Every venue mapped in Las Vegas appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.

Where an exhibition fits

6 venues in Las Vegas are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.

Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.

How people reach Las Vegas

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.

The city runs on Los Angeles time (America/Los_Angeles). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.

North Las Vegas, Sunrise Manor and Paradise are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Las Vegas has nothing free on your dates.

Who else books Las Vegas

Las Vegas already carries Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, Las Vegas Pride, AFAN Black & White Party or Las Vegas AIDS Walk on a recurring basis, which tells you the city can absorb an event of that shape.

Things that catch organizers out here

The city is smaller than the market

678,922 people live in Las Vegas itself, but about 2.4 million live in the wider Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.

Choice is not the constraint here

With 95 venues mapped, availability rarely fails. What fails is comparison: shortlist on capacity and distance from the airport first, and only then start touring.

Check the city calendar first

Las Vegas carries recurring shows including Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, Las Vegas Pride and AFAN Black & White Party. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.

A worked example, sized to Las Vegas

Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Las Vegas event sized to Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, the largest stated capacity in the Las Vegas dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.

activated attendees
950activated attendees
billable, after the first 50 are free
900billable, after the first 50 are free
for the whole event, at $5 each
$4,500for the whole event, at $5 each

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Las Vegas does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

Which kind of event this suits

With a stated ceiling of 110,000 seats, Las Vegas can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.

  • trade shows and exhibitions

    6 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Las Vegas without renting a marquee.

  • multi-track conferences

    A 110,000-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.

  • association annual meetings

    An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Las Vegas is set up for.

  • festivals

    An arena or stadium floor at 110,000 takes an audience no conference venue in Las Vegas can.

  • sports tournaments

    The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
