Best Hotels for SuperZoo Las Vegas 2027 — Pet Industry Trade Show Guide

SuperZoo is North America’s largest pet industry trade show, held every summer at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. With thousands of pet industry professionals and exhibitors showcasing the latest in pet food, accessories, grooming, and supplies, SuperZoo is the essential annual gathering for pet retailers, groomers, distributors, and manufacturers.

Unlike most major Las Vegas trade shows which take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), SuperZoo is held at Mandalay Bay on the south end of the Strip. This means different hotel dynamics — proximity to Mandalay Bay matters more than proximity to the LVCC. This guide covers the best hotels for SuperZoo 2027 attendees.

SuperZoo 2027 — Key Dates

• Dates: August 11–13, 2027 (Wednesday–Friday); education sessions run Tuesday–Wednesday, August 10–11 (the 2026 show ran August 12–14)
• Venue: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas (South Strip — not the LVCC)
• Attendees: thousands of pet-industry professionals from around the world
• Exhibitors: 1,200+ companies, with 1,100+ new products debuting
• Organizer: World Pet Association (WPA); trade-only, business credentials required
• Education: 65+ SuperZoo University sessions, plus new veterinary CE and Women in Petfood Leadership

⚠️ Book 3–4 months in advance. August is peak summer season in Las Vegas. Mandalay Bay and immediately adjacent hotels fill up quickly during SuperZoo week.

Best Hotels for SuperZoo Las Vegas 2027

1. Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino — Best for Convenience

Staying at Mandalay Bay itself means you’re on-site — no commute, no rideshare, no wasted time. Walk directly from your room to the SuperZoo show floor in minutes. For pet industry professionals attending multi-day events, this location advantage pays for itself quickly in time and transportation savings. The resort’s large pool complex and beach area are a welcome bonus in August’s summer heat.

2. Delano Las Vegas — Best Boutique Option

The Delano Las Vegas is connected directly to Mandalay Bay — offering all-suite rooms with a more intimate, adults-only atmosphere. Suite-only rooms with full living areas make it ideal for buyers who want space to review samples and notes at the end of each show day. Direct internal walkway access to Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

3. Four Seasons Las Vegas — Best for Executives

Occupying floors 35–39 of Mandalay Bay, the Four Seasons Las Vegas offers non-gaming luxury accommodations with direct internal access to the convention center. The preferred choice for C-suite pet industry executives, major brand VPs, and key buyers who need flawless service and privacy during a busy trade show week.

• ⭐ Distance to SuperZoo: Internal access via Mandalay Bay
• 💰 Typical August rates: check live rates
• ✅ Non-gaming | Michelin-level dining | Concierge | Spa

👉 Check Four Seasons availability →

4. Luxor Hotel & Casino — Best Budget Pick

Directly adjacent to Mandalay Bay via an indoor walkway, the Luxor is the most affordable option with direct access to SuperZoo’s venue. The indoor connection means you never have to step outside in August’s 105°F heat. Rooms are more basic but clean and comfortable — the right choice for buyers and sales reps managing tight trade show budgets.

• ⭐ Distance to SuperZoo: Indoor walkway to Mandalay Bay — 10 minutes
• 💰 Typical August rates: check live rates
• ✅ Indoor connection | Budget-friendly | Casino | Pool

5. Vacation Rentals via VRBO — Best for Pet Industry Teams

For teams of 3 or more from the same company — sales teams, buying groups, distributor reps — a full apartment rental in the south Strip area is often the most cost-effective option. You get a full kitchen (critical for managing meal budgets during a 3-day show), multiple bedrooms, and space to spread out samples. A 10–15 minute rideshare to Mandalay Bay.

Where to Stay: The Mandalay Bay Cluster (Not the LVCC)

Here’s the single most important thing to know about SuperZoo lodging: unlike CES, MAGIC or most Vegas trade shows, SuperZoo is not at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It’s at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, at the far south end of the Strip. Book a hotel near the LVCC by reflex — as many first-timers do — and you’ll face a 20–25 minute rideshare across town every morning in August heat.

Instead, target the south-Strip cluster connected to Mandalay Bay. This is where the free tram becomes your best asset:

• Mandalay Bay / Delano: on-site or internally connected — you walk to the show floor in air conditioning, no outdoor exposure. The premium worth paying if your days are long.
• Luxor: connected to Mandalay Bay by an indoor walkway and the free tram. A noticeable step down in price with almost no loss in convenience — our top value pick for SuperZoo.
• Excalibur: the budget end of the cluster, linked by the same free tram (Excalibur–Luxor–Mandalay Bay). From Excalibur you can also walk to the MGM Grand monorail station if you want Strip access.

The free tram runs Excalibur–Luxor–Mandalay Bay continuously, letting you stay at a cheaper property while keeping a short, climate-controlled commute. This south-Strip loop is the one logistics detail that separates a comfortable SuperZoo from an exhausting one — and it’s why we don’t recommend the usual LVCC-adjacent hotels here.

