Nextel Station

Nextel’s massive ad blitz has hit Las Vegas, where the wireless carrier most used by builders plans to build a 15,000-square-foot technology showcase at the Convention Center stop on the new Las Vegas Monorail. Scheduled to open a few months after the Monorail finally starts running this spring, the new facility will show off Nextel’s latest wireless innovations to the 35 million people who annually travel to Las Vegas for trade shows. Nextel plans to target vertical markets as industries come to town, so any construction-related shows will be targeted for builders and the trades.
