Las Vegas Events Moving Forward Successfully and Safely
Despite a recent rise in Las Vegas’s COVID positivity rate, the city and our trade-show industry partners remain committed to moving forward with all events at full capacity. The Venetian Expo and Convention Center, home of the SHOT Show, has been in constant communication with us with assurance that the lessons we’ve learned over the past 16 months have helped live events return successfully and safely. As The Venetian’s Chandra Allison said this week, “After a year of virtual business meetings resulting from the pandemic, it is clear that no real substitute exists for face-to-face meetings and events. This is where deals are struck, relationships are forged, and brainstorming is at its best. Recent polls have shown them to be ‘irreplaceable,’ and they have finally begun to return, now that the science proves they can be held safely.” The Venetian’s current safety procedures and guidelines can be viewed here. — Chris Dolnack, NSSF
Live Q&A Session Aug. 25: Insights from the SHOT Show Media
In addition to being our industry’s largest trade show, the SHOT Show is also our industry’s largest gathering of media (more than 2,000 of them). It’s a prime opportunity to gain media coverage of your company and your products. Join us on Wednesday, August 25 at 2 p.m. Eastern for a live Q&A session with a panel of SHOT Show media veterans. They’ll tell you exactly what you’ll need to do to gain the attention of the media at the show and how to make your efforts successful. Register here. — Bill Dunn, NSSF

With Show’s Expansion, More Hotels Offer an Easy Commute Each Day
With the SHOT Show’s expansion to Caesars Forum, there are more hotel rooms in close proximity to the show than ever before. The LINQ and Harrah’s are steps away from the new Caesars Forum, and those who have stayed at The Venetian and Palazzo hotels can attest how convenient those two hotels are in getting back and forth to your room during the week. We encourage all our exhibitors and attendees to book their rooms as soon as possible, as room blocks are filling fast at a number of hotels. SHOT Show room blocks are available for booking through the SHOT Show website, and please remember that the only official SHOT Show housing providers are onPeak and The Venetian/Palazzo. — Melissa Schilling, NSSF
