World Market Center Las Vegas, is a 5-million-square-foot (460,000 m2) showcase for the home and hospitality contract furnishings industry in downtown Las Vegas. It is the largest showroom complex in the world for the home and hospitality furnishings industry, serving domestic and international sellers and buyers.
Building A opened in May 2005 with 1,300,000 sq ft (120,000 m2). The first show hosted in Building A, held July 21–25, 2005, was so overbooked that it used space in three Pavilions (huge tent structures) and the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Construction on the 16 story, 2,100,000 sq ft (200,000 m2) Building C started on September 27, 2006 and completed July 2008. In conjunction with the opening of Building C, a $60-million, seven-story parking garage with 175,000 sq ft (16,300 m2) on each level also opened in July 2008.
In a deal expected to close in third quarter 2017, Blackstone Real Estate Partners, Blackstone Tactical Opportunities and Fireside Investments purchased the ownership from IMC("International Market Centers", formed by Bain Capital and Oaktree Capital Management).
