Rod Stewart to headline grand opening
Industry will find a 'Reason to Believe' when Grammy winner highlights biggest night of year
 |
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, songwriter and multiplatinum solo artist is set to deliver unprecedented star power as exhibitors and buyers from around the globe celebrate the highly anticipated grand opening of Building C on the campus of WMCLV. Tonight's the night, indeed.
The grand opening festivities will start with a dramatic Las Vegas-style ribbon-cutting ceremony with project officials and special guests at the end of Market's opening day in the newly completed magnificent Grand Plaza. Then, Stewart will take center stage in this free concert, exclusively for Las Vegas Market attendees. Food, spirits and a barrage of surprises will be on hand throughout the evening.
Recognized as one of the top 10 biggest- selling artists in recording history, Stewart has been renowned for his stellar vocal talent, including a 2005 Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
“The industry has been highly anticipating the opening of Building C as a watershed event, and Rod Stewart is the kind of world-class entertainment that is consistent with the quality level of World Market Center and Las Vegas,” said Robert Maricich, president and chief executive officer of WMCLV. “Our campus is now fully integrated with 5 million square feet of permanent showrooms, exhibition space, designer brands, buyer amenities, a new parking complex and a spectacular Grand Plaza. In addition to celebrating our grand opening, we are raising the bar for the market experience of buyers and exhibitors and will deliver a truly unprecedented event.”
