It’s Your Chance to Check Out The Las Vegas Design Center
If you have some time this weekend and some money to spend, or even if you don’t have any money to spend, but always wondered what the inside of the huge buildings on Grand Central Parkway looked like, now is your chance. I am referring to the Las Vegas Design Center at the World Market Center.
For those of you, like me, who are not too familiar with the World Market Center, I found out it is the possibly the largest wholesale furniture showroom in the world. It is comprised of 3 buildings that are approximately 5 million square feet in total. It is only open to people in the retail furniture and design trades. The Las Vegas Design Center consists of 400,000 square feet of permanent showrooms for interior decorators.
This weekend, November 21 - 22, 2008, the Las Vegas Design Center will be open to public for a special charity event. The California/Central Nevada chapter of American Society of Interior Designers is holding a special Sample Sale. Admission is $10 which will be donated to Habitat for Humanity, Nevada AIDS Project and Opportunity Village and you get a free ticket to the Opportunity Village Magical Forest. Items that you can buy and/or browse include designer sofas, chairs, bedroom sets, dining sets, tables, area rugs, lighting, accessories, accent pieces, lamps, wall art, paintings, frames, prints, mirrors and more.
I am usually not much of an interior decorator, but this sounds like it would be really fun. The address is 495 S. Grand Central Parkway, self parking is free and the sale starts at 9:00 a.m. each day.
