Las Vegas
Trade Show Exhibiting Made Easier
According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, in 2002 more than 5 million convention and trade
show delegates traveled to Las Vegas, generating $5.9 billion in non-gaming revenue. Las Vegas hosts a large
percentage of the top conventions and rents more convention space than any other U.S. city. The climate is not
usually a factor unlike others cities which have to contend with excessive rain, snow, etc. The city has grown to
accommodate the needs of exhibit and convention attendees.
Las Vegas has grown since then, we have seen world famous hotels imploded, like the Dunes, Sands and the
Stardust hotels; while being replaced by mega hotels such as the Wynn Hotel Resort, the Venetian, Luxor and the
Mandalay Bay, etc. We now have more places to hold conventions. We have seen the Las Vegas Convention Center expand
in to a mega convention center, while the Sand Convention Center and the Mandalay Bay are not far behind. These
convention halls have host such conventions and trade shows like COMDEX, CES, INTEROP, THE GAMING SHOW, SEMA, AAPEX
TRADE SHOWS and thousands more.
One exhoothsibit house that has catered to quite a few of these shows is ELDS, Inc, providing the convention exhibitors with custom built exhibit b
either for rental or purchase. ELDS is a full one shop exhibit house that will not only design and manufacture
your next trade show display, but will also transport and set up your booth in any location in Las Vegas. See
the options available for exhibiting in my previous article “trade show displays; rental vs. purchasing or
leasing” Las Vegas has done a great job of providing a great backdrop for convention goers. Let’s not forget
about the gaming industry, restaurants and hotels that cater to such shows and venues. The city had to expand to
accommodate all the conventions that are coming to each of these hotels and convention halls.
With the growth of more conventions and mega hotels; a new monorail system was developed. This system runs along
the Las Vegas strip to most of the major hotels and convention halls. It’s a quick and easy way to avoid traffic
congestion. This system can reach speeds of up to 50 mph, with seven stops. It reaches one end of the Las Vegas
strip in 15 minutes or less; its cost efficient and hassle free. This cuts down on the large amount of parking that
is needed. The convention attendees and weekend vacationers can now feel assured that they can escape the traffic
jams that other cities experience.
The nightlife , well, what can I say, it’s something that you have to experience “what happens in Las Vegas
stays in Las Vegas” let your hair down and enjoy yourself.
Currently, Las Vegas has 9 million square feet of convention and meeting space, including the Las Vegas Convention
Center's recent South Hall expansion. Additional available convention space significantly increased in 2003 thanks
to the opening of Mandalay Bay's 1.5 million-square-foot conference center. The city is still growing as more and
more hotels are being built, with conventions facilities attached. With over 127,000 guest rooms in hotels and in
close proximity to McCarran International Airport, the Las Vegas Convention Center is among the largest convention
centers in America. For more information in exhibiting in Las Vegas please contact http://www.eldsusa.com.
