Holiday Inn Express Las Vegas - Stadium Area by IHG
midscale
Stadium Area / south StripUSD 165–205 / night
Approximate night-rate band converted from a Google Hotels capture that quoted the lowest rate in the sampled set. Free cancellation and a hot tub were listed. Often the cheapest of the sampled options, so it books out early during convention weeks.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Las Vegas North Speedway
midscale
North Las Vegas / SpeedwayUSD 145–190 / night
Approximate band converted from a Google Hotels capture. Pool and free parking were listed, which suits exhibitors driving in or renting a car. Located north of the resort corridor, so budget 20-30 minutes by car to the convention area, more in peak traffic.
Candlewood Suites Las Vegas - E Tropicana by IHG
extended-stay
East Tropicana / near the Strip south endUSD 190–245 / night
Approximate band converted from the highest rate in the sampled Google Hotels set. Hot tub and pool were listed, and the extended-stay format suits multi-night exhibitor teams who want in-room cooking. Confirm kitchen amenities and any minimum-stay rule at booking.

midscale
Spring Valley / west of the StripUSD 175–220 / night
Approximate band converted from a Google Hotels capture. Free cancellation and a hot tub were listed. The west-side location is quieter than the Strip and works well with a rental car, with a 15-25 minute drive to the convention corridor depending on traffic.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLas Vegas Terminal 3 (LAS) - international and select carriers (LAS) to Las Vegas
Pickup zones are signed at each LAS terminal. Journey is roughly 7-11 mi depending on the route, about 20-25 minutes off-peak and longer during the Monday arrival crunch. Confirm the fare in the app before requesting.
taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLAS airport taxi line to Strip and convention-area hotels
Taxis wait at marked lines outside each terminal. Metered fares vary with the route taken and traffic on I-15 or Paradise Road; ask for a receipt for expense claims.
public bus (RTC Southern Nevada)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forRTC residential routes and the Deuce Strip service
RTC publishes schedules, maps and fare and pass pages. The Deuce runs the Strip corridor with frequent stops and is the cheapest way to move between Strip hotels, though it is slower than rideshare at peak times.
monorail
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLas Vegas Monorail along the resort corridor
The Monorail is positioned as an alternative to shuttles, taxis and trams along the Strip. It connects several resort stops but does not reach the airport, so pair it with a rideshare or bus for the airport leg.
rental car
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forLAS rental car centre to hotel and venue parking
Useful only if you plan to visit manufactured home communities, retail sales centers or plants outside the metro area. On-airport rental shuttles run from the consolidated rental car facility.
walking
Estimated costFree
Best forStrip and resort corridor hotels to the convention halls
Distances on the Strip are deceptive because of set-backs, pedestrian bridges and casino interiors. Wear comfortable shoes and add 10 minutes to any first walk of the day.
Weather
April is one of the better months to be in Las Vegas for a trade show: warm, mostly dry and bright. Expect afternoon highs around 27-30 C (80-86 F) and overnight lows near 14-18 C (57-64 F), with strong afternoon sun and occasional gusty spring wind. Rain is uncommon but not impossible, so a compact umbrella is cheap insurance. Convention halls are heavily air conditioned, which makes a light layer useful indoors even when it is hot outside. The free-source weather lookup for this run did not return a live forecast, so check a current Las Vegas forecast in the week before arrival.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Las Vegas has strong mobile coverage across the resort corridor from the major United States carriers, and most hotels and the venue offer Wi-Fi, though convention-hall networks slow down when the floor is busy. Travellers from outside the United States should arrange an eSIM or a local prepaid SIM before arrival, confirm their roaming plan covers the United States, and remember that the country uses 120 V Type A/B plugs, so a plug adapter may be needed for European, UK or Australian devices. Download the schedule, floor plan and hotel confirmations for offline use, and carry a power bank for long days away from an outlet.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Business casual is the working norm at Las Vegas conventions: collared shirts, slacks or business dresses, with a jacket for evening functions. Halls are heavily air conditioned, so light layers help across a day that moves between session rooms, the Expo floor and outdoor walkways.
