The Venetian Resort on the Las Vegas Strip is rolling out a fresh luxury option for conventioneers, with plans to open a new meeting space called the Lusso Lounge on the third floor of its convention center in the fourth quarter of 2026. The 10,000 square foot venue is aimed at executive and incentive groups that want a private counterpoint to the resort’s massive exhibit halls. Resort officials say the goal is to give corporate programs an elevated, finish-forward setting when they come through Las Vegas.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Lusso Lounge name and the fourth-quarter 2026 timing surfaced in a company release this week. The paper reports that the lounge will sit on the convention center’s third floor and will be marketed specifically to C-suite clients and senior meeting planners.
Design and scale
The resort’s announcement, shared in a release by The Venetian Resort, describes Lusso as roughly 10,000 square feet with a speakeasy-style flow and plenty of high-end finishes. Design firm Woogmaster Studio leaned into woods, marble and plush fabrics to create a more intimate, design-forward environment than the neighboring exhibit halls that typically host large trade show traffic.
In a press release from The Venetian Resort, Chief Sales Officer Tony Yousfi said, "We're reimagining that spirit for today's business leaders," calling Lusso a sophisticated, thoughtfully curated environment meant to foster meaningful connections. His comments underline the property’s push to offer premium, bookable spaces inside a building better known for its sprawling trade show floors.
Part of a wider overhaul
The Venetian’s convention footprint covers roughly 2.25 million square feet, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and the Lusso Lounge announcement arrives in the middle of a multiyear refresh of that vast complex. The renovation, widely reported at about 188 million dollars, has been unfolding in phases and is intended to update finishes, technology and hospitality offerings for group business, as outlined by Forbes Travel Guide.
What it means for Las Vegas meetings
The Venetian Expo already anchors some of the city’s biggest gatherings, from the Global Gaming Expo in the fall to the SHOT Show each January, so a high-end, reservable lounge gives planners another lever to pull for VIP breakouts, executive dinners and curated off-floor sessions. Coverage from CDC Gaming and event listings at ProExpoService show the property remains a go-to site for major trade shows, and Lusso is clearly aimed at the executive-level programming those events spin off.
The resort has not released pricing or a public booking calendar for Lusso yet, and group sales details are expected to follow as the project moves from design into the pre-opening phase. For now, the announcement is another sign that Las Vegas resorts are layering boutique, design-forward spaces on top of the city’s traditional convention infrastructure.
