We visited the RCC for Raleighpalooza 2012 on 05/05/12 and this place looks too cool! Outside and in its very modern and HUGE.

The Marriott and the CC are accessible to each other via a tunnel. Hubby's company has their Winter Party there at the CC. They do a great catering job and the food is always excellent. I have also been to a home show there. More

We have attended a black tie ball, an automobile convention and an international festival at the convention center and it was a perfect space for each event. Parking is plentiful in the garage, the whole place is virtually brand new and very well maintained. I highly recommend it. More
