This is a great place for assemblies n for big crowds as well. Sorrounded by ample parking n entrances that make it convenient to enter.

Very convenient location and design of building. Ive enjoyed all events I attended here. My association hosted a large event here with very high praise and support from the center. Only issue is there is little to no free parking nearby. Handicap and DV can park for free in the garage.

Older convention center but surprisingly very well maintained, still gets the job done. Bathrooms are always clean. Becareful not to try to park a lifted truck of anything above 4+ in there lower parking area.

Okay, why cant we get comfortable seats in this venue? I enjoy seeing events here, but the next day, my body protests...but seriously the location is great. Nice venue for certain events. Great parking. But please get better, more comfortable seats.

Good place for conferences, a little confusing to arrive and find the parking. The entrances, elevators are not well signed. Same with the buildings there. But in general a good place to come a to a concert, conference or big event.

Went to several concerts here. Seating was a bit uncomfortable, but acoustics are good. Staff is friendly. Pricing is ok depending who is performing. They have stairs and elevators to get back and forth to seating areas. If buying merchandise, pay cash. The lines take too long with credit cards, which is disappointing, since we have better technology out there, that they should be using.

Venue is fairly good, but the fee for using their electricity is ludicrous. Overall in a good and convenient location. Parking out back is very limited and free parking is a ways away.

Attended Willie Wonkas Chocolate Factory musical. The attendants were great! I would like to see an investment in new seating and floors. The interior is very outdated.

Got a call from my friend telling me if I wanted to join her to an event, but that she would pick me up in fifteen minutes. The rush was worth it. Enjoyed the program & Mr. Matt Maher. Saw a friend I had not seen in years, was in here wedding 48 years ago.Thank u God for so many blessings.

I was here for the volleyball tournament on Jan, 4 2020. Started off well but when it came to around 11:30 am I went out side to eat some food I had purchased but was met with a “security officer” who said I could not eat there (outside of the convention center) then I proceeded to say “I need your manager to come out and tell me that” a man came out saying he was the manager and said that the convention center is not owned by the city of El Paso it is not public property. After later research I found out it is in fact owned by the city of El Paso. And that I could eat there. I will never again visit the El Paso convention center until this horrible manager is fired.

The lobby is phenomenal and a perfect entrance way to any meeting but I approached the performing arts center from the back where I got off the bus downtown and had to walk all the way around to enter the building

Went there for an RV show. Parking is easy in and out and elevators are convenient, although they open outside on the plaza, not inside the convention center. We had to wait for the show to open and the restrooms are inside the ropes where tickets were taken. A lot of folks wanted to use them but were not allowed. There was also no place to sit- that was also inside the ropes. That said, the restrooms are very nice and clean. The area around the center is lovely with lots to explore. Make sure your map app is up to date as there is a lot of construction downtown and many street closures.

This is a venue that hosts many events. There is underground parking here if youre going to do anything in downtown El Paso its a good place to use if it is open very secure

Audio mix is tricky here, particularly at higher volumes. It really is time for El Paso to BUILD a new performing arts venue!But while the Ancients continue to value the dalapidated stash shed of Pancho Villa more than modernity and quality of life improvements, I guess thatll never happen.Still moderately enjoy the artists I like when they make it here.

Review №44

Attended the Home and Pet Show and its big enough that vendors were not crunched for space. There were hot tub displays, mattress layouts, tiny houses, window exhibits, two pet rescues offering dogs for adoptions (big and small, each in its own kennel) AND live horse rides.There was plenty of aisle space for large pets (leashed, of course), for baby strollers, for a family to walk 4 abreast.Quite enjoyable to walk around leisurely!

Review №68

A large venue with three levels of seating, plenty of parking and good audio. It could definitely use a camera crew and projectors with large video screens on the left and right sides of the stage, high enough to help audience members in the balcony and grand tier see the performers better. It is a clean yet old building that needs some minor updates/improvements.

Are horrible very uncomfortable. The cushions are worn no comfort. The chairs are very small and close together if the person next to you are big makes it very uncomfortable. Hope in the near future they can be replaced. The facility itself is great but the chairs inside the auditorium

Its a small conference center in downtown El Paso, which is really nice now, but improvement over the 90s.

Very nice venue, however the seats are VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.An 80 minute performance was almost unbearable, if it had gone longer, we would probably have left.The 4 stars are for the total venue, what a beautiful hall.
