Las Vegas "Convention city"


55 of the top 250 conventions in the world are held here

Las Vegas is known for its gambling and nightlife, but many visitors end up here for a very different reason. For almost 20 years now we have enjoyed the title of the country #1 destination for conventions or trade shows of some sort. In 2011, almost 5 million people traveled to Las Vegas generating over $4 billion in non-gaming revenue. The city boasts over 10 million square feet of space for these conventions that have turned into in some cases very large events.
Some of these conventions range from CES (consumer electronics show) which brings over 150,000 people to town and brings a very different crowd than a convention like the Adult Entertainment Expo which also brings 30,000 people from the adult entertainment industry mingle amongst themselves and throw their annual awards show.
Most of these visitors come to town and stay close to their convention but there are many that go in search of Las Vegas hotel deal and depending on how popular their show is, may have a tough time finding it. Prices for rooms can skyrocket as conventions approach so it pays to have a Las Vegas VIP host or someone well connected around town to be able to help make sure your whole trip goes smooth #vegashotelsnow #lasvegasconventions #Hotel deals #LasVegasconventioncenter
