2,530,689 net exhibit sq. ft. (+ 450,000 sq. ft. outdoor equipment lots) $155–$360/guest OTD

Anchor · Las Vegas Convention Center (West, North, Central & South Halls)

LVCC & North Strip Vegas Loop Corridor

The heavyweight epicenter of global B2B trade shows. Directly connects LVCC's 4.6M gross sq. ft. campus with Fontainebleau, Resorts World, Westgate, Sahara, and iconic Convention Center Drive steakhouse buyouts via the underground Boring Company Vegas Loop and overhead Las Vegas Monorail.

Transit & Pedestrian Links

  • Vegas Loop Underground Tunnel (LVCC West/Central/South ↔ Resorts World, Westgate & Encore)
  • Las Vegas Monorail (Boingo LVCC, Westgate & SAHARA Stations — every 4–8 mins)
  • Direct 2–7 Min Pedestrian Crosswalks (Westgate, Fontainebleau, Piero's, Renaissance)

DOT Motorcoach Staging

56-passenger DOT motorcoaches stage exclusively in LVCC Silver/Bronze/West designated charter lanes with pre-issued LVCVA bus passes; off-campus hotel pickups must use Fontainebleau North Group Porte-Cochère or Resorts World South Bus Plaza (strictly no Paradise Rd curbside idling).

5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Alert

4:45 PM – 6:30 PM show break triggers 35–55 minute Uber/taxi gridlock on Paradise Rd and Desert Inn arterial ramps. Keep post-show receptions walkable (Piero's, Westgate, Fontainebleau) or reachable via the 3-minute underground Vegas Loop to Resorts World.

Venetian Expo, Palazzo, Wynn & Sphere Corridor
Venetian / Wynn / Sphere
935,600 net exhibit sq. ft. (2.25M gross Venetian Expo) + 560,000 sq. ft. at Wynn/Encore $215–$440/guest OTD

  • Sands Ave Covered Pedestrian Skybridge (Palazzo ↔ Wynn & Encore)
  • Encore Vegas Loop Underground Station (Direct 3-Min Tunnel to LVCC West Hall)

DOT Motorcoach Staging

Private charter coaches must schedule timed 15-minute load windows at the Sands Expo Ground-Level Bus Depot off Sands Ave/Koval Ln or Wynn South Tour Bus Terminal; high-roof Sprinters cannot enter Venetian self-park garages (6'10" max clearance).

5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Alert

Sands Ave and Koval Ln choke heavily between 5:00 PM and 7:15 PM during CES, Money20/20, HIMSS, and Sphere concert nights. Host side-events on Venetian Restaurant Row, Palazzo Waterfall Atrium, or across the Wynn Skybridge so VIPs walk indoors in 4–9 minutes.

CAESARS FORUM, Promenade & Mid-Strip Fountain Ring
Caesars Forum / Mid-Strip
550,000 sq. ft. CAESARS FORUM (featuring two 110,000 sq. ft. pillarless ballrooms) + 500,000 sq. ft. Caesars/Bellagio $185–$395/guest OTD

DOT Motorcoach Staging

5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Alert

Las Vegas Blvd at Flamingo Rd is the busiest vehicular intersection in Nevada; never route evening VIP transfers across Flamingo by car at 6:00 PM—use Koval Ln approaches or the overhead pedestrian skybridges.

Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand & CityCenter South Corridor
Mandalay / MGM / CityCenter
2,100,000 gross sq. ft. (Mandalay Bay) + 850,000 sq. ft. (MGM Grand) + 500,000 sq. ft. (ARIA LEED Gold) $175–$410/guest OTD

5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Alert

Internal resort walk distances are deceptive: walking from Cosmopolitan's Boulevard Tower or MGM Grand's West Wing to their respective conference centers takes 12–16 minutes indoors. Build 15-minute wayfinding buffers and directional staff into your run-of-show.

Downtown Fremont, Circa & World Market Center Corridor
Downtown / WMC

5:00 PM Show-Break Egress Alert

Attendees cannot walk here from mid-Strip convention halls—always pair 100+ guest evening activations at AREA15 or 18b warehouses with a branded 2-bus SnapEvents charter shuttle loop running every 15 minutes.

Summerlin, Red Rock, Henderson & Symphony Park Enclaves
Summerlin / Henderson / Symphony
270,000+ sq. ft. Garden Estates & Ballrooms (Red Rock, JW Marriott & GVR) + Frank Gehry & Smith Center Landmarks $145–$340/guest OTD