Tipping
Tipping is expected in the United States for table service, bar staff, hotel housekeeping, bell staff and rideshare drivers. Budget roughly 15-20 percent for restaurant service and a few dollars per bag or per housekeeping day, and keep small bills for shuttle and valet situations.
Arrival and badge pickup
Allow extra time on the first morning for badge collection, bag checks and the indoor walk from the resort corridor to the convention halls. Bring a government-issued photo ID, since registration desks may ask for it even when you are pre-registered.
Business introductions
Introductions are typically brief and direct: a handshake, your name, company and role. Dealer, community operator and supplier conversations often move quickly to price, lead time and financing terms, so have specification sheets and terms ready rather than a long company history.
Casino and hotel etiquette
Hotels commonly route foot traffic through gaming floors, and smoking rules vary by property. Keep conversations out of gaming areas, avoid photographing tables or players, and confirm whether your hotel charges a nightly resort fee on top of the quoted room rate.
Desert conditions
April days are warm and very dry, and the sun is strong even when the air temperature feels mild. Carry water, use sun protection for the walk between venues, and expect cool evenings that call for a light jacket after the sessions end.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: LAS
Set Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) as the arrival airport. Captured Google Flights searches for 12 April 2027 showed nonstop New York JFK-LAS at roughly 5 hr 51 min to 5 hr 58 min, while London, Tokyo and Sydney routings connect once via PHX, LAX, SFO, SEA or YVR and run about 13-24 hours door to door. Google's price insights flagged New York fares as currently high and London fares as about USD 160 below the usual level for the search, so set a price alert rather than booking on the first quote. Book the outbound to land the evening before your first session, and check whether your hotel charges a resort fee that changes the real cost of the trip. Rideshare and taxi pickups are signed at each LAS terminal.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Harry Reid International Airport (Las Vegas) (LAS): 15-25 min off-peak; 25-45 min during convention peaks; Las Vegas Terminal 1 (LAS) - domestic carriers (LAS): 15-30 min depending on traffic on I-15 or Paradise Road; Las Vegas Terminal 3 (LAS) - international and select carriers (LAS): 15-30 min depending on traffic. Allow road or rail time to Las Vegas; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Las Vegas: East Tropicana / near the Strip south end: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Las Vegas - E Tropicana by IHG; Stadium Area / south Strip: Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Las Vegas Stadium Area; Stadium Area / south Strip: Holiday Inn Express Las Vegas - Stadium Area by IHG.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across the Las Vegas metro, and rideshare is the default way most attendees move between the airport, hotels and the convention corridor. Pickup zones are signed at each LAS terminal, and hotels typically have a designated rideshare area rather than the main lobby drive. Expect roughly USD 25-40 from the airport to the resort corridor before tip, with surge pricing during peak arrival windows and after large evening events. Confirm the fare in the app before requesting, check the licence plate, and note that the Monorail and RTC buses are cheaper but slower alternatives during busy convention days.
Public transit: Public transport in Las Vegas is run by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), which publishes schedules, maps and fare and pass pages. The Deuce is the frequent Strip corridor service, useful for moving between resort hotels, while residential routes reach areas beyond the tourist core. The Las Vegas Monorail is a separate elevated service along the resort corridor with its own ticketing, positioned as an alternative to shuttles, taxis and trams. Neither reaches the airport, so pair public transit with a rideshare, taxi or shuttle for the airport leg; approximate fares and pass options are listed in the local transport section above, and current pricing should be confirmed on the operator sites before travel.
