Best Hotels for GROCERYSHOP Las Vegas 2026 — Convention Attendee Guide

GROCERYSHOP Las Vegas 2026 — Venue and Dates

GROCERYSHOP is the leading conference for the grocery and consumer goods industry, bringing together grocery retailers, CPG brands, technology providers, and investors. The 2026 edition is scheduled for September 22-24 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas — the same southern Strip venue that hosts Shoptalk each spring.

September in Las Vegas means peak outdoor temperatures of 35-40°C, making indoor hotel connections to the convention center more valuable than at almost any other time of year. Staying at or adjacent to Mandalay Bay is strongly recommended for GROCERYSHOP attendees.

Best Hotels for GROCERYSHOP — On Property

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is the obvious first choice for GROCERYSHOP. Direct access to the convention center, multiple restaurants and bars that become networking venues during the show, and sufficient room inventory to accommodate a significant portion of the 5,000+ attendees. Book 3-4 months in advance — September is a busy convention month in Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay fills quickly.

Delano Las Vegas is the all-suite boutique option within the same complex. Better suited for senior executives who want quieter surroundings and a more residential feel. The Skyfall Lounge on the 64th floor is an excellent venue for small client dinners or post-session drinks with a panoramic view of the southern Strip and airport.

Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas occupies the top floors of the Mandalay Bay tower. Non-gaming, no casino, no crowds — a genuine luxury option for C-suite attendees or those hosting high-value clients during GROCERYSHOP week. Direct convention center access via the tower elevators.

Best Nearby Options — Walking Distance

Luxor Hotel and Casino connects to Mandalay Bay through the Mandalay Place indoor shopping area — approximately a 10-minute walk, entirely air-conditioned. In September this matters considerably. Rates at Luxor run 30-50% below Mandalay Bay during convention weeks, making it the best value option for budget-conscious attendees who still want reasonable proximity to the venue.

Vdara Hotel and Spa at CityCenter is a 15-20 minute rideshare from Mandalay Bay. It’s an all-suite, non-gaming property with competitive rates and a calm atmosphere. Suitable for attendees who don’t mind a short daily commute to the convention and prioritize a quieter environment in the evenings.

September Las Vegas — What to Expect

September remains one of the hottest months in Las Vegas, with afternoon temperatures regularly exceeding 38°C. Convention center air conditioning runs at full capacity, creating the familiar Las Vegas paradox of extreme heat outside and near-freezing conditions inside — pack a light jacket regardless of the outdoor forecast.

Hotel rates in September are generally lower than January (CES) or November (SEMA), but GROCERYSHOP week still pushes Mandalay Bay-area pricing significantly above baseline. Rates typically normalize from the Thursday of show week onwards if you’re extending your stay.

Book Your GROCERYSHOP Hotel

For GROCERYSHOP 2026 (September 22-24), book by May-June for Mandalay Bay on-property rooms. Nearby Strip properties have more flexibility but rates still rise during show week.
