World Market Center Las Vegas announced that it negotiated some outstanding deals that will save attendees big dollars at the inaugural Fall Las Vegas Market, September 14 – 17, making Las Vegas more affordable than ever before.
In addition to the nearly 1,500 exhibitors and product lines, not to mention an array of programming to provide added value to the Market experience, World Market Center is providing cost-effective Las Vegas travel discounts and preferential rates that can be conveniently found online at www.LasVegasMarket.com. Planning tools for September’s Market are also available to pre-register, book hotel accommodations and access a number of helpful resources.
"For smart business travelers, Las Vegas continues to be a sure bet," said Robert Maricich, President and Chief Executive Officer of World Market Center Las Vegas. “The changing economy has led to many attendees putting a new emphasis on getting more value for their dollar, whether they’re spending it on essentials or air travel and hotel packages,” Maricich said. “People are more value conscious and we’re ensuring we provide that experience.”
Compared to other convention cities, Las Vegas is now one of the most affordable U.S. destinations, according to the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority. Direct flights to Las Vegas are available from more than 140 cities with an average cost of $240 – less than any other convention city. Hotel rates are at an all-time low and the average taxi fare is nearly half that of other major convention locales.
“Las Vegas has unparalleled facilities, amenities and service in the meeting and convention industry, and it remains one of the best values for planners, exhibitors and attendees to gather and conduct business,” said Rossi Ralenkotter, president and Chief Executive Officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “No other destination can provide the experience of Las Vegas for the value we offer.”

Rates are as low as $29 per night, with some of the more upscale resorts as low as $120 per night.
