The El Paso downtown area is in great need of an economic stimulus program and currently, there are efforts in progress to revitalize the downtown area. I hope that studies such as this will prompt further research into the benefits of having an after-hours hospitality district in the El Paso downtown area. Further research should include the following: gross revenues, employment, sales taxes and fees generated, numbers of late night workers leaving business establishments after closing hours and other quantitative measures. This qualitative research paper follows a case study methodology with a thematic analysis of the data that exists on after-hours hospitality districts throughout the U.S. and the world. El Paso can be a “Sociable City”™ and the International City/County Management Association, headquartered in Washington, D.C. has this to say on its website: “Every community has buildings, streets, sidewalks, lights, and parks. What distinguishes one community from another are the people and the opportunity to share food, drink, music, and dance in safe and convenient venues. It is the social connectivity and relationships that make life worth living and that define a vibrant community. “[ICM13] In this paper, primary and secondary data has been researched to identify gaps in the knowledge regarding revitalization options for downtown El Paso. There is a vast amount data on economic development regarding the revitalization of downtown areas in U.S. cities, but the data on after-hour or night time economies (NTE) is relatively recent and limited. “Businesses follow rooftops” is a saying that remains at the forefront of any downtown revitalization, but the concept “rooftops” need to include residents on a temporary basis also. If “rooftops” means a resident base in the downtown areas, than visitors to the downtown area from anywhere (including other areas of El Paso) should be included as part of that population base which require hospitality services when visiting downtown El Paso on an after-hour basis. This study has accumulated data from cities, throughout the world and the U.S., that have after-hours activity and it has identified pertinent data that after-hour hospitality districts must have in order to thrive. This paper represents a thematic, qualitative study on official city websites, web documents and other pertinent websites to identify content that relates to an after-hours lifestyle. The research will also show that there are economic benefits in having an after-hours hospitality district. The El Paso-Juarez metropolis is the largest international metropolis in the world according to the Cox Media Group [Cox11]; moreover, our sister city across the border, Cd. Juarez, Mexico, has had an after-hours hospitality lifestyle before, and at one time it was a very popular El Paso tourist destination. A Brief History Redevelopment of downtown El Paso is already underway including the demolition of city hall and the current construction of a triple AAA baseball stadium. There are several projects under construction since 2009 that will create more opportunities for everyone. These include the Doubletree Hotel, construction of a new Federal Courthouse, restoration of the Mills Building and the Mills Plaza District redevelopment project. In addition, 13 buildings took advantage of our Facade Improvement Grant program, resulting in a more attractive downtown. With this initial redevelopment activity, El Paso is well on its way to a new, vibrant downtown that works (Economic Development Department, 2012). A strong revitalization effort came in 1997 when the El Paso Downtown Management District (DMD) was established after groups of property owners and business leaders petitioned the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission. The approval came from a majority vote of downtown commercial property owners within the geographical boundaries of Interstate Highway 10 and Loop 375 [DMD07]. Another effort to stimulate the downtown area came in 2006 when the El Paso Downtown 2015 Plan was launched by the El Paso city government [Cit11]. The Cox Media Group has valuable information regarding the demographics from a public media standpoint. Their website mentions that the El Paso-Juarez metropolis is the largest international metropolis in the world [Cox11]. In 2004, there were 15,550,384 northbound border crossings from Cd. Juarez, Chih., Mexico to El Paso from all bridges and ports in the region. In addition, The Office of Public Affairs says that there is also considerable funding in the pipeline for the international bridges on the Texas-Mexico borders [Off05]. The economic trends that occur across the border influence El Paso tremendously [Bur12]. Another economic fact to consider is that El Paso, TX is home to the fastest growing U.S. Army installation in the United States, namely, Ft. Bliss. Through various Army and Department of Defense initiatives, such as Bas
