Entertainment puting
steel into the Vegas
events soul
Caesars Entertainment Corporation has
marked a construction milestone for the
51,096sqm conference facility underway
in Las Vegas. The first steel truss for
CAESARS FORUM, a $375m
conference centre has been built and will
be part of what will be one of the two
largest column-free ballrooms in the
world when it opens in 2020.
The 27.8m wide and 200-ton steel
truss marks the first of over a mile of
trusses that will be used in the venue
construction.
“This is an exciting step towards the
development of CAESARS FORUM
which will redefine the offerings for
meetings and events in Las Vegas,” said
Michael Massari, Chief Sales Officer at
Caesars Entertainment.
Additional one-of-a-kind features of
CAESARS FORUM include:
• 9,500 tons of steel and 2,000 tons of
rebar
• 30,000 cubic yards of concrete footings
• 36,232sqm of carpeting
• 2 miles of airwalls
Within walking distance to more than
20,000 Caesars Entertainment hotel
rooms, the new LEED silver-rated
facility will provide a major new option
for meetings and events.
CAESARS FORUM will be the first
facility of this size built on one level and
will also feature FORUM Plaza, the first
9,290sqm dedicated outdoor meeting and
event space in Las Vegas.
