Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino
4-star
Las Vegas Strip280 m from Paris Las Vegas, walkable over the pedestrian bridges to venueUSD 189–234 / night
Closest captured non-host resort; breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are paid extras. Rate band is indicative for early May and rises with convention demand.
MGM Grand
4-star
Las Vegas Strip (south)About 1 km from Paris Las Vegas; rideshare or pedestrian bridges rather than a midday walk in May heat to venueUSD 179–239 / night
Large four-star resort with pool complex, fitness center and on-site parking; self-park and resort fees are separate. Approximate band, confirm on booking.
Flamingo Las Vegas
3-star
Las Vegas StripAbout 470 m from Paris Las Vegas, under 10 minutes on foot to venueUSD 129–159 / night
Mid-tier casino hotel with pool and Wi-Fi; breakfast and parking charged separately. Good balance of walkability and price if you do not need a quiet business-floor room.
OYO Hotel and Casino Las Vegas
3-star budget
Las Vegas StripDistance not captured; plan a bus, monorail or rideshare transfer and confirm the address before booking to venueUSD 79–119 / night
Cheapest captured Strip option, with basic rooms and separately charged breakfast and parking. Approximate value-tier band; verify the exact location relative to the venue first.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forHarry Reid International (LAS) to Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
15-25 minutes off-peak. Taxi ranks are signed at both terminals; queues lengthen sharply on convention arrival days, so allow an extra 15 minutes.
rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLAS rideshare pickup zones to the Las Vegas Strip
Pickup zones are signed at each terminal and the walk from baggage claim can take 5-10 minutes. Compare the app quote with the taxi rank before choosing.
shared-ride shuttle
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLAS to Strip resort hotels
Cheapest per-person option but slower because the shuttle makes several hotel stops. Counters are inside the terminal baggage claim areas.
monorail
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLas Vegas Monorail, MGM Grand to Sahara along the east side of the Strip
Useful for Strip transfers and convention center access, but the monorail does not serve Harry Reid International. Route and stop map are published at lvmonorail.com.
bus (RTC Transit / The Deuce)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forStrip and downtown corridor, including stops serving Paris Hotel & Casino
Frequent Strip service and the cheapest way to move between resorts if you are not walking. Moovit lists the routes serving the Paris Hotel & Casino stop.
rideshare short hop
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forStrip resort to Strip resort, 1-3 miles
Sensible for MGM Grand or other farther Strip properties in midday heat. Pickups are grouped at resort rideshare lounges, so allow 5-10 minutes to reach the car.
walking
Estimated costNo fare; 5-25 minutes per leg depending on pedestrian bridge routes
Best forParis Las Vegas to Planet Hollywood, Flamingo and neighbouring Strip resorts
The cheapest option for the immediate cluster around the venue, but early-May afternoon heat makes longer midday walks uncomfortable - carry water and use the air-conditioned resort corridors where possible.
self-parking
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forStrip resort garages, including the Paris Las Vegas self-park structure
Rates rise on convention and event days and some loyalty tiers park free. Validate your ticket at the venue if your session attendance qualifies.
Weather
Early May in Las Vegas is hot, dry and very sunny. Mid-afternoon highs typically reach around 32-35 C (90-95 F) with overnight lows near 18-21 C (65-70 F); rain is rare and humidity stays low. The practical issues for a conference week are direct sun on the walk between resorts, heavily air-conditioned session rooms, and dehydration during long days. These are climatological averages for the Las Vegas Valley, not a forecast for 4-6 May 2027 - check a forecast in the final week before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Wi-Fi is standard in Strip resort rooms and public areas, but it is often tied to a nightly resort fee and meeting-room access can be charged per device or per network drop, so confirm before you rely on it for demos. US mobile networks (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) cover the Strip well, including 5G. International visitors should arrange a travel eSIM or a prepaid US SIM before departure, since roaming from European, UK or Asia-Pacific carriers is expensive for data. Power is 120 V at 60 Hz with Type A and B plugs, so bring an adapter for European, UK and Australian devices, plus a power bank for long days on the floor.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Rental-industry attendees wear business casual: open-collar shirts, chinos or smart jeans, with a jacket for supplier meetings. Resort meeting space is heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer is practical for long session blocks.
