The fast-rising sport gets its moment in the sun with its own convention in the convention capital of the world.
Conventions
Open to the general public and set to take place from July 11 to 17, the convention will be held at the newly renovated Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
The nearly 2-year renovation of 2.1 million square feet of convention space added new tropical designs and technology.
DesignerCon attracts more than 70,000 attendees each year and hundreds more artists and vendors.
The massive World Market Center complex next to Interstate-15 has been open since 2005 and brings thousands of visitors to Las Vegas each year.
A free concert on the Las Vegas Strip will kick off the opening night of CES in January.
Las Vegas restaurants such as Chickie’s & Pete’s, Eataly, Famous Foods Street Eats, Siegel’s Bagelmania and Wally’s Wine & Spirits can help stretch CES attendees’ budgets.
Amalfi, Joel Robuchon, Le Cirque, The NoMad Library and Restaurant Guy Savoy are some of the most expensive — and noteworthy — restaurants to be found in Las Vegas.
Blackout Dining in the Dark, Fly Pie, Sapporo Revolving Sushi, Superfrico and Tipsy Robot help prove that “whatever happens in Las Vegas, only happens here.”
Golden Steer Steakhouse, Hugo’s Steakhouse, Lotus of Siam, Peppermill and Piero’s Italian Cuisine have had long lives in a place that doesn’t exactly honor history.
The Modern Vegan, Pancho’s Vegan Tacos, Saffron The Vegetarian Eatery, Tacotarian and VegeNation offer dozens of plant-based choices of all varieties.
It’s pretty easy for CES attendees to reach a wide variety of restaurants, but those who have rental cars can explore even more, including these five in the suburbs.
Carversteak and Brezza at Resorts World, Olives and One Steakhouse at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and Casa Playa at Wynn Las Vegas have all opened since last CES.
