About Bar & Restaurant Expo
Bar & Restaurant Expo is the Las Vegas trade show for independent bar and restaurant owners, operators and managers, and for people getting ready to open their own place. It has run for more than four decades, and the 2027 edition is from Monday 22 to Wednesday 24 March 2027 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the Expo Hall open on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 March.
The show floor is arranged in five pavilions (food and beverage; equipment, furniture and build out; services, supplies and solutions; technology and innovation; entertainment and experience), with workshops, masterclasses and a keynote by Danny Meyer on Tuesday 23 March. The organiser counted over 10,000 people at the 2026 edition. Everyone must be 21 or over, with ID checked before badge pick up.
The Las Vegas Monorail and the Vegas Loop both serve the convention centre, so hotels near the campus and along the Monorail line are the easiest bases. This page shows live Las Vegas hotel rates for the show dates, which you can change. Show passes are separate from your hotel, and Event Escapes is independent of Bar & Restaurant Expo.

How do you get to Bar & Restaurant Expo?
From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- Taxis wait outside baggage claim at both terminals: at Terminal 1 on the east side, and at Terminal 3 on Level Zero near door 52
- Uber and Lyft pick up inside the parking garages: on Level 2 at Terminal 1 and on the Valet Level at Terminal 3
- Public buses run by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada also serve the airport
- The airport is close to the Strip and the convention centre, so a taxi or rideshare is the usual transfer
Arriving at the South Hall
- The organiser gives the address as Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Rideshare pick up and drop off is at the Bronze Lot West Rideshare point
- The organiser lists paid parking in the Silver, Bronze and Diamond lots from 20 to 26 March, by credit or debit card only, no cash
- From the Monorail station, the operator says one side of the elevated bridge leads to the South Hall, then a walk across the south Silver Parking Lot to the hall entrance
How do you get around during Bar & Restaurant Expo?
Monorail and Vegas Loop
- The Las Vegas Monorail links the convention centre with stations at MGM Grand, Horseshoe/Paris, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah's/The LINQ, Westgate and SAHARA
- During large conventions the Monorail operator says trains arrive every 4 to 5 minutes and reach the convention centre in no more than 10 minutes from anywhere on the line
- Vegas Loop rides between stations inside the convention centre are free; the organiser recommends Central Station, and South Station gives access to the rear of the Expo Hall during Expo Hall hours
Around the show
- A Vegas Loop ticket is needed for rides to or from stations outside the convention centre campus
- Taxis and rideshare are the usual way between the convention centre, the Strip and Downtown
- There is no coat or luggage check at the convention centre, so leave bags at your hotel on check out day
- Distances on the Strip are longer than they look, so allow extra time for evening events at other venues
