I absolutely love going to the events they have, they're usually big and have many options to look at, or even shop for something special. I hope everyone can get out and enjoy the time we all get together for the great work of the convention center 😁🥰👍🏻

Was here for Sci-Fi Valley Con. This place is huge and has major accommodations! It was a wonderful experience and can not wait until next year to come back! Reviewed by Amblissity.

1st class operation home to many great events. Wine and music to name a few. Casual or elegant they do both very well. We were at the Eagles cover band show. A lot of fun and you sit Vegas style at tables. Lots of charity events and conventions. Also do weddings.
