The first NAB convention was held in 1923 in New York, organized by the newly formed National Association of (Radio) Broadcasters. For decades the show rotated between cities including Washington, D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and others, and first tried Las Vegas in 1975.
In 1991 the NAB Show settled permanently in Las Vegas, where it grew explosively — from roughly 51,000 attendees that year to more than 100,000 by the late 1990s and over a million net square feet of exhibit space by 2000. Along the way the show became the launchpad for landmark media technologies, including the introduction of streaming video in 1995, the debut of HDTV in 1996 and the unveiling of non-linear editing tools such as Apple's Final Cut Pro in 1998.
After the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show returned in person to the Las Vegas Convention Center in April 2022 and has since reestablished itself as the global flagship event for media, entertainment and broadcast technology, with the 2026 edition drawing 58,000+ registrants from 146 countries.

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) serves as the anchor venue for CES, with a campus spanning 4.6 million square feet. CES 2026 was the first major trade show held at the LVCC following completion of its $600 million renovation. The redesigned Grand Lobby connects the North and Central Halls and features stage programming, exhibits, and food service. The new Central Hall Atrium is defined by a striking glass curtain wall and dynamic digital display screens.
LVCC halls used during CES:
The LVCC Loop, an underground autonomous vehicle transit system, provides free and fast cross-campus transportation connecting West Hall with Central and South Halls. CES 2026 spanned 12 official venues across three main campuses totaling more than 2.6 million net square feet: the LVCC Campus, the Venetian Campus (Venetian Expo, hosting Eureka Park and the Digital Health Summit), and the C Space Campus at ARIA Resort & Casino. Additional CES venues included Fontainebleau Las Vegas (CES Foundry) and the Las Vegas Sphere (Lenovo Tech World keynote).
There is no public parking available at the LVCC or the Venetian Expo during CES. ADA parking is available at official CES hotels on a first-come, first-served basis; check directly with individual hotel properties for their parking policies and rates.
Passenger pick-up and drop-off at the LVCC is permitted at the S2, C5, and West Hall entrances only. Drivers must remain with their vehicles at all times; standing or unattended parking is not allowed at these entrances.
For cross-campus movement, the LVCC Loop (free underground transit) connects West Hall with Central and South Halls. The Vegas Loop offers paid rides between the LVCC and nearby hotel properties — Resorts World, Encore, and Westgate — for a small fare.
Nearest Airport: Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is located approximately 3 miles south of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Rideshare, taxis, and rental cars are all available at the terminal.
CES Complimentary Hotel Shuttles: Free shuttle service runs from select official CES hotels to and from the LVCC and Venetian Expo, Monday–Friday during the show week. Download the shuttle route flyer at ces.tech for specific stops and schedules.
Venue-to-Venue Express Shuttles:
Las Vegas Monorail: Links the LVCC and Westgate to Strip hotels including MGM Grand, Flamingo, Harrah's/LINQ, Horseshoe/Paris, and Sahara. Hours: Monday 7 AM–midnight; Tuesday–Thursday 7 AM–2 AM; Friday–Sunday 7 AM–3 AM. Discounted Monorail passes can be added directly to your CES registration badge. Note: The Monorail does not serve the Venetian Expo — use the Tech Express shuttle for that route.
LVCC Loop / Vegas Loop:
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft): Designated pickup and drop-off zones: LVCC (outside South Hall near the Bronze Lot and Renaissance Hotel, or Diamond Lot near West Hall); Venetian Expo (main porte-cochere on Sands Ave.); ARIA (lower level, North Valet Lobby). Check in-app prompts for current pickup instructions.
CES designates onPeak as its only official housing agent. Attendees are encouraged to book early through onPeak (accessible via ces.tech), as official CES hotels fill quickly and rates increase as the show approaches. Individual reservations (up to 9 rooms) and group blocks (10 or more rooms on a single night) are both available through onPeak. For assistance, contact CEShotels@onPeak.com or call 800-247-0744 (toll-free) or +1-312-527-7300 (international).
