Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center Las Vegas will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 13-14 for a special clearance sale as part of its semi-annual Pre-Market Inventory Clearance Sale which benefits three local charities.

The Pre-Market Inventory Clearance Sale supports Habitat for Humanity, Nevada AIDS Project and Opportunity Village. The California/Central Nevada chapter of American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) hosts the event and provides professional designers to consult with shoppers.

A variety of showrooms on the first and second floors of Buildings A and B will offer special buying opportunities, including designer sofas, chairs, bedroom sets, dining sets, tables, area rugs, lighting, accessories, accent pieces, lamps, wall art, paintings, frames, prints, mirrors and more.

"The semi-annual Pre-Market Inventory Clearance Sale gives the general public an opportunity to learn more about the Las Vegas Design Center and to buy beautiful products from our designer showrooms," said William Grenewald, General Manager of Las Vegas Design Center at World Market Center Las Vegas. "With the July Las Vegas Market approaching, showrooms are eager to sell floor samples prior to the Market and make room for new product introductions."

Pastel Furniture sells off its entire inventory twice a year prior to Market, in order to make room for new styles and designs, says Ed Barbari, showroom manager. "Everyone wants to see what the Las Vegas Design Center has to offer," Barbari said. "This is a great opportunity for locals to get inside and take advantage of the specials being offered during the Pre-Market Inventory Clearance Sale."

Diana Tennyson, gallery manager for new Century Picture Corp, said she is looking forward to the event. "This sale offers a rare opportunity for the general public to avail themselves of the same resources utilized in designing homes worth millions of dollars," she says. "Designers will be available to help shoppers select the pieces that will best complement the décor of their homes."

Mollie Stewart, showroom manager for Dovetail Furniture, says that December's pre-market sale was remarkably helpful in clearing out her showroom. She hopes for the same in June, and says it's a win-win situation for shoppers and sellers alike. "Whether you're looking to furnish an entire house or you just need a little something for a specific area of your home, this sale is a great opportunity to find some deals," she says.

Nearly 11,000 Las Vegas residents attended 2007's pre-market sales event which raised $109,170 for three local charities. American Society for Interior Designers members will be available to help members of the community with their purchases and selections and deliveries can be arranged for a fee.
