Las Vegas is unique in so many ways, but when it comes to trade shows venues, I would have to say that we surpass any other city in the country. With three major convention facilities and dozens of hotels that all have their own convention arenas, we have millions of square feet to work with!
Las Vegas Convention Center 3.2 million square feet
Mandalay Bay Convention Center 1.5 million square feet
Sands Expo & Convention Center 1.8 million square feet
Now if you include all of the hotels and their convention areas, we have well over 7 million square feet of trade show space! Thats enough room to host some of the worlds largest conventions like:
CES Consumer Electronics Show
ConExpo/ConAgg
Mine Expo
NAB National Association of Broadcaster
Each convention facility is located either within or within steps of one of Las Vegas premier hotel/casino resorts.
The Las Vegas Convention Center is located within steps of the Las Vegas Hilton with its 3rd floor, rooftop swimming pool with magnificent views of the Las Vegas Strip. The Hilton also features fine dinning at TJs Steak House and the world famous Benihana Village where the chefs perform nightly at your table!
Parking at the Las Vegas Convention Center is $10.00 per day and this facility does have on-site food service and Starbucks Coffee. It is also located within walking distance of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
The Mandalay Bay Convention Center is co-located with the Mandalay Bay Hotel/Resort and the Four Seasons. Mandalay Bay is in all-in-one resort featuring the House of Blues and the Foundation room, with fine dining throughout, shopping and dancing nightly at the Rum Jungle.
Parking at the Mandalay Bay is free and there is food service inside the convention center during show days. There is a food court just outside the convention center, next to the famous Shark Reef aquarium. It is located on the strip next to the Luxor and has tram service to the Excalibur as well.
The Sands Expo & Convention Center is co-located with the Venetian with its world renowned Grand Canal. Here you can shop or take Gondola Ride through the streets of Venice! There are several award winning restaurants and two food courts and if all you want to do is take it easy, visit the Canyon Ranch Spa!
Parking at the Sands Expo & Convention Center is free and there is food service inside during show days. The food courts at the Venetian are also just a short walk away.
