Offering its attendees more than just a world-class venue to exhibit and shop for the latest in home furnishings and accessories, World Market Center Las Vegas announced a full line-up of social events and receptions that will take place during the Summer 2012 Las Vegas Market.

Kicking off the week, prior to Las Vegas Market's official opening, WMC will host a Rep Appreciation Party on Sunday, July 29 from 12 p.m.- 2:00 p.m. in the Grand Plaza. Reps can take a break from their preparations and enjoy good food and networking with their peers.

The centerpiece of the week's social events will be the Opening Night Celebration on 30 July at 6 p.m., with the critically acclaimed acro-cabaret variety show Absinthe, which performs nightly under the Tent at Caesars Palace. The evening will include several performances by the troupe, where they will undertake daring feats of strength, danger and unfathomable flexibility to the music of DJ Twin. The evening will be complemented by themed stations offering treats and sweets matched up to the circus-like atmosphere created on the Plaza.
