All across America, cities have been trying to revitalize their downtown areas in a hope to draw more people and tourism to the area. Dallas is the most recent city to try and create a vibrant downtown entertainment district that will appeal to convention goers, leisure travelers and locals. The new Omni Dallas Convention Center Hotel is located on 6 acres (2 hectares) of an 8-acre (3-hectare) site in downtown Dallas, with the remaining 2 acres (1 hectare) slated for dining, retail, office and other pedestrian amenities for both hotel guests and local residents. Scheduled to open in early 2012, the Omni Dallas Hotel connects via skybridge to the 2.1 million-square-foot (195,090-m~2) Dallas Convention Center, and is designed to achieve LEED Silver certification from the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council.
