Las Vegas, a city with countless conventions and trade shows, has been recognized nationally for having top-of-the-line convention and meeting spaces.
The Wall Street Journal published a ranking of the top 30 convention centers in the U.S., and three from Las Vegas were in the top 10. The Las Vegas Convention Center grabbed the top spot and the other two convention centers that made the top 10 were the Venetian Convention and Expo Center, which ranked third, and the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, which ranked seventh.
The Las Vegas Convention Center was able to grab the top spot due to its high number of meeting rooms, abundant space — it has 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space which is second only to the McCormick Place in Chicago — as well as its proximity to the airport and entertainment options. All of which are important for a convention center to stand out.
