No. 3 Increased Attendance The attractiveness of Las Vegas generates strong attendance for meetings. On average, attendance increases 14% when conventions rotate into Las Vegas. Research also shows that attendees spend more time in meetings and on the trade show floor when programs are held in Las Vegas.
No. 4 Convention Centers Space, space and more space. Las Vegas has more than 9.8 million sq. ft. of exhibit space and is home to three of the country's 10 largest convention venues: the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, a 1.7 million-square-foot center on the south Strip; 1.8 million-square foot Sands Expo and Convention Center adjacent to the Venetian; and the 2.3 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center.
