In 2002 there were over 5 million conventions and trade shows in Las Vegas. This provided $5.9 Billion revenue for non-gaming. A great deal of top conventions rent space in Las Vegas, more than any othre US city. Las Vegas has grown since then as the need for exhibit space has increased
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 exhibit house that has catered to quite a few of these shows is ELDS, Inc or Http://www.eldsusa.com, providing the convention exhibitors with custom built exhibit booths 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 slogan "What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas? means let your hair down and enjoy the new expansion of the City. The night life is fabulous
Conventions are still growing. There are over 9 million square feet of exhibit space in Las Vegas, Thanks to the addition of the Mandalay Bay convention center which opened in 2003. Over 127,000 guest rooms are available. McCarren International airport still remains efficient, being approximately 15 minutes to most mega hotels in Las Vegas. Conventions are still growing and Las Vegas is growing to accommodate them.
