Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas is known the world over for its glitzy casinos and glamorous live shows, but all the energy (and the amazing venues) also make it a hotspot for industry exhibitions, trade shows, and memorable corporate events. With 3 of the top-10 largest convention centers in the U.S., Las Vegas, NV ranks among the world’s top convention and meeting destinations.

There’s close to 11 million square feet of event space in Las Vegas, perfect for trade shows, meetings, conferences, and all manner of corporate events. The Las Vegas Convention Center alone offers more than 3.2 million square feet of facilities, while the Sands Expo® halls and Mandalay Bay Convention Center each have around 2 million square feet of facilities. There’s plenty of room for smaller events too, with hundreds of meeting rooms available in the larger centers and in dozens of hotels across the city.
