Latest Nevada Tourism Industry Feature
Welcome to the Show: Conventions, Conventioneers, and Convention Space in Nevada

Conventions, conferences, corporate meetings, trade shows – every region wants them. The convention industry, which in Nevada includes sport groups, creates a baseline of rooms occupied not just on weekends when leisure travelers are visiting, but during the week.
Las Vegas gets more than six million convention and trade show visitors annually. They’re the reason hotels are booked to 80 percent occupancy weekdays when the national average is around 60 percent, making it possible for southern Nevada to afford the resort properties its built. “We’re able to fill those rooms every day and not just on weekends,” said Steve Hill, president & CEO, Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “So really the trade show industry is what has allowed Las Vegas to be the Las Vegas that it is.”
