Las Vegas Convention Center Events: Events & Parking

Upcoming Las Vegas Convention Center Events in 2026

The following events have published dates from event organizers or relevant event listings. All times are Las Vegas local time (Pacific Time). Confirm the final program and access conditions with the organizer before booking travel.

SEMA Show 2026: Published daily hours

Check the official SEMA Show website for the relevant admission category. The organizer also publishes badge pickup and event transportation information.

Mecum Las Vegas: What spectators need to know

Mecum’s November 12–14 collector-car auction is scheduled in South Hall. Published gates open at 8 AM each day, with Road Art beginning around 9 AM and collector-car auctions starting at 10 AM. Gates close based on auction activity, not necessarily a fixed clock time.

Spectator admission and bidding credentials are different. Review the official Mecum Las Vegas auction page before purchasing tickets.

RE+ 2026: Conference versus exhibit days

The organizer confirms a move to LVCC for 2026. See official RE+ conference and exhibit registration.

How to Find Any Event, Ticket Price or Registration

Las Vegas hosts conferences at several different facilities. A show taking place in Las Vegas is not necessarily held at LVCC. Follow these steps to avoid booking the wrong venue or ticket.

1. Check the LVCC calendar. Open the LVCVA event listings and locate the desired show. This calendar highlights larger events and is not an exhaustive listing.
2. Confirm the venue. Look for Las Vegas Convention Center and 3150 Paradise Road on the event organizer’s website.
3. Find the exact show dates. Registration, conference education, exhibitions and public-access days may differ.
4. Check admission eligibility. Determine whether the event is public, trade-only, invitation-only or requires professional credentials.
5. Review the price and inclusions. Some events sell separate exhibition, conference, workshop or VIP passes.
6. Locate badge pickup. The organizer may assign registration to West, North, Central or South Hall rather than the nearest entrance.
7. Purchase through the official organizer. Save the order confirmation, event map, cancellation policy and badge instructions.

Las Vegas Convention Center Parking: Fees, Lots & Availability

The LVCC campus has several named parking lots, but not every lot is open for every event. Published organizer charges differ: examples include $15, $20 and $25 per vehicle. These are event-specific amounts, not one universally applicable daily rate.

Parking in five practical steps

1. Find your event’s actual hall and its organizer parking page.
2. Check which lots are permitted for that event and date.
3. Confirm the daily charge, payment method and whether prebooking is available.
4. Save the lot entrance on your map; do not navigate only to the general LVCC address.
5. Arrive with enough time for traffic, parking, badge pickup and walking to the assigned hall.

For detailed South Hall routes, parking options and exhibit levels, read our Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall parking and S1–S4 guide . It helps when your show is assigned to Bronze Lot or South Hall.

West, North, Central & South Hall: Choose the Correct Entrance

The Las Vegas Convention Center is a large campus. Finding the correct building and registration desk can save more time than choosing the closest hotel or parking lot.

How to find your booth or conference room

1. Read your organizer confirmation for the hall designation.
2. Find the booth, meeting-room or session number.
3. Check the assigned floor and badge pickup location.
4. Use the event-specific floor plan for booth and exhibitor locations.
5. Use the general campus map only for building, parking and transportation orientation.
6. Follow signs or staff directions when the event has temporary layouts.

Exhibitor reminder: Public visitor entrances are different from freight loading and exhibitor move-in. Get dock assignments, delivery windows, material-handling instructions and badges from your show’s exhibitor manual.
