The Event Space will have the capacity to host up to 200 people and have the ability to expand capacity utilizing the coffee shop and bistro to host fully catered events for up to 350 people.
"During the two days that we hosted VR Fest, we had over 3,000 people in the SuperStore each day. Las Vegas brings people from all over the world together to attend unique events and personal celebrations each year.

"We view each event we host as an opportunity to showcase our brands and create a lasting memory. There is nothing like our Superstore anywhere in the world, and as our reputation has grown, we have experienced growing demand for a premium event space, located within walking distance of the Las Vegas Strip, to host everything from weddings to smaller conferences. We guarantee that you'll remember your event, the Superstore and the TRENDI vape that was with you the whole time."
The Phase II expansion of the Superstore will include a coffee shop, bistro/pizzeria, an event space, and a consumer-facing production facility. Every part of the Phase II expansion is designed to enhance the customer experience and entertainment value of the SuperStore, driving more traffic and creating a memorable experience for every visitor.
