About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe National Lawn & Garden Show (NLGS) is a B2B trade event that connects buyers and vendors across the lawn and garden industry through a distinctive appointment-based format. Running since 1995, the show is committed to connecting companies and individuals in the lawn and garden industry through professional engagement.
Rather than a traditional open exhibit floor, the show pairs attendees through pre-matched meetings. Its custom matched appointments are designed to create a fun and efficient business model, built on the belief that face-to-face connections drive business and build lasting relationships. This appointment-based B2B event matches buyers and vendors based on common product interests to maximize ROI.
The event is designed for professionals seeking to generate leads and grow their businesses. Note that the public will not be admitted — this is strictly a trade-only gathering for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and buyers in the lawn, garden, and outdoor living categories. Attendees come to source new products, discover trends, and build relationships in a concentrated, time-efficient setting.
Show Highlights
Key features of the National Lawn & Garden Show include:
- Efficient format — the show's condensed schedule is built to save time and money by combining several months of meetings into one event.
- 10-minute appointments — fast, guaranteed meetings that are pre-matched by product category between buyers and vendors.
- National exposure — a venue for showcasing new product innovations and industry trends.
- Networking and business growth — opportunities to connect with new and existing colleagues.
The organizers publish a vendor category list so participants can see how appointments are matched by product interest.

History
The National Lawn & Garden Show has operated since 1995, positioning itself as a long-running B2B connector for the lawn and garden industry.

The 2025 show was also completed, and the organizers have announced future editions in Las Vegas (2026) and Memphis (2027), reflecting the event's national footprint.
Venue & Travel
Venue
Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino
3000 Paradise Road
The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton) is located adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center and just one block from the Las Vegas Strip, offering legendary entertainment and some of the most spacious rooms in Las Vegas. The resort is situated on roughly 59 acres adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center, minutes from the Strip and convenient to the I-15 Freeway. It offers approximately 2,956 well-designed rooms and suites. On-property amenities include a 1,600-seat theater, 11 dining choices, a 95,000-square-foot casino floor, and the SuperBook race and sports book.
Parking
The resort offers on-site parking, including garage facilities. Complimentary EV charging stations are available onsite, located in the North Parking Garage on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking policies and any applicable fees can change, so it is best to contact the resort directly to confirm whether a parking fee applies and the amount.
Getting There
Getting to the Westgate Las Vegas is straightforward:
- By air — Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is about a 9-minute drive from the resort.
- Monorail — The Westgate Monorail Station is attached to the resort, and the station at the front door links the property to the Strip via a five-minute ride.
- Vegas Loop — the Vegas Loop station connects Westgate Las Vegas to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Resorts World Las Vegas, with future expansions planned.
- Bus — a Deuce Bus stop is near the Westgate; the Deuce operates 24/7 and reaches downtown and the Fremont Street Experience. RTC Bus 108 travels between Paradise/University Center and Terminal 1 at Harry Reid International Airport, and stops at the Sahara Monorail Station.
- Rideshare and shuttle — private airport transportation and rideshare pickup/drop-off are available at the resort's porte-cochère.
Nearby Hotels
The host venue, Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, is the primary lodging for attendees. The show has secured a discounted group rate — attendees should reference the National Lawn & Garden Show group code SNLG6R to receive the discounted room rate of $133.00 plus a $28.00 resort fee, for a total room cost of $161.00 before tax. This rate is not guaranteed after May 24th, 2026.
Because the resort is adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center and one block from the Las Vegas Strip, numerous additional Strip and convention-corridor hotels are within a short monorail ride or drive, including properties served by the Las Vegas Monorail's seven stations.
Note: no one from NLGS or its hotel partners will ever call you directly to book your room; such calls or emails are scams, and the only way to receive the discounted rate is through the link provided on the show's website.