Tipping
Tipping is expected in Las Vegas: 15-20 percent on restaurant bills, a dollar or two per drink at bars, a few dollars per day for housekeeping, and small tips for bell, valet and shuttle drivers. Carry some cash even though cards are accepted almost everywhere.
Resort fees and deposit holds
Strip hotels typically add a nightly resort fee plus local taxes to the quoted room rate, and place an incidental hold on your card at check-in. Compare the total cost rather than the headline rate when choosing between the venue hotel and neighbouring resorts.
Casino floor and smoking
Casino floors allow smoking in many areas while restaurants and meeting rooms are generally non-smoking. Routes between the lobby and conference space often cross the casino, so allow a little extra time if smoke is an issue for you.
Punctuality and distances
Sessions start on time, and the Strip is far larger on foot than the map suggests. Leave 20-30 minutes between properties, use the monorail or a short rideshare for longer hops, and do not schedule back-to-back meetings in different resorts without a buffer.
Heat and hydration
Daytime temperatures near 32-35 C in early May, combined with long conference days and evening hospitality, make hydration the main practical concern. Carry water, use air-conditioned routes where possible, and pace evening events across a three-day show.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: LAS
Harry Reid International (LAS) is the commercial airport for the show, and the captured fare calendars were priced for a 4 May 2027 outbound with an 8 May 2027 return, so re-price against your own dates. Nonstop service from New York JFK runs about 5 hr 40 min to 5 hr 56 min, and nonstop transatlantic and transpacific service exists from London LHR and Tokyo NRT; Sydney itineraries in the capture all required at least one stop with total travel time of 18-31 hours. No ticket values were visible in the captured Google Flights results, so treat any fare expectation as indicative. Aim to land on 3 May for a buffer before the opening day, confirm baggage and seat rules before paying, and check whether a Las Vegas hotel bundle or airline vacation package beats separate bookings.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Harry Reid International (LAS): 15–25 min off-peak. Allow road or rail time to Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino: Las Vegas Strip: Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino; Las Vegas Strip: Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino; Las Vegas Strip (south): MGM Grand.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across Las Vegas, with dedicated pickup zones at Harry Reid International and rideshare lounges at most Strip resorts. For the airport run, rideshare typically prices close to a taxi at approximately USD 25-40 to the Strip, and surges during convention peaks and late evenings. Short Strip hops run around USD 8-15 off-peak and are often quicker than walking in midday heat. Follow resort signage to the pickup area and allow 5-10 minutes to reach the car, since large properties route pickups through specific porte-cocheres.
Public transit: Public transport in Las Vegas is limited but usable for the Strip. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip between MGM Grand and Sahara, useful for reaching convention space and neighbouring resorts, but it does not connect to Harry Reid International. Single rides are approximately USD 5-6 with multi-day passes available. RTC Transit buses serve the Strip corridor and downtown, including stops near Paris Hotel & Casino; a 2-hour pass is around USD 4 and a 24-hour pass around USD 8. From the airport, take a taxi, rideshare or shuttle to your hotel first, then walk, bus or ride the monorail. Confirm current routes, fares and service hours before travel.
Parking: Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino has an attached self-park garage plus valet, and most Strip resorts charge for parking with rates that climb on convention and event days. Expect approximately USD 15-25 per day for self-parking and higher for valet, with some loyalty tiers discounted or free; confirm the current property rate and whether your session badge qualifies for validation. If you are staying on the Strip and attending only the show, a rental car is usually unnecessary: walk, take the monorail or use a short rideshare, and use a taxi or shuttle for the airport transfer.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May (late spring, start of the Las Vegas heat season)
Temperature: Typical early-May range: overnight lows around 18-21 C (65-70 F) and mid-afternoon highs around 32-35 C (90-95 F); exceptional May heat can push past 40 C (104 F). Climatological averages for the Las Vegas Valley, not a forecast for 4-6 May 2027.
Seasonality: May is one of the driest months in Las Vegas, with only a couple of days of measurable rain in a typical May and very low humidity. The dominant seasonal factor is the first sustained heat and strong sun rather than rain, though spring wind can pick up dust and make outdoor walking unpleasant on some afternoons.
