DesignerCon attracts more than 70,000 attendees each year and hundreds more artists and vendors.

The massive World Market Center complex next to Interstate-15 has been open since 2005 and brings thousands of visitors to Las Vegas each year.
The CinemaCon trade show at Caesars Palace offered plenty of ideas for new revenue streams, along with the viral “Dune: Part Two” popcorn bucket.
Those massive movies were showcased during the annual gathering of the National Association of Theatre Owners at Caesars Palace.
The famous Las Vegas venue, which has already hosted U2 and booked a UFC sporting event, has landed its first business conference customer.
“The demand for everything related to home is just really strong at retail and that was apparent here,” said Bob Maricich, CEO of International Market Centers, said of the home furnishings trade show.
With conventiongoers and visitors beginning to return to Las Vegas, one restaurant at World Market Center is showing glimmers of a strong recovery.
Vendors and buyers at the downtown Las Vegas event welcomed the show as a sign of recovery and a step toward normalcy.
