Kind Heaven at The LINQ Promenade will offer Southeast Asian culture, music, food, danger, fashion, exoticism, exploration, mystery and spiritual enlightenment. Featuring a soundscape curated by Perry Farrell (front man for Jane’s Addiction and creator of Lollapalooza), Kind Heaven will provide a variety of experiences, from dark and mysterious back alleys to a Forest Temple and Sanctuary. Ferrell describes Kind Heaven as an immersive entertainment complex. It doesn’t have chairs like a traditional theater. It will have stages within the complex for music and other types of entertainment, but you’re basically walking through a 90-minute show routed in mythology. When you’re within the complex, you’re free to roam around and discover hidden alleyways, visit nightclubs and eat from Hong Kong-style street food vendors. There will be improvisational actors, musicians, acrobats and comedians, combining elements of sensuality and espionage into an experience that will be a first of its kind. Kind Heaven will be family friendly by day and adult at night. It is scheduled to open in 2019.

MGM Convention Center Expansion A $130 Million may not sound like much money, but it’s what this expansion represents. Las Vegas is currently rated #1 in the USA for convention destinations and despite the mass amounts of current space available Las Vegas demands more. The number of convention delegates visiting Las Vegas has risen 41 percent since 2010 to top 6 million last year. The expansion will be an extra 250,000 square feet, bringing this destination to a total of 850,000 square feet. To create a mental picture that would be like combining 6 large Costco buildings.
All Net Resort-Arena Clark County commissioners approved in October 2017 the next phase of the arena, which would be located between The Drew and SLS on the Las Vegas Strip. This is a project of businessman and former basketball player Jackie Robinson.

The space will include multiple areas, one of which is likened to comic books, another to science fiction film “Blade Runner” and a third to the apocalyptic “Mad Max” film series. The project is expected to be complete by the end of 2019.
Las Vegas Convention Center Expansion The Riviera implosion in 2016 led the way for the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The $860 million addition, and after renovations, the exhibition hall will be North America’s second-largest (top honors go to Chicago’s McCormick Place). This mega project will proceed in phases. The first phase, the LVCC District Expansion, is expected to be finished by the end of 2020, while a subsequent renovation of the existing 3.2-million square-foot convention center will wrap in 2023.
