About the Las Vegas Convention Center
The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) stands in Winchester, Nevada. It ranks among the largest convention centers worldwide, with 230,000 m2 (2,500,000 sq ft) of exhibit space. The 2008 Conexpo-Con/Agg construction trade show used the most space, 220,000 m2 (2,400,000 sq ft). Its roots go back to the 1950s, when city and county leaders saw a need for a convention facility.
Their first goal was to raise hotel occupancy in months with few tourists. They picked a location a block east of the Strip, where the failed Las Vegas Park Speedway had stood. A silver-domed rotunda with a 6,300 capacity and an adjoining exhibition hall of 8,400 m2 (90,000 sq ft) opened in April 1959. Adrian Jennings Wilson of Los Angeles was the architect of that original structure, and The Beatles played there on August 20, 1964.
The original silver dome came down in 1991 to make room for expansion. Afterward the center covered 150,000 m2 (1.6 million sq ft), among the biggest single-level facilities worldwide. A 1998 expansion lifted it to 180,000 m2 (1.9 million sq ft). The $150 million South Hall, topped out on February 20, 2001, was finished in 2004 and crosses Desert Inn Road, linked to the older buildings by four bridges. An expansion announced in 2018 at $890 million, the 14th in the center's history, added 130,000 m2 (1.4 million sq ft) on land where the Landmark and Riviera resorts had stood.

- Long flat roofs with small details
- The halls have wide flat roofs dotted with small rooftop features. Print friendly adapts those small details to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print.
- Curved connector between halls
- A curved arch links two of the halls. A layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the curve smooth, and a larger print size keeps more of its shape.
- One piece with the ground
- The Las Vegas Convention Center is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Las Vegas Convention Center takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
