Best Hotels for CONEXPO-CON/AGG Las Vegas 2026: Construction Trade Show Guide

CONEXPO Las Vegas — construction equipment trade show

CONEXPO-CON/AGG specifics: Held every three years at the Las Vegas Convention Center, CONEXPO is North America’s largest construction trade show, with more than 140,000 attendees in 2026. The LVCC West Hall is the primary venue — hotels on Paradise Road and Convention Center Drive offer the shortest commute with no Strip traffic delays.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the largest construction trade show in the Western Hemisphere, held every three years in Las Vegas. The 2026 edition (March 3–7, 2026) drew more than 140,000 construction professionals from 128 countries to the Las Vegas Convention Center. With such massive attendance, hotel availability near the LVCC disappears fast.

Where Is CONEXPO Held?

CONEXPO spans the entire Las Vegas Convention Center — all halls — plus outdoor exhibit space in surrounding lots. It’s one of the only trade shows that routinely sells out the LVCC’s full capacity.

FAQ — CONEXPO-CON/AGG Hotels

What is the closest hotel to CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

The closest hotel to CONEXPO-CON/AGG at the Las Vegas Convention Center is typically the Renaissance Las Vegas, which is within walking distance of the main entrance. For the full comparison, see the hotel ranking at the top of this guide.

How much do hotels cost during CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

Expect to pay 30–80% more than standard Las Vegas hotel rates during CONEXPO-CON/AGG week in March 2026. Properties close to the venue command the highest premium.

Is there a shuttle from hotels to CONEXPO-CON/AGG?

Hotels within walking distance don’t need shuttles. For hotels further away, most large Las Vegas properties offer ride-share access and some run their own shuttles during major trade shows. Check with your hotel directly when booking.

Official housing block or book it yourself?

Most Las Vegas shows contract a housing provider and publish an official hotel block. Booking inside it is not automatically cheaper, and booking outside it is not the same thing as the “housing poacher” warnings you will see on the show website — those refer to unsolicited callers demanding card details, not to you booking a hotel yourself.

The block tends to win during peak citywide weeks, for groups of roughly ten rooms or more, and whenever the organizer attaches shuttle access or a price-match guarantee to it. Booking independently tends to win for longer exhibitor stays covering setup and teardown nights, when the hotel closest to your hall is not in the block, and when elite loyalty benefits outweigh the rate gap.

Compare all-in totals, not headline rates. Las Vegas resort fees run roughly $44 to $57 per night at Strip casino-hotels (Las Vegas Review-Journal survey), before Nevada’s 13.38% lodging tax, which adds about $250 to $325 to a five-night stay, per room. That figure regularly reverses a comparison made on nightly rate alone. Several convention-corridor business hotels charge no resort fee at all.

Exhibitor teams contracting ten rooms or more should request the resort fee waiver in writing, at contract stage. It is negotiable before you sign and effectively impossible to obtain afterwards.

Getting Around During CONEXPO-CON/AGG

Las Vegas traffic during major construction equipment trade shows can be surprisingly heavy. If your hotel isn’t walkable:

  • Uber/Lyft — most reliable, surge pricing during peak hours (8–9am, 5–7pm)
  • Vegas Loop — if your show is at the LVCC, the underground tunnel system is the fastest way between halls
  • Rental car — useful if you’re visiting multiple venues or have equipment to transport. See our car rental guide for trade show attendees
