Discovering Las Vegas Convention Vendors

By Miranda Sweeney


A number of conferences, seminars and workshops take place in the city of Las Vegas. When one thinks of Las Vegas Convention Vendors, one does not often think of the vendors having a focused event. Depending on the length, style and type of conference, vending booths are often quite varied when it comes products and services.

As there are many different types of events which take place in the city each year, there are opportunities for vendors from all over the world. Whether setting up as a non-profit booth, or one which is designed to make money, it is important that the product or service be in line with the theme of the event. When this is the case, events are often far more successful when it comes to overall sales.

While a science fiction vendor might have miniatures of science fiction characters and culture, a magic vending booth is most likely going to sell magic costumes, masks, tricks and accessories. Whereas, an electronics showcase often focuses on the best and newest technological gadgets on the market, or going on the market in the near future.

In large part, this is because of the association between fantasy and science fiction. Fantasy has a great deal related to sci-fi so if there are fantasy workshops at an event, chances are there are also science fiction fans. These fans often purchase goods and services from many different vendors. As a result, these vendors now know and understand what fans like and often stock booths accordingly.

Another is to use bright colors that draw people into the booth. Having product or services displayed on a table with decorations is also a good idea. When and where possible leaving candy or other items like free erasers, pens, pencils, business card magnets with the company name, address and phone number can often be beneficial.

Whether a large conference or small gathering, the city has a lot to offer. From spacious hotel rooms to large vending areas, it is an area built for meetings of every shape and size. With that being said, it is also one in which rooms sale out fast, especially along the strip during large conventions and other events. As such, it is best to reserve a room at a desired hotel as early in the planning process as possible.

Some events are infamous for the parties surrounding the main events of the conference. These include LGBT oriented conferences, science fiction conventions and others. It is important that when attending these parties or other events that what "happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Confidentiality while not a given fact, is often a good rule of thumb when it comes to talking about private events. A rule that is especially true in LGBT circles in which some individuals may not even be out to parents much less colleagues, friends and co-workers.

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" is a good slogan though not always true. If advertising never made it out of Las Vegas, then many businesses would be out of business. It is for this reason, so many vendors want to vend at events in the city.
