The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is in midst of a $188 million renovation of its convention and expo center, which completed in stages through 2026. The first finished floor of the project was recently unveiled.
The renovation, led by locally based design firm Woogmaster Studio, is an integral part of the resort’s extensive $1 billion capital investment project. Inspired by the needs of the property’s long-standing group guests, key design elements will include an elegant new color palette that departs from the aesthetics of traditional convention spaces, luxury lounge spaces for meetings, and innovative technology.
“What really brought this project to life was the feedback from our customers,” says 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 convention center’s new color palette will include calming hues like cream, white, and platinum, accented by caramel upholstery and blue carpeting. Classic silhouetted Murano glass chandeliers and streamlined brass sconces will be situated throughout, while polished furnishings, rich embroideries, and antiques will enliven the promenade space.
Elevated lounge spaces will also be added. A new 10,000-square-foot speakeasy-style lounge—complete with rich woods, marble, velvet, and 1930s-inspired mirrors—will provide space for invitation-only events.
Additional updates will include improved lighting, audio visual upgrades, and integrated state-of-the-art digital screens and technology for meetings and events.
