As you prepare for your upcoming conference, glean insights on how to prepare and take advantage of all that the destination has to offer.  

Book Your Vegas Room and Flight Early 

Once you’ve registered for your conference, it’s time to book your accommodations and airfare, and it’s best to do so early, as both can book up quickly during peak times throughout the year. Keep an eye on our convention calendar to see when larger shows are happening, and plan accordingly to ensure you can book the rooms and flights you desire. 

With the Harry Reid International Airport a mere three miles from the Las Vegas Strip, transportation is a breeze once you arrive. Consider using the Las Vegas Monorail, which has seven stations and stops along the Strip, or Vegas Loop at Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), which has four stops within the convention center, one at Resorts World Las Vegas, and another at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Plus, if you stay at a resort on the Strip, there are tons of attractions, dining and things to do within walking distance. 

If you know of others from your network who are attending the same Las Vegas conference, or if your clients will be present, reach out and prearrange meetups to maximize your time together. And if your event is held at LVCC, download the LVCC Wayfinding app available on App Store and Google Play for helpful information. 

Post-conference Dining in Las Vegas

Challenge yourself to attend as many networking events and gatherings as you can that are offered by the conference organizers. Or keep the conversation going by inviting colleagues or new connections to dinner or drinks. You’ll also find on-site meeting places in Las Vegas resorts to continue the conversation.
