[+ not2rowdy]

Upcoming Conventions and Events with expected attendance >10000

 

Anticipate moderate daytime temperatures that can get cool in the evening. So have a jacket available.

 

There’s always a large weekend population increase - which reflects in increased weekend hotel rates. Holiday weekends deserve special attention but expect even higher room prices. Don’t forget to include the insidious hidden “Resort Fees” into your hotel expense estimate.

Thanks for that - I'll be in Vegas around Easter

Great list! I live there and will be attending several of these conventions, beginning with CES next month. Looking forward to it. Thank you for the list.

Sorry I missed these but here are a couple of additional items from the Forum Lounge Section that I’m borrowing to add to this thread here:

 

Jan 11-14 Sin City Classic / Various location based on the sport

If you live in, or frequent LV regularly here’s a couple more resource links that may be of interest:

 

This one is like a Yellow Pages of LGBTQ friendly business and health care listings. I found a hard copy version at a Smith’s grocery store in their free advertising magazine section by the store exit.

This is an online magazine that serves multiple locations including Vegas, New York and LA.

Thanks --- I would never want to miss The House of Concrete!

[+ not2rowdy]

In view of all the devastating hurricane and wildfire damage this past year a home made of concrete may be very appropriate for those rebuilding in the same area.

Mar 20-22 International Pizza Expo / LV Convention Center / 12K

I love that there is a convention just for Pizza. I never really thought about it but it's probably a multi-billion dollar industry.

[+ not2rowdy]

There’s also an:

Jan 12-13 Int’l Gay Rodeo Assn Mini University / Arizona Charlies / 30

 

But I only listed those events and conferences with 10K+ anticipated attendance.

 

Click on the “Primary Sources” links I posted to see the majority of the full listings.

[+ azdr0710]

thanks for continuing to post these quarterly lists, @not2rowdy ....very helpful to avoid the crowds

[Derrick Rigg]

I wouldn't mind attending this event to see what it is like.
