Las Vegas Set for an Unprecedented Convention Boom in 2026

L as Vegas is preparing for a landmark year in its evolution as the world’s premier meetings and events destination, with 2026 widely expected to be a recordbreaking year for conventions, trade shows and group travel. At the centre of this momentum is the completion of a US$600 million renovation and expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), a transformative infrastructure investment that industry leaders believe will unlock a new era of growth for the city’s tourism economy.

Slated for completion later this year, the final phase of the LVCC redevelopment is already reshaping how global event organisers, exhibitors and delegates view Las Vegas—not just as a place to meet, but as a destination designed for scale, efficiency and experience.

A Strategic Investment with LongTerm Vision

The US$600 million Phase 3 expansion of the LVCC represents one of the most consequential tourism infrastructure projects in the city’s recent history. The expansion is emerging as a key catalyst behind strong forward-looking indicators for group sales in 2026.

In a recent industry outlook, the project is a strategically timed investment that aligns with rising confidence among casino and resort operators. Much like Terminal 3 did for air travel, the expanded convention centre is expected to elevate Las Vegas’s capacity to attract largescale international conventions, reinforcing the city’s position as a global business hub while enhancing the overall visitor experience