Parking: Self-parking and valet are available at most Las Vegas hotels, and venues typically run adjacent garages or surface lots for convention traffic. Rates are set by each property, commonly charged per day rather than per hour for hotel guests and per entry for event parking, so confirm the current charge with your hotel or the venue rather than assuming it is included in the room rate. Arrive early on the first morning, since garage queues peak in the hour before the opening session, and use the signed rideshare or drop-off area if you are being set down rather than parking. Exhibitors with freight or large vehicles should follow the organiser's move-in instructions instead of public parking areas.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027 (the edition is listed for 12-14 April 2027 in Las Vegas)
Temperature: Mid-April in Las Vegas typically runs highs of about 27-30 C (80-86 F) and overnight lows of about 14-18 C (57-64 F). These are climatological bands, not a live forecast, so check a current forecast in the week before travel.
Seasonality: April sits in one of the drier stretches of the Las Vegas year, with only occasional rain and gusty spring winds. It is also peak convention and event season, which pushes hotel rates up, so book early and keep a cancellation window. Confirm the live forecast before packing.
Packing: Pack light business casual layers: breathable shirts, slacks or business dresses for the Expo floor, plus a light jacket or wrap for heavily air-conditioned session rooms and cool desert evenings. Comfortable walking shoes matter more than formal shoes given the distances between hotels and halls. Add sun protection, sunglasses, a refillable water bottle, a compact umbrella for the rare spring shower, a power bank and a 120 V plug adapter if you are travelling from outside the United States.

Answers
Frequently asked
What is the MHI Congress & Expo?
It is the annual national meeting and trade exhibition of the Manufactured Housing Institute, the United States trade association for factory-built housing. The programme combines business sessions for producers, community operators, lenders and suppliers with an Expo hall of building products, home models, finance and software providers. The 2027 edition is listed for April in Las Vegas.
When and where is the 2027 Congress & Expo?
The edition is scheduled for 12-14 April 2027 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Venue details, hall assignments and the final session grid are published on manufacturedhousing.org, and travel bookings made for those dates should be reconfirmed against the organiser schedule page before departure.
Who should attend the Congress & Expo?
Manufactured and modular home producers, retail sales center owners and sales managers, land-lease community owners and operators, chattel and floorplan lenders, insurers, transport and installation contractors, component suppliers and association or regulatory staff. If your revenue depends on factory-built housing production, retail or community operations, the programme is built around those audiences.
Is the show open to the public or restricted to the industry?
Programming is aimed at the manufactured housing trade rather than the general public. MHI sets registration categories and eligibility, including distinct rates for manufacturers, suppliers, community operators and guests. Check the registration section of manufacturedhousing.org before booking travel if you are unsure which category fits your business.
How do I register and what does attendance cost?
Registration runs through the Congress & Expo pages on manufacturedhousing.org, where MHI publishes categories, fees, sponsor packages and any deadline dates. This listing was prepared without a captured registration price table, so confirm current fees and cut-off dates directly with the organiser, and note that registration deadlines shift as the event approaches.
What happens on the Expo floor?
Exhibitors cover the supply chain that builds and operates manufactured homes: home models and plant components, siding and roofing, cabinets and appliances, foundations and anchoring, transport and set services, plus chattel lenders, floorplan finance, insurance and community management software. Use the floor plan to map supplier meetings against the session schedule.
Which topics do the conference sessions cover?
Session tracks are built around the issues the industry is actively working on: federal and state regulation and code updates, chattel and consumer finance markets, community operations and resident relations, plant productivity and materials costs, and retail sales and marketing. The live agenda with session titles and times is published on the organiser schedule page.
Which airport should I fly into?
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the main gateway, roughly 8 mi (13 km) from the Las Vegas resort corridor, about 15-25 minutes off-peak and longer during convention peaks. Rideshare and taxi pickups are signed at each terminal, and rental cars are available on-airport if you plan to visit communities or dealer lots outside the city.
How do I get from my hotel to the venue?
Most attendees stay along the Strip and resort corridor. Depending on the hall, the walk is often 10-25 minutes, with rideshare, taxi, the Las Vegas Monorail and RTC buses as alternatives. Build 20-30 minutes into the first morning for badge pickup, security and the walk to the session rooms.
Do I need a car in Las Vegas?
