About the Venetian Expo
Paradise, Nevada, close to the Las Vegas Strip, is home to the Venetian Expo, a convention center that also goes by the name Venetian Convention and Expo Center. It belongs to the Venetian and Palazzo resort complex. Las Vegas Sands developed it as the Sands Expo, which opened on November 9, 1990, behind the Sands Hotel. The hotel shut in 1996, and the Venetian resort took its place three years afterward. Las Vegas Sands changed the name to Venetian Expo in September 2021.
County approval came in October 1989 for a Sands Hotel convention center of about 1.1 million square feet, a size meant to rival the Las Vegas Convention Center. Ground was broken on November 12, 1989. Its first event was the COMDEX computer trade show. At launch it was unique in the US as a privately owned and operated convention center, and it ranked second in size among the world's convention centers.
A 2003 expansion was followed a decade later by a $35 million renovation that added carpeting, lighting and motion sensors in support of environmental goals. The center offers 2.25 million square feet (209,000 m2) of space. Among its events are the Consumer Electronics Show, the Global Gaming Expo and the Adult Entertainment Expo, and Shark Tank shot its 12th season there in 2020.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 800 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 9 mm | 1:5,000 |
| 200 mm | 11 mm | 1:4,000 |

- A wide roof with many units
- Dozens of small raised units dot the broad flat roof. A larger print size keeps them; Print friendly adapts the smallest to the print scale, and Full detail keeps them all.
- A curved side wall
- One side wall curves along the road. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the curve smooth.
- One piece with the ground
- The Venetian Expo 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 Venetian Expo 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.
About this model
The Venetian Expo is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Venetian Expo STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Venetian Expo grows with the print: about 9 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
