“The number of gift resources available at Las Vegas Market continues to grow market-over-market and Building C now presents more than 2,700 gift lines in nearly 450,000 square feet of permanent showrooms on seven floors,” said Dave Savula, executive vice president of gift and apparel leasing for International Market Centers. “In addition to debuts by newcomers to Las Vegas Market, these latest renewals confirm the Market’s ability to provide a return on investments for our customers.”

Two companies will be debuting showrooms on floor 10 in Building C for Summer Market. Cody Foster, a producer of ornaments, seasonal objects and novelties, will be opening its first West Coast showroom in 684 square feet; and Vintage Addiction, a supplier of home décor, handbags and jewelry, will be opening its first-ever permanent showroom in 1,530 square feet.