Not for the Congress itself. Rideshare, taxi, the Monorail and RTC bus routes cover the resort corridor, and self-parking is available at most hotels and venues for a daily fee. A car is only useful if you plan to visit manufactured home communities, retail sales centers or plants outside the metro area.
What is the dress code?
Business casual is the norm: collared shirts, slacks, business dresses or jackets, with comfortable shoes for long stretches on the Expo floor. Convention halls are heavily air conditioned, so bring a light layer for session rooms and plan for warm desert afternoons outdoors.
What is the weather like in Las Vegas in April?
April is typically warm and dry, with afternoon highs around 27-30 C (80-86 F) and overnight lows near 14-18 C (57-64 F). Rain is uncommon but spring wind can be gusty. Carry water, sun protection and a light jacket for cool evenings, and check a live forecast in the week before travel.
Can I bring a colleague or spouse?
Guest and spouse attendance policies, including any guest registration fee or social function access, are set by MHI and published with the registration information. Confirm the guest category with the organiser rather than assuming a badge can be shared.
Are sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities available?
Yes. MHI sells exhibit space and sponsorship packages for the Congress & Expo, and supplier visibility typically includes Expo booths, session sponsorships and branded functions. Contact the organiser through manufacturedhousing.org for the current prospectus, floor plan and availability.
Glossary
- HUD Code
- The federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, administered by HUD, that govern how manufactured homes are built, including structure, plumbing, electrical and energy requirements. A home built to this code carries a HUD label.
- Manufactured home
- A home built in a factory to the federal HUD Code after 15 June 1976 and transported to site in one or more sections. It is distinct from a modular home, which is built to state or local building codes.
- Modular home
- A factory-built home assembled from modules but permitted and inspected under state or local building codes rather than the HUD Code. Modular producers attend the same shows because buyers, plants and suppliers overlap.
- Land-lease community
- A manufactured home community where residents own their home and lease the lot beneath it. Community owners typically supply roads, utilities, amenities and management services, and lease terms are a recurring policy topic at the Congress.
- Chattel loan
- A loan secured by the manufactured home as personal property rather than by a real estate mortgage. Chattel terms, rates and secondary-market access are core finance topics for dealers and community operators.
- Floorplan financing
- Short-term lending that lets a retail sales center hold home inventory on its lot before a buyer closes. Floorplan lenders and their dealer relationships are a standard part of the Expo exhibit mix.
- Retail sales center
- The dealer business that displays model homes, contracts with homebuyers and arranges transport, installation and financing. Sales center owners and managers are a primary visitor segment.
- Community operator
- A company that owns or manages manufactured home communities, handling leasing, rent collection, infrastructure maintenance, resident relations and capital upgrades across a portfolio of sites.
- Installation and setup
- The on-site process of placing a home on its foundation or piers, leveling, anchoring, connecting utilities and completing the HUD-required installation inspection. Set crews and installers work to state-licensed or HUD-recognized standards.
- Toter
- The heavy-duty truck and hitch configuration used to move manufactured home sections from the plant or dealer lot to the home site. Transport scheduling and permit routing are practical concerns for dealers.
- Statement of ownership / title
- The document recording legal ownership of a manufactured home. Whether a home is titled as personal property or converted to real property affects financing, insurance and resale, and is a frequent lender and community discussion point.
- MHI
- The Manufactured Housing Institute, the national trade association that organises the Congress & Expo and represents manufactured housing producers, community operators, suppliers and lenders in Washington.
- CrossMod-style home
- A manufactured home built with design features that resemble site-built housing, such as an attached garage, pitched roof and higher-end finishes, aimed at suburban subdivisions and land-lease communities. The category is used by producers to reach buyers who would not consider a traditional single-section home. Confirm current terminology with the exhibitor.
- Resident-owned community
- A manufactured home community in which residents collectively own the land, often through a cooperative or homeowners association. Financing and conversion mechanics are a recurring topic for community owners and resident groups.
