Bringing kids to a Las Vegas show
Many Las Vegas trade shows are business-only, and age limits differ by show, especially while booths go up and come down. These rules come from the venue's planning guide and each show's own 2026 or 2027 pages, named in each rule. If you're bringing family, check your show before you book.
