Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: LAS
Harry Reid International (LAS) is about 8 mi (13 km) from Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Book the LAS leg first and then fix hotel dates; the sampled Google Flights capture returned a mix of unrelated routes and dates, so treat any displayed fare as indicative and re-check for 13-15 October 2026. International delegates from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania should expect at least one connection. Arrive a day before opening to absorb transfer time and the US entry process.
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 Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino: Las Vegas Strip (venue host): Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino; Las Vegas Strip: OYO Hotel and Casino Las Vegas; West of the Strip (Palms Place): Palms Casino Resort.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Las Vegas; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Public transit to Mandalay Bay is limited compared with the Strip core: the nearest documented stop is Nb Las Vegas at Luxor / Mandalay Bay, served by local bus routes. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip and requires a connecting walk or rideshare. Free tram segments link Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur, which covers the last stretch from the south Strip. For show days, a rideshare from an off-Strip hotel is usually the fastest option.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Seasonality: October is one of the driest months in Las Vegas; rain is uncommon but brief desert showers are possible. Expect clear skies and strong sun most days of the show week.
Packing: Pack light layers: short sleeves for the afternoon walk between halls and a jacket for the heavily air-conditioned convention center and cool desert evenings. Bring sunglasses, a hat, high-factor sunscreen and a refillable water bottle. Comfortable shoes matter because Mandalay Bay's convention space is large and spread across connected halls.

Answers
Frequently asked
What is the NARPM Convention?
It is the annual convention of the National Association of Residential Property Managers, the US trade body for firms that manage single-family homes and small rental portfolios. The programme combines education for owners, brokers and managers with an exhibitor floor of property management suppliers, and the edition referenced here takes place at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Who attends the NARPM Convention?
Attendees are overwhelmingly residential property management professionals: brokerage owners, portfolio and regional managers, leasing staff, trust-accounting and compliance staff, and maintenance coordinators. Suppliers of software, screening, insurance, maintenance and marketing services attend as exhibitors and sponsors.
Where is the convention held and how do I get there from the airport?
The venue is Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is roughly 8 miles (13 km) away, a 15-25 minute drive off-peak; taxi and rideshare runs are commonly quoted around USD 25-45, and shared shuttle services to Strip resorts are also available. The Las Vegas Monorail does not reach Mandalay Bay, but free tram segments connect Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur.
Can non-members register?
Yes. The registration page lists a member full convention rate and a higher non-member full convention rate (USD 1,049 member and USD 1,249 non-member at the time of capture). Confirm the live rates and any day-pass or guest options on narpmconvention.com before booking, since tiers and deadlines are set by the organiser.
What should I plan to do across the convention days?
Build your agenda from the official schedule on narpmconvention.com, prioritising the sessions that match your role - trust accounting and compliance, owner acquisition and retention, leasing and occupancy, or operations and maintenance. Leave blocks free for the exhibitor floor, because most vendor evaluation for the coming year happens in those conversations.
What is the weather like and what should I pack?
Mid-October in Las Vegas is desert mild: daytime highs typically sit in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius and nights drop into the teens. Rain is rare but the sun is strong, and convention halls run cold air conditioning, so pack business casual layers, comfortable shoes for the walk between halls and the Strip, and sun protection. Check the forecast closer to travel.
What does full convention registration include?
Full convention registration is priced as a multi-day pass rather than a single-day ticket, covering the convention programme for its duration. Because inclusions can change between editions (meal events, recorded sessions, guest passes), confirm exactly what your tier covers on the organiser registration page before you pay.
How do suppliers exhibit or sponsor?
Exhibiting and sponsorship are arranged directly with NARPM through its exhibitor and sponsor programme, not through the attendee registration page. Booth pricing is not published in the material captured here, so request the current prospectus from the organiser and confirm floor hours, badge allocations and shipping rules before committing.
