Las Vegas City Hall, Municipal government building in Downtown Las Vegas, US.
Las Vegas City Hall is a 1960s modernist complex whose original eleven-story central tower was completed in 1973, with its main entrance on Stewart Avenue in downtown Las Vegas. A 2003 addition wrapped the tower in a three-story surround with extra office space, a parking deck and a sky bridge linking the deck to the building.
The eleven-story tower was completed in 1973 as Las Vegas's municipal government centre, with its main entrance on Stewart Avenue. A three-story surround, extra offices, a parking deck and a sky bridge were added in 2003, a scheme that won an AIA Nevada Citation award that year. The city vacated the building in early 2012, and Zappos bought it for $18 million and occupied it in 2013 after renovation. Zappos sold the property in 2020 for $65 million in a sale-and-leaseback deal.
The building's name changed hands rather than its purpose: after the city moved out in early 2012, Zappos bought it in 2012 for $18 million and occupied it in 2013 following a renovation. In 2020 the company sold the property for $65 million in a sale-and-leaseback deal with an entity tied to founder Tony Hsieh.
The main entrance faces Stewart Avenue, not Main Street. The 2003 addition added a parking deck linked to the tower by a sky bridge, so visitors arriving by car can park there. The building is now Zappos headquarters rather than an active city hall, so access is not open to the public as a government office.
The building's 2003 addition, a three-story surround to the original tower, won the American Institute of Architects Nevada Citation award that same year. It added office space, a parking deck and a sky bridge linking the deck to the structure.
