Cox Business Collaborates With Las Vegas Convention Center

Cox Business’ Hospitality Network today announced it is powering the connected guest experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center’s (LVCC) West Hall expansion – just in-time for the return to in-person events.

To kick off its summer season, the LVCC and new 1.4 million square foot, $1 billion West Hall will host World of Concrete (June 8-10), the first major convention to return to Las Vegas and the U.S. post-pandemic. Cox will play a major role by keeping attendees connected through a fast, dense and high-performing WiFi network that covers the entire 1.4 million sq. ft. facility, from the exhibition to meeting rooms to parking lots. 

“We are pleased to continue our valued relationship with Cox, which has spanned more than seven years,” said Brian Yost, chief operating officer at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “We are pleased to offer our convention customers the dependable connectivity and cutting-edge technology Cox Business delivers throughout our new West Hall.”
