Method
We list Las Vegas trade shows and conventions only when the show’s official site publishes dates; every entry links its official source. This page counts shows that start within twelve months of the last site build. “Busiest weeks” counts shows running on at least one day of a Monday–Sunday week. Venue groups combine halls of the same convention center. Attendance figures are quoted from each organizer and are not comparable one to one.
