AS EASY AS A, B SEE: Las Vegas Market doubles its pleasure with a one-two punch in permanent showrooms

Reposted from January 31 due to date errors

Retailers now a have dual-structured "standing" invitation the Las Vegas Market, with the imprint (footprint) of two architecturally attractive exhibition Buildings A and B.

Well into the third day of the Market, spirited retailers kept coming. On opening day Monday and through Tuesday, the new 16-story Building B was a B-hive.

Much of the same high energy that defined the inaugural Market in Summer 2005 continued to be pervasive. Market registration is the highest, officials said, without quantifying the seller-buyer ratio. As with any Market or trade show, registration and actual attendance can differ, up or down. Many showrooms reported record attendance.

How much the Market joy actually translates into business is yet to be firmly quantified. Certainly smiling faces are an indicator.

The bustling Market itself constitutes a living marketing device to project and present the next growth phase on this compact campus, Building C, a 2.1 million square foot structure scheduled to be completed in time for Summer Market 2008 when Las Vegas will boast more than 5 million square feet of permanent showrooms.

The quality, diversity and influence of Building C tenants are pivotal to the future of this Market. How well and how fast the new building can be leased could determine future market dates, which was hinted at a news conference on Monday.

Speculative discussion about proposed Building C tenancy is fueling back channel talk whether the World Market Center would move market dates to late summer or even Fall 2008 and early March 2009 which would be contend High Point’s Market.
