CONVENTION AND TRADE SHOW

www.necaconvention.org

Live shows. Big events. Great restaurants. And those casinos. That about sums up Las Vegas. Or, simply, Viva Las Vegas!

Las Vegas—the home of the 2019 NECA Convention and Trade Show—is the entertainment capital of the world. Millions of people from across the globe flock to the city every year. Approximately 382,700 Southern Nevada jobs were supported by tourism with an economic impact on the region of more $60 billion in 2018, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Las Vegas has a lot to offer. There are concert venues, shopping complexes, golf clubs, spas and nightlife possibilities for everyone. You’ll be inundated with things to do for days, if not weeks. And as far as transportation goes, the Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Las Vegas Strip, linking seven stations over four miles to eight resorts. Tour companies offer sightseeing trips to the surrounding area, such as the Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire State Park. McCarran International Airport is just a short drive away.

Finally, there’s food and drink—a huge part of the Las Vegas culture. Take advantage of a full range of options, from five-star upscale dining to casual cuisine. Gourmet eateries and theme cafés boasting celebrity chefs add a fun element to the city’s culinary landscape.

Join us at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center for NECA 2019 Las Vegas, September 14–17!
