Symphony Park: The Transformation of a Brownfield into the City’s Center of Culture and Art

Tour Symphony Park, a 61-acre infill piece in the heart of downtown Las Vegas that is today the city’s center of arts, culture, and medicine with leaders from the city of Las Vegas Economic and Urban Development team. Once a brownfield, the site sat dormant for decades as the city of Las Vegas evolved around it. Today, Symphony Park is home to the magnificent Smith Center for Performing Arts (one of the country’s most acoustically sound theatres), Discovery Children’s Museum, and a recently announced Las Vegas Museum of Art funded in part by Elaine P. Wynn and Family Foundation in partnership with Los Angeles County Museum of Art that is currently under an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with the city. Symphony Park is also home to two completed apartment buildings with three others currently under construction or in development, the famed Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health designed by Frank Gehry; Vic’s Las Vegas, a restaurant/lounge ideal for dining before or after the show at The Smith Center; and coming soon, a dual-branded hotel (Marriott/Westin).