Packing: Pack light, breathable shirts and trousers with a jacket or wrap for heavily air-conditioned session rooms, plus comfortable walking shoes for Strip distances. Bring sunglasses, SPF 30 or higher, a refillable water bottle and a hat if you plan to walk between resorts midday. Business casual covers nearly every session and supplier meeting at this show; a sports coat is useful for evening hospitality. Add a light rain layer only as a precaution and a Type A/B power adapter for non-US devices.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at International Car Rental Show usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 1
Reconfirm the Las Vegas hotel and read the full rate breakdown, because Strip quotes usually add a nightly resort fee and local taxes on top of the room rate.
Day 2
Check ESTA or visa status if you are arriving from outside the United States, and save an offline copy of the approval for immigration.
Day 3
Book flights into Harry Reid International (LAS) with arrival no later than 3 May so a delay does not cost you the opening session on 4 May.
Day 4
Decide the airport transfer: signed taxi and rideshare zones at each terminal, or a shared shuttle, with roughly 15-25 minutes to the Strip off-peak.
Day 5
Download the session schedule and shortlist talks against your own numbers: time utilization, rate by channel, ancillary penetration, damage recovery cost per rental.
Day 6
Name 8-12 exhibitors to visit and write the specific question for each, for example API integration with your reservation system or telematics cost per vehicle per month.; Pack business casual clothing plus a layer for air-conditioned session rooms, comfortable shoes for Strip walking, sunglasses and SPF.
Day 7
Load airline and hotel confirmations, and note the deposit hold your resort may place on your card at check-in.
Day 8
Plan a 20-30 minute buffer for the first morning walk between your hotel and the venue, and reach the registration desk before the opening session starts.
Day 9
Confirm your pass category (operator or supplier) on internationalcarrentalshow.com and check whether the early bird window is still open before paying.

Answers
Frequently asked
When and where is the 2027 International Car Rental Show?
The 2027 edition runs 4-6 May 2027 at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sessions and exhibits are concentrated in the resort's meeting and convention space on the Strip, which means most attendees can stay in the same building or within a short walk. Check internationalcarrentalshow.com/schedule for the session grid and confirm hall and registration desk locations on arrival, as room assignments can change.
Who attends ICRS - is it only for large rental companies?
No. The audience spans single-location independents, regional multi-store operators, franchisees of the national brands, airport and off-airport concession holders, insurance replacement specialists, and the vendors who supply rental software, telematics, ancillary insurance and remarketing services. Registration is split into operator and supplier categories, which reflects how strongly the room is weighted toward rental company decision makers rather than general trade visitors.
What is the difference between an operator rate and a supplier rate?
Operator registration is for people who work for rental companies: $895 early bird or $1,095 standard. Supplier registration is for vendors, consultants, insurers and service providers: $1,795 early bird or $1,995 standard. Register in the category that matches your employer, and check with the organiser before booking if your company both rents vehicles and sells services to the trade.
Is there an early bird discount and when does it close?
Yes, both operator and supplier passes are published with early bird and standard tiers. The closing date for the early bird window was not visible in the material captured for this edition, so confirm the current deadline on the registration page at internationalcarrentalshow.com before you commit flights.
Can my company exhibit or sponsor the show?
Exhibiting and sponsorship are sold separately from attendee passes, and supplier registration is a visitor pass, not a stand. Booth pricing, floor plan and sponsorship inventory were not published in the material captured here, so request the current exhibitor prospectus from the organiser rather than assuming last year's rates.
How do I get from Harry Reid International to the venue?
Harry Reid International (LAS) is roughly 8 mi / 13 km from Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, about 15-25 minutes by road off-peak. Taxis and rideshare pick up from signed zones at each terminal; budget approximately $25-40 one way plus tip, higher during convention peaks and late evenings. Shared-ride shuttles run to Strip resorts for less per person but make multiple stops. The Las Vegas Monorail does not serve the airport.
Is there parking at the venue and what does it cost?
Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino has an attached self-park garage plus valet. Strip resorts generally charge for parking and raise rates on busy convention and event days; expect approximately $15-25 per day for self-parking and more for valet, with some loyalty tiers discounted or free. Confirm the current property rate and whether your badge or session attendance qualifies for validation.
What should I wear and how hot is Las Vegas in early May?
