About the Henderson
Event Center
The reimagination of the Henderson Pavilion into a more useful and better designed venue via the help of a public/private partnership with an affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights is an opportunity most cities could only dream of.
Good for Henderson
If approved, the proposed Henderson Event Center is an enclosed venue that would replace the aging Henderson Pavilion. It would accommodate events of all kinds year-round and would serve as the game day home of Henderson’s new American Hockey League team, as well as the home of performing arts groups like the Henderson Symphony Orchestra.
The City of Henderson is dedicated to designing an upscale venue that is compatible with the area and would protect nearby neighborhoods with increased onsite parking. If approved, this will be our new heart and home for community events, arts, culture and sports—from networking and graduations to concerts, center ice and more.
Community
Something for everyone.
Community centers bring together family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and clients, making us feel connected to one another and enhancing our pride in where we live, work and play. When people feel a strong sense of civic pride around place, amazing things happen. Local businesses thrive. Property values increase. Individual happiness soars. The proposed Henderson Event Center recognizes what makes our community and neighborhoods unique and works to make them even better.
A place for connection.
Great cities are built on thriving small businesses and relationships. The Henderson Event Center provides the perfect hosting platform for business networking, trade events, chamber meetings and professional mixers.
A place for celebrations.
Inspiring the next generation to become active citizens influencing a better future starts here with high school and higher-ed graduations, and events in our community.
A place for harmony.
Nothing brings people closer together than the power of music. Here, an enclosed space, enhanced comfort and state-of-the-art sound will elevate our local, live music experience to new heights without disturbing the local neighborhood.
A place for growth.
Science, technology, engineering and math are driving the future of our workforce. What better place to drive science fairs, robotics competitions and other events to engage and inspire our youth?
A place for winning.
This is our town. This is our time. This is our team. Henderson born. AHL hockey. This is what started it all and what will keep us all cheering for generations to come.

Parking and Transportation
Parking, traffic and pedestrian improvements are at the core of the Henderson Pavilion transformation into the proposed Henderson Event Center. Pedestrian bridges and underpasses. Key intersection improvements. Traffic signal and video monitoring. Traffic officers and crossing guards. All are key components in making getting to and from the Event Center a breeze.
Parking
For a capacity crowd of 6,000 people, approximately 1,600 spaces are needed for parking, according to a parking and transportation study of the area by Kimley-Horn, one of the nation’s premier planning and design engineering firms.
Traffic
Based on traffic studies and a comprehensive traffic count of the area conducted on February 14, 2020, a busy Valentine’s “night out,” Kimley-Horn is currently developing a traffic plan for Henderson Event Center that will identify several area improvements.
Improvements
Henderson is well known as a family-friendly place to live, a place where neighbors look out for one another. In that spirit, we are laser-focused on making the proposed Henderson Event Center an upgrade to the lifestyle for residents living in the immediate area.
Let’s welcome our
Henderson Silver Knights
This is our town. The proposed Henderson Event Center would build upon the enthusiasm Henderson residents already have for the Vegas Golden Knights and offer up a new, family-friendly pricing model combined with all the excitement, energy and pride of professional hockey. With the AHL in town hosting 34 games per year, Henderson will truly mean Hockey!
This is our time. Lifeguard Arena is already under construction in historic downtown Henderson and is where our Henderson Silver Knights will train and house its hockey operations. Momentum is building.
This is our team. Our Henderson Silver Knights are backed by the NHL Vegas Golden Knights organization which has committed to making a significant, matching private investment in the proposed Henderson Event Center for the benefit of Henderson residents. The organization is well prepared to ensure first-class programming and fan experience, access to quality acts, events and exceptional food and beverage offerings.
