Las VegasBuilt for very large events and nothing else

The most concentrated convention infrastructure in the world, with hotel rooms attached to it.

The honest version

Las Vegas is the most operationally efficient place on earth to run a very large conference or exhibition. Enormous halls, tens of thousands of rooms within walking distance, and a workforce that does nothing but this.

The trade-offs are the calendar and the labour rules. When a major show is in town everything is full, and union jurisdiction over rigging, electrical and freight is strict and expensive.

Best suited to

  • Large exhibitions and trade shows
  • Enterprise user conferences
  • Dealer and channel conventions
  • Incentive programmes with an entertainment element

Operating notes

What actually decides whether Las Vegas works for you.

Airlift, hotel capacity, ground and season — in that order, and before anyone falls in love with a photograph.

01

Access and airlift

Harry Reid International (LAS) is close to the Strip with extensive domestic and growing international service.

02

Hotels and capacity

Tens of thousands of rooms, with rates that swing enormously by convention calendar.

03

Ground and distance

Short distances but heavy congestion during major shows; walking between venues is often faster.

04

Season and calendar

Driven by the convention calendar rather than the weather. Summer is extremely hot; spring and autumn are peak.
