Chandra Allison spent more than two decades filling the nearly 2.3 million-square-foot Sands (now Venetian) Convention and Expo Center with large trade shows, conferences, meetings and other special events.

Her new role in overseeing the convention and meetings facility for the planned $3 billion Oak View Las Vegas project will be at a smaller scale than the Venetian Expo, considered the 10th largest convention complex in the United States.

“It’s definitely going to target the high-end luxury customer looking for quality over quantity,” Allison said last week after being named senior vice president of the project, which is being developed on 25 acres at Las Vegas Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road by Los Angeles-based Oak View Group.
