With a footprint nearly the size of two football fields, the new exhibition center at the Clark County Fairgrounds provides 112,000 SF of column-free space for a variety of shows and events. Exhibitors can drive a semi-truck inside to load large-scale installations. The flexible and functional space can accommodate up to 530 exhibitor booths and host three separate events simultaneously. It can also provide theater seating for more than 2,000 people. The project is the first phase in the Clark County Fairgrounds Master Plan, which includes improvements for putting the 50-year-old fairgrounds to better use year-round, spurring job creation and economic development for the community.
