Bar & Restaurant Expo 2027 runs March 22–24 at the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall, with the expo floor open March 23–24. Formerly the Nightclub & Bar Show, it draws more than 36,000 bar, nightclub, restaurant, and hospitality professionals to Las Vegas every March. If you are exhibiting or attending, this guide covers where to stay near the South Hall, when to book, and how to get around during one of the busiest hospitality weeks of the Las Vegas convention calendar.
Book your Bar & Restaurant Expo hotel before the South Hall block fills
Late-March convention weeks tighten LVCC-area inventory fast. Compare live rates and lock a room close to the show.
Bar & Restaurant Expo 2027 runs in the LVCC South Hall (March 22–24), the older end of the campus nearest the Strip and the monorail. That location changes the smart hotel pick: the South Hall is a different walk from the West Hall where CES and other tech shows sit. Pick your hotel for this hall, not a generic “near the LVCC” choice.
Closest to South Hall
Westgate and the Las Vegas Hilton side sit nearest the South and Central halls, with the monorail a short walk. Best if you want to drop your badge and be on the floor in minutes.
Strip-side with a ride
Bar and restaurant pros often want to be near the nightlife they are sourcing. A Strip hotel plus a 10-minute rideshare trades walking distance for being where the after-hours networking happens.
Late March is peak convention season: LVCC-area rooms fill months ahead. Book when the official block opens rather than waiting for a rate dip that rarely comes this time of year.
Bar & Restaurant Expo 2027 at Las Vegas Convention Center (South Hall), March 22–24, 2027. Best hotels: Westgate (walkable), Renaissance (5 min walk). March event — shoulder season, moderate compression. Book 60 days out.
Where Is Bar & Restaurant Expo Held?
Bar & Restaurant Expo 2027 takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) South Hall, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109. The expo hall is open Tuesday March 23 and Wednesday March 24, with conference programming starting March 22. The South Hall is the LVCC campus end closest to the Strip and the Las Vegas Monorail, which makes Paradise Road and Strip-adjacent hotels especially convenient for this show.
Best Hotels for Bar & Restaurant Expo
Because the show runs in the South Hall, the most practical hotels are those on the Paradise Road corridor and the nearby Strip. Here are the strongest options by priority.
Walk to the show (closest to South Hall)
The Westgate Las Vegas and the hotels along the Paradise Road side put you within a short walk or monorail stop of the South Hall. Best for exhibitors who want to be on the floor in minutes. Compare live rates on Hotels.com or Expedia.
Strip-side, near the nightlife
Bar and restaurant professionals often prefer being on the Strip, close to the venues and concepts they are there to study. Properties near the monorail line give you a quick ride to the South Hall while keeping you in the middle of the action. Check availability on Trip.com (30-day booking window) or compare on Hotels.com.
Group and budget options
Teams and independent operators watching costs can find solid value at Strip-adjacent properties and off-Strip hotels a short rideshare away. Caesars hotels offer loyalty benefits for return visitors, and vacation rentals via Vrbo can work for larger groups sharing space.
When to Book Your Bar & Restaurant Expo Hotel
Late March is peak convention season in Las Vegas. Multiple shows run across the city that week, so LVCC-area rooms tighten early and rates hold firm. A realistic timeline:
- 4–6 months out: book the moment registration and the official hotel block open. This is when the closest South Hall hotels are still available at the best rates.
- 2–3 months out: walkable options thin out. You can still find Strip-side rooms with a short ride to the show.
- Under 1 month: expect limited inventory near the LVCC and higher rates. Off-Strip and rideshare-distance hotels become the practical fallback.
Bar & Restaurant Expo is a recurring March show, so if you attend most years, booking the same block early each cycle is the reliable strategy.
Getting Around During Bar & Restaurant Expo
The LVCC South Hall sits on the Las Vegas Monorail line, which connects several Strip hotels directly to the convention center. For door-to-door trips, rideshare and taxis are widely available. If you are driving in, note that many hospitality-industry attendees do, so factor parking into your hotel choice. Need a car? Compare rates on Discover Cars or EconomyBookings.
