Las Vegas Market announced that accelerating growth in temporary exhibits is expected to bring an unprecedented number of high-quality companies to its Summer 2015 edition, eclipsing the offering from previous markets. Nearly 500 new and returning temporary exhibitors will participate in the upcoming Las Vegas Market, running from Sunday, August 2, through Thursday, August 6, 2015. With the addition of new temporary venue The Pavilions, open August 2-5, the market’s summer edition brings a collective 90,000 gross square feet of space dedicated to gift, home décor, antiques, vintage and more.

Gift, home décor and vintage retailers can shop and source a wealth of resources within the new, repositioned and reimagined temporary exhibits at The Pavilions at Las Vegas Market this August.
