Hard Rock Las Vegas (the former Mirage site, 3400 S Las Vegas Blvd) is announced for 2027, with no confirmed opening date. The LVCVA lists more than 200,000 sq ft of meeting space. No trade show has been announced there yet. If you are attending a 2027 show, book a hotel that is already open and keep free cancellation. Group RFPs go through the LVCVA.

How We Research and Verify This Guide
LasVegasTrade.com is an independent resource. We are not owned by any hotel, casino, or booking platform, and no venue pays to be featured.
Event details. Dates and venues are verified against each event’s official website before publication, never copied from other blogs. When a detail can change, such as pricing, we say so and point to the official source.
Hotel rates. We run LVT Price Watch, our own tracker that records real advertised nightly rates from major booking platforms twice a week ahead of each major Las Vegas event. This lets us show how prices actually move as a date approaches, instead of repeating generic estimates.
How we make money. Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes which hotels we recommend or the rate you pay.
