Embassy Suites by Hilton Las Vegas

Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
10–20 min off-peak; rideshare pick-up zones are signed at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, and a flat-rate taxi band applies from the airport zone.
train
Runs behind the east-side resorts with a station opening onto the LVCC campus; the fastest car-free option from Strip hotels and a 4-day pass is available for show week.
bus
Route 108 runs from downtown along Paradise Road past the Convention Center; Route 109 (Maryland Parkway) stops a short walk from the halls.
bus
Underground electric shuttle loop that removes the long outdoor walk between halls and the Resorts World / Encore hotel complex.
taxi
Budget 15–25 min from mid-Strip and 20–30 min from downtown; traffic peaks on convention mornings between 08:00 and 09:30.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
October is one of the most comfortable months in Las Vegas: afternoon highs typically reach 27–31°C (80–88°F) with overnight lows of 13–17°C (55–63°F), and the desert air dries out completely after the summer monsoon. Rain is rare — under 10 mm across one or two days — and humidity sits around 20–30%, so pack light layers, sun protection and a light jacket for cool evenings. Walking distances inside the LVCC are long, so comfortable shoes and a refillable water bottle matter more than an umbrella.

Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity

Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping
Tipping is expected in Las Vegas: 18–22% on restaurant bills, USD 1–2 per drink at bars, and USD 2–5 per day for hotel housekeeping. Rideshare and taxi drivers are typically tipped 10–15%.
Business etiquette
Business casual is the norm across print industry stands; a jacket is standard for supplier dinners and executive meetings. Greetings are brief and informal, first names are used quickly, and punctuality for booth appointments is taken seriously.
Resort fees and venue rules
Most Strip hotels add a mandatory nightly resort fee of USD 30–50 that covers Wi-Fi and fitness access, and it is charged separately from the room rate. Badge and photo ID are required for entry to the Convention Center, and outside food and drink are restricted.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: LAS
Book flights to LAS (Las Vegas) when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue.
Business visitors from Visa Waiver Program countries — including the UK, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, South Korea and most of the EU — enter the United States visa-free with an approved ESTA, valid for stays up to 90 days. Attendees from all other countries require a US B-1 business visitor visa, lodged at a US embassy or consulate; apply four to six months ahead because interview slots at many posts are heavily booked. Both routes permit attending PRINTING United Expo, meeting suppliers and negotiating contracts, but not paid US employment. Carry your registration confirmation, a printed invitation and hotel details, and be ready to show them at the port of entry.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
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 Las Vegas Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Las Vegas Convention Center: 3000 Paradise Rd — adjacent to LVCC North Hall with its own Monorail station: Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino; 3400 Paradise Rd — directly across from LVCC North Hall: Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel; 3275 Paradise Rd — five-minute walk to LVCC: Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Las Vegas; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: RTC Transit Route 108 runs the length of Paradise Road with stops serving the Las Vegas Convention Center campus, while Route 109 serves Maryland Parkway a short walk from the halls; fares are roughly USD 2 for a two-hour pass and USD 5 for a 24-hour pass. The Las Vegas Monorail links Sahara, Westgate, the Convention Center, Harrah's/The LINQ and MGM Grand — single rides are about USD 5 and day passes about USD 13, and the Convention Center station opens straight onto the LVCC campus. From Harry Reid International, RTC Route 109 (Maryland Parkway) heads north toward the strip corridor; most attendees take a taxi or rideshare instead.

Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Temperature: Daytime highs 27–31°C (80–88°F); overnight lows 13–17°C (55–63°F) — a wide day-to-night swing typical of the Mojave desert.
Seasonality: October is the driest stretch of the Las Vegas year, averaging under 10 mm of rain across one or two days with clear skies and 20–30% humidity; the extreme summer heat has passed and the winter chill has not yet arrived.
Packing: October 2026
Plan your trip
Best day for qualified buyer meetings: Opening day, Wednesday 14 October 2026
Opening day carries the highest density of press launches, product debuts and keynote programming, and senior supplier staff are on the stand before travel schedules thin later in the run. Arrive at badge pickup before 09:00 to cover the digital and workflow halls in the morning while aisles are still navigable, and keep a second half-day free for wide-format, label and finishing revisits.

QUESTION 1 OF 6
What is your primary role?
Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.
visit
You are sourcing equipment, substrates or software and can commit two to three days on the floor to compare vendors and sit in on technical sessions.
Best for
Print service providers, in-plant print managers, brand owners and creative studios evaluating digital presses, wide-format kit, workflow software and finishing equipment, plus label and packaging converters comparing North American supply options.
Min. budget
$850.00
Timeline
6–10 weeks; lock hotel and flight 8–12 weeks out because October is peak convention season in Las Vegas and room rates climb sharply.
Risks
Las Vegas hotel rates spike on citywide event weeks — Paradise Road rooms near the LVCC sell out first and resort fees add USD 30–50 per night.
International attendees need an ESTA or B-1 visa well before travel; consular interview backlogs can run several months.
The LVCC campus spans multiple halls with long indoor walking distances, so a single day rarely covers the full floor.
exhibit
You have a North American sales pipeline to fill, a machine or workflow launch to demonstrate, and a team able to staff the stand for the full run of show.
Best for
Press, ink, substrate, software and finishing manufacturers, distributors and service bureaus targeting North American print service providers — particularly wide-format, label and packaging technology suppliers with new products to demonstrate.
Min. budget
$3,500.00
Timeline
6–9 months: space contract and booth build, freight and drayage planning, staff travel and hotel block all need to be locked before summer 2026.
Risks
Booth space, drayage, rigging and electrical charges escalate sharply for late contracts and are billed separately from the stand build.
Machinery demonstrations require freight forwarding and US customs clearance planning to avoid show-floor delays.
Hotel blocks and staffing in Las Vegas tighten as overlapping citywide conventions absorb room inventory in October.
skip
Your next equipment or software purchase is more than 18 months away, or travel budget and visa lead time cannot be met for October 2026.
Best for
Buyers with no North American production footprint and no budget for travel to the United States, or those whose entire sourcing need is covered by regional shows in Europe, Asia or Latin America.
Timeline
No planning required — monitor PRINTING United Alliance publications and post-show reporting for equipment announcements instead.
Risks
Missing hands-on comparisons of digital and hybrid presses and finishing lines that rarely appear together outside this show.
Deferring supplier meetings by a year can push contract terms and installation slots behind competitors.
