Las Vegas Conventions 2027: The Complete Calendar

Las Vegas hosted 5,988,200 convention attendees in 2025, roughly six million of the city's 38.5 million visitors, and convention travel held essentially flat while leisure visitation fell. The Las Vegas Convention Center's $600 million renovation, now 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space, debuted in full at CES 2026. Whether you are attending a show, exhibiting, or just trying to plan a leisure trip that does not collide with 150,000 badge-wearers and sold-out hotels, this is the calendar that runs the city. Every date below was verified against show sources as of October 12, 2026. Where a 2027 date has not been announced yet, we say so rather than guess.

The 2027 calendar at a glance

The giants: 50,000+ attendees

CES, January 6-9, 2027

The biggest tech event on earth spreads across 12 venues in three campuses (LVCC, Venetian Expo, ARIA). Trade-only, 148,392 audited attendees in 2026, and the most expensive hotel week of the year. Our CES guide covers registration, hotels by campus, and cross-campus transport.

SEMA Show, November 2-5, 2027

The automotive aftermarket takes every hall of the LVCC. The 2026 edition runs November 3-6, 2026 with 153,000+ expected, and SEMA has already published its 2027 dates (and dates through 2029). Uniquely among the giants, SEMA sells public tickets for its final day: our SEMA guide explains Friday public day and SEMA Fest.

NAB Show, April 4-7, 2027

The broadcast and media technology show drew 58,000+ registrants in 2026, all at the LVCC, with conferences starting April 3. Spring weather, a slightly saner hotel market than January, and a crowd that fills mid-Strip restaurants all week.

SHOT Show, January 19-22, 2027

The shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show brings roughly 55,000 attendees to the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum. It overlaps World of Concrete week, so late January is a two-show squeeze on rooms near the Strip.

World of Concrete, January 19-21, 2027

47,400 registered construction professionals in 2026, 1,300+ exhibitors, and famous outdoor demonstration lots at the LVCC (education runs January 18-21). If your January Vegas trip feels unusually full of work boots, this is why.

MAGIC Las Vegas, February 16-18, 2027

The fashion marketplace (MAGIC, PROJECT, and SOURCING under one roof at the LVCC) is one of the largest apparel trade events in the country. Published attendance figures for the combined marketplace vary widely by source, so we do not print a hard number here; the show runs twice a year, in February and August.

The majors: 15,000 to 50,000

ASD Market Week, March 2-4 and August 3-5, 2027

The consumer-goods sourcing show fills the LVCC's North and Central Halls twice a year with 1,800+ exhibitors and roughly 30,000 to 41,000 buyers hunting wholesale merchandise.

ISC West, April 5-9, 2027

The security industry's flagship, about 29,000+ attendees at the Venetian Expo, with the expo floor typically open the final three days of the run.

G2E (Global Gaming Expo), 2027 dates to come

The gaming industry's own show just held its 2026 edition September 28 to October 1, 2026 at its new Venetian Expo home, drawing 25,000+ attendees from 120 countries. The 2027 dates have not been announced as of October 12, 2026; expect a similar early-fall window, and check back here rather than trusting a guess.

JCK, June 4-7, 2027

The jewelry industry's main event brings about 17,300 trade visitors to the Venetian Expo, with some pavilions opening June 3 and the Luxury show running invite-only June 2-3.

IMEX America, happening this week

The meetings-industry show runs October 13-15, 2026 at Mandalay Bay (Smart Monday is October 12), after a record 17,633 participants in 2025. IMEX is contracted at Mandalay Bay through 2030 and runs mid-October; its 2027 dates are not yet officially confirmed. Staying for it? Check Mandalay Bay rates on Expedia. Prices last checked: October 12, 2026.

Smaller show, serious money

Money20/20 USA, October 18-21, 2026

Next week, 11,000+ senior fintech attendees take over The Venetian. It is the smallest show on this page and possibly the highest-spending per head: a heavy C-suite mix on expense accounts. The 2027 dates have not been announced. Check Venetian rates on Expedia if you are booking late. Prices last checked: October 12, 2026.

How to use this calendar

• Attending? Book hotels near your venue the moment dates drop. Our hotels near the convention center guide covers the LVCC area, and our convention attendee guide covers what to do with your evenings and free days, and our best shows in Las Vegas guide is the fastest way to pick a show for your one free night. For Venetian Expo shows, stay on site or on the monorail corridor: Fontainebleau rates on Expedia work for both LVCC and north Strip weeks. Prices last checked: October 12, 2026.
• Planning a leisure trip? The flip side of this calendar is pricing power. CES week (early January) and SEMA week (early November) are the two most expensive, crowded weeks of the year. The weeks right after big shows, and the gaps between them, are where the deals live.
• Eating near a show? Convention-area dining is thinner than you think. Our restaurants near the convention center guide is the honest version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Almost all major trade shows are industry-only. The notable exception is the SEMA Show, which sells a limited number of public tickets for its final day (Friday). CES, SHOT Show, NAB, and the rest require verified industry registration.
