text: LOVE Las Vegas Convention Center It is HUGE though so be sure you know what hall your trade showconvention is in before you park Unless it is CES of course since that takes up the whole thing I have been coming here for years and have attended many shows Amusement Expo in all its incarnations CES Pizza Expo Bar NIghtclub Expo etc Yeah I am a weird trade show junkiennI usually park across the street and walk across the skybridge to get inside That lot is usually but for CES it might be more because we all get ripped off when CES is rolling We used to park on Debbie Reynolds for free but I get lazier as I get older You can also park over at LVH for free nnOkay enough about parking On the inside it is really clean and nice Every show is a little different and the configuration always seems to change up It is awesome that they can actually do so many different configurations There are lots of bathrooms and even a food court of sorts on the North end with snack bar and Starbucks For some reason that place can close early like pm though so definitely check on that if you are counting on it for your food Right across from there is a Harley Davidson store I do not know why That is a strange one I like that since you are in Vegas you can just bring your beer with you everywhere too so we run out to the car and grab some cold ones for walking around beers while we are enjoying a shownnLike someone else said here if you take a taxi here fuggedaboudit you will wait in a hellacious line to get out of therennIf you want to stay close to the convention center there are plenty of hotels around it as mentioned the LVH is right next door across the street you have several Marriott properties and there are some others in a short radius around the convention center The closest strip hotels are the WynnEncore and the Riviera They are walkable but it is a longish walknnAnyway great convention center clean fun lots of great shows going on there
