2018 Convention-Las Vegas

[Brian D.]

Just wondering: at which facility will the 2018 National Convention be held?
Las Vegas Convention Center on Paradise Rd.?
Sands Convention Center?
Other?
(It's never too early to start planning...)

the whole thing (except excursions) will happen at the South Point Resort. The Resort has something like 10,000 rooms, and July is not tourist season in LV, so rooms should not be a problem. You can reserve yours now if you want. I don't think there will be any block rate (but I may be mistaken).

Wait for the announcement in the Nov/Dec Driveline...there is a group rate and you have to mention it to get the rate...

No kidding! I wonder why?

Terry, I'm amazed too!
Who wouldn't want to go to Las Vegas in July?!?!

Frankly Terry, I don't know about you, but IMO, based on the last 5 Nationals, every venue would have been much more enjoyable if it were held in March or October. Not sure why it always has to be in the hottest month of the year everywhere, is that in a TIM&JG, or JRM someplace?

NCRS Bylaws state the annual National Convention to be held in July or August of each year.

Ah, so that is something the board can change, thanks!

I might do October in Rhode Island, but I sure wouldn't do March.

Don't look for that to happen in the near or distant future...

When I lived in Boston, March always seemed like such a nice month, but maybe RI is too close to the ocean.

Do not forget the # of Midwestern families that do the summer visitation at Disneyland and, either going in or out, Vegas gets to be Mom and Dad's reward. I think that the Hotel is also home to Mecum's Motorcycle auction in January.

And the board wonders why attendance is decreasing Convention needs to be moved Better weather cheaper accommodations better attendance
