context_page_description: The Sands Expo and Convention Center is a large convention center. It opened in 1990 behind the original Sands Hotel, was the second largest convention center in the world when it opened.
  The Sands Expo is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. At its launch in 1990, it was the only privately owned and operated convention center in the United States. It is frequently used for conventions booked at the adjoining Venetian and Palazzo hotels and casinos and as overflow space for conventions that outgrow the Las Vegas Convention Center.
