Caesars Entertainment Corporation moved another step closer to building its new convention center reports the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The Clark County Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved plans for the $375 million Caesars Forum Meeting Center to be built just east of the High Roller observation wheel on land currently used as a surface parking lot.
The company previously announced that it would break ground on the project later this month and is planning a 2020 completion.
In documents reviewed by commissioners, the project is described as covering 550,797 square feet with a 107,000-sf outdoor plaza on 29 acres and would be 115 feet tall.
