The Sands Expo and Convention Center, at 2.25 million square feet, is a large convention center. [1] It opened in 1990 across the street from the original Sands Hotel, was the second largest convention center in the world when it opened.
Located at 201 Sands Avenue Las Vegas, Nevada, the Sands Expo is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. It is frequently used for conventions booked at the adjoining Venetian and Palazzo hotels and casinos (which are owned by the same company) and as overflow space for conventions that outgrow the Las Vegas Convention Center.
