LUXOR CONVENTION CENTER

MGM Resorts International Design and Development chose NOVUS Architecture to transform an existing retail space at Luxor Las Vegas into a convention space. The expansion includes (5) 1,600 square foot meeting rooms, (1) 300 square foot meeting room, (3) 2,700 square foot ballrooms, (1) 4,700 square foot pre-function room, (2) service/pantry areas, restrooms, and a service corridor. The finishes and light fixtures selected for the new convention expansion were used to update the look of the existing Luxor ballrooms. One of the main challenges for the convention expansion is removing (4) existing structural columns to create an open and unobstructed ballroom space. Another challenge is transitioning to a more contemporary aesthetic while still fitting in with the Egyptian-themed casino. Due to a limited budget, many of the design decisions were financially driven. To reduce construction costs, the existing ceiling in the new pre-function area was retained, along with many existing mechanical units throughout the space. NOVUS worked closely with a cost estimator to ensure the proposed design stayed within budget.