SuperZoo Las Vegas — What to Know

August Weather: Plan for Extreme Heat

August in Las Vegas means temperatures regularly exceeding 105°F (40°C). If your hotel has an outdoor-only connection to Mandalay Bay, plan rideshares rather than walking. Hotels with indoor connections (Luxor via walkway, Delano via internal corridor) become significantly more valuable during SuperZoo week. Stay hydrated — the convention center is air-conditioned but exterior walks are brutal.

Who Attends SuperZoo

SuperZoo attracts independent pet store owners, chain buyers, veterinary professionals, groomers, distributors, and private label manufacturers. Registration is trade-only — a current business license or proof of pet industry activity is required. The show includes a separate grooming competition (GroomExpo West) with its own registration.

Getting Around During SuperZoo

SuperZoo Insider Tips

A few things regulars know that first-time SuperZoo attendees usually learn the hard way:

• Badge pickup is at Bayside, not the convention hall. Registration is in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center Bayside area. Pre-registered? Use the express QR kiosks and pick up your badge the Monday or Tuesday before to skip the Wednesday-morning rush.
• Education starts Tuesday, August 11 — a day before the floor. SuperZoo University’s 65+ sessions, new veterinary CE, and the Women in Petfood Leadership half-day all run around the exhibit hall. If continuing education is why you’re coming, arrive Monday night.
• Dress for the AC, not the desert. Outside it’s 105°F; inside the hall the air conditioning is cranked. Business casual with a layer, and comfortable shoes — the Mandalay Bay show floor is large and you’ll cover serious ground.
• Leave the pets at home. Despite being a pet show, live animals (service animals excepted) generally aren’t permitted on the exhibit floor.
• Network at the Beach Party. SuperZoo’s signature evening events — including the Beach Party at the Mandalay Bay pool complex — are where real deals get made. Factor them into your hotel choice: staying in the cluster means you’re not gambling on a late-night rideshare afterward.

SuperZoo Hotel Cost Comparison (2026 show-week ranges)

SuperZoo 2027 runs August 11–13 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. 2027 hotel rates are not published yet, so the ranges below reflect the 2026 show (August 12–14); check live rates for your dates before you budget. Because the show shares the south end of the Strip with other summer events, room rates climb steadily as the dates approach. The table below gives the 2026 nightly ranges as a reference point. We have not measured SuperZoo-week prices ourselves. Most Strip hotels add a nightly resort fee on top of the room rate, so compare all-in prices.

Hotel	Distance to Mandalay Bay	Nightly Range (Show Dates)	Best For
Mandalay Bay	On-site (connected)	Check live rates	Zero commute, early starts
Delano Las Vegas	Connected tower	Check live rates	Quiet, all-suite stays
Four Seasons	On-site (floors 35–39)	Check live rates	Executives, client dinners
Luxor	~10 min walk / tram	Check live rates	Budget, longer stays
Excalibur	~12 min walk / tram	Check live rates	Lowest nightly rate
VRBO / rentals	5–20 min drive	Check live rates	Teams sharing a unit

If your budget is tight, the Luxor and Excalibur are connected to Mandalay Bay by a free tram, so you keep a short, air-conditioned commute without paying Strip-center prices. Teams attending together often find a VRBO rental works out cheaper per person than separate hotel rooms, with the bonus of a kitchen for early mornings on the show floor.

SuperZoo 2027 Frequently Asked Questions

Where is SuperZoo 2027 held?

SuperZoo 2027 takes place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. The connected hotels (Mandalay Bay, Delano, Four Seasons) put you steps from the show floor.

When should I book my SuperZoo hotel?

Book 30 to 60 days out. Rates for the August 11–13 show window rise noticeably in the final month as exhibitors and buyers lock in rooms. Booking early also protects your choice of a connected hotel, which sells out first.

Is it worth staying at a connected hotel for SuperZoo?

For most attendees, yes. August in Las Vegas regularly exceeds 100°F, so an indoor, air-conditioned walk to the show floor saves you from the heat and from waiting on rideshares. If budget is the priority, the tram-connected Luxor and Excalibur are a solid compromise.

Are pets allowed at SuperZoo or in the hotels?

SuperZoo is a B2B trade show for the pet industry and is not open to the general public or to pet owners bringing their animals. If you are traveling with a pet, confirm each hotel’s pet policy directly, as policies and fees vary across the Mandalay Bay campus.

How do I get from the airport to Mandalay Bay for SuperZoo?

Harry Reid International Airport is about 10 minutes from Mandalay Bay. Rideshares and taxis are the fastest option; many attendees who plan side trips or off-Strip dining prefer renting a car to avoid surge pricing during a busy convention week.

Is SuperZoo 2027 in July or August?

SuperZoo 2027 runs August 11–13, 2027 (Wednesday–Friday) at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, with education sessions on August 10–11. Older listings sometimes show a July date from previous years — the confirmed 2027 dates are in August. See the official SuperZoo / World Pet Association site for registration.

Unlike the LVCC, Mandalay Bay does not have access to the Vegas Loop tunnel system. For getting around the south Strip area: Uber and Lyft are the most practical option, and the Las Vegas Monorail has a station at MGM Grand — a 15-minute walk or short rideshare from Mandalay Bay. The indoor walkway connecting Luxor, Excalibur, and Mandalay Bay is your best friend in August heat.

Book Your SuperZoo 2026 Hotel
