Cashman Center
# Cashman Center

The Cashman Center or the Cashman Field Center is a 483,000 sq ft (44,900 $m^2)$ complex on a 55 acres (22 ha) site in Las Vegas, Nevada. Operated by the City of Las Vegas, it includes Cashman Field and a permanently closed 98,100 sq ft (9,110 $m^2)$ convention center. The center was mostly used for local events, but did host national events like the second 2008 Democratic presidential debate and the 2008-09 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships.

## History

The center opened in 1948. The convention center closed in 2017. The final event was the Moscow Ballet in December 2017. The convention center will be replaced by a larger downtown expo center.

The adjacent field complex remains open and in use. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the parking lot was painted with spaces six feet apart to enforce social distancing among the homeless people that were sleeping there while a shelter was being cleaned after an infected person had been at the facility.
