MINExpo Las Vegas 2026 — What to Know
MINExpo International is the world’s largest mining trade show, held every four years at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The 2026 edition runs September 22-24 — coinciding with GROCERYSHOP at Mandalay Bay — and draws over 40,000 mining industry professionals from 130+ countries, along with more than 1,800 exhibitors showcasing everything from drilling equipment to mine safety technology.
Because MINExpo only happens every four years and draws a large international attendance, hotel demand spikes dramatically during show week. The September timing also competes with other Las Vegas conventions, making early booking more important than for annual shows.
Closest Hotels to the LVCC for MINExpo
Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino is directly across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center — the closest hotel by walking distance for MINExpo attendees. The LVCC hosts the full MINExpo exhibition across its West, Central, and South halls, and Westgate’s proximity eliminates commute time between the hotel and any of the three show entrances.
Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel connects to the LVCC via skybridge and operates as a non-gaming property — preferred by many international business travelers who want a quieter environment. It is typically priced slightly higher than Westgate during major shows due to the skybridge access and business-focused amenities.
Hilton Grand Vacations on Paradise and Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center are both within a 5-10 minute walk of the LVCC and offer reliable mid-range accommodation during MINExpo week.
Strip Hotels for MINExpo
For MINExpo attendees who want Strip access, Resorts World Las Vegas provides a direct Vegas Loop underground connection to the LVCC during show hours. Wynn Las Vegas and Encore — a 15-minute walk from the LVCC — are well-suited for senior executives and those hosting international clients during the show.
September Strip hotel rates are generally lower than January (CES/IBS) or November (SEMA), but MINExpo week pushes LVCC-adjacent pricing significantly above baseline. Rates normalize after the show ends on the 24th.
International Attendees — Additional Considerations
MINExpo draws a higher proportion of international attendees than most Las Vegas trade shows — over 40% of registrations typically come from outside the United States. For international visitors, hotels with good currency exchange services, multilingual concierge, and proximity to the LVCC (to minimize ground transport) are worth prioritizing. The Renaissance and Wynn properties both have strong international hospitality track records.
Book Your MINExpo Hotel
For MINExpo 2026 (September 22-24), book by April-May for LVCC-adjacent properties. MINExpo’s four-year cycle means many attendees plan well in advance — early inventory sells out faster than for annual shows.
