that result in a harmonious fusion of the resort’s rich heritage and modern sophistication. The interior is adorned with a serene color palette of cream, white and platinum, accented by caramel upholstery and brilliant blue demark carpeting – all of which infuse a touch of vibrant energy. Classic silhouetted Murano glass chandeliers and streamlined brass sconces situated throughout set an interplay of ‘modernity in tradition’ while polished furnishings, rich embroideries, and antiques enliven the promenades with a bespoke level of layering, detail, and attention. Throughout the complex, a robust furnishing and fine art program will be complimented by improved lighting, audio visual updates, and thoughtfully integrated state-of-the-art digital screens and technology to create an even more powerful backdrop for meeting planners and events.