Business casual is the convention norm: open-collar shirts, chinos or smart jeans, with a jacket if you have supplier meetings. Early May in Las Vegas is hot and dry, with mid-afternoon highs typically around 32-35 C (90-95 F) and overnight lows near 18-21 C (65-70 F). Session rooms are heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer is genuinely useful, and the walk between Strip resorts can run 10-25 minutes in direct sun.
Do I need a visa to attend from outside the United States?
Most visitors from Visa Waiver Program countries (including the UK, Ireland, most EU states, Australia, New Zealand and Japan) travel on an approved ESTA rather than a visa; Canadian citizens normally travel on a passport alone for short business visits. Apply well ahead of travel and confirm current rules with the US Department of State or CBP. No visa-invitation process was visible in the material captured for this edition, so contact the organiser early if your employer or embassy requires an invitation letter.
How far ahead should I book flights and hotel for early May in Las Vegas?
Early May is an active convention period on the Strip, so treat hotel rooms as the constraint: booking two to four months out usually gives a better choice of on-Strip properties and room types than waiting. For flights, six to ten weeks ahead is a reasonable planning window, with arrival on 3 May if you want a buffer before the opening day. Note that Strip hotel quotes usually exclude a nightly resort fee and local taxes, so compare totals rather than headline rates.
Glossary
- Ancillary revenue
- Money earned beyond the base rental rate, mostly at the counter or checkout: damage waiver, supplemental liability insurance, fuel purchase options, toll programs, child seats and GPS. Operators track ancillary penetration per rental because it can exceed the daily rate in margin.
- Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) / Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
- The optional product that limits a renter's financial exposure if the vehicle is damaged or stolen during the rental. It is a waiver of the operator's right to recover damage costs, not conventional insurance, and it is usually the single largest ancillary line in a rental P&L.
- Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI)
- Extra liability coverage sold on top of whatever protection the renter already holds, typically capped per accident. Pricing and state regulation of SLI vary, which is why operators compare program structures at the show.
- Time utilization
- The share of available fleet days that are actually rented. Paired with average rate, it explains most of a location's revenue performance, and utilization gaps are a common reason operators shop for better fleet planning or demand forecasting tools.
- Revenue per day (RPD)
- The average base rate realized per rented vehicle day, before ancillaries. Operators benchmark RPD by class and channel because airport, insurance replacement and local retail business price very differently.
- Remarketing / de-fleeting
- Selling vehicles out of the fleet, through auction, wholesale channels or direct retail. Timing and residual value drive lifecycle cost, so remarketing partners and valuation data are a recurring exhibitor category.
- Program car
- A vehicle supplied under a manufacturer fleet program with agreed pricing and, often, guaranteed repurchase or future value terms. Program terms shape how aggressively an operator can price short-cycle rentals.
- Airport concession fee
- The percentage of gross rental revenue an operator pays to an airport authority for on-airport counter, ready-return and shuttle space. It is usually passed to customers as a concession recovery fee and is a core cost line for airport operators.
- Off-airport operator
- A rental company located outside airport property that still serves airport demand, typically with a shuttle. Off-airport operators compete on price and speed of exit against in-terminal brands.
- Counter bypass / digital check-in
- Technology that lets a renter complete documents online and walk straight to the vehicle, sometimes unlocking it by phone. It is promoted as a queue-reduction and customer-satisfaction tool, and it changes how counter staff sell ancillaries.
- Replacement rental
- A vehicle rented while the customer's own car is under repair, usually billed to an insurer or body shop. This channel has its own rate structures, length-of-rental patterns and claims documentation.
- Transportation Network Company (TNC)
- Ride-hailing platforms such as Uber and Lyft. Their airport and urban availability directly affects short-duration rental demand, and operators routinely discuss TNC competition in rate and fleet-mix decisions.
- Damage recovery and subrogation
- The process of billing renters, insurers or third parties for vehicle damage after the rental. Software, photo-evidence tools and recovery services that shorten this cycle are a common exhibit category for operators with high turnover.
- Franchise versus corporate location
- The two main brand-network models: company-owned stores run directly by the brand, and licensee or franchisee locations run by local operators under brand standards. ICRS draws heavily from the franchisee side of that split.
