PRINTING United Expo is one of the largest printing industry trade shows in the Americas, and when staged in Las Vegas it takes over the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). Across three days it spans commercial, wide-format, digital, textile, packaging and industrial printing, with live equipment demonstrations drawing print service providers, brand owners and suppliers from across North America and beyond. For a hotel-booking traveller, Las Vegas is unusually convenient for conventions: the LVCC sits just off the Strip, connected by the Las Vegas Monorail and the underground Vegas Loop, with tens of thousands of hotel rooms within a short ride or walk. Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is only a few miles away. That density means you can pick almost any Strip hotel and reach the halls easily, balancing resort amenities and price against walking distance to the LVCC. Business visitors often stay at monorail-linked properties near the convention center to shorten the daily commute.

Getting there
From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- LAS is only about 8-10 km from the LVCC, typically a 15-20 minute drive depending on Strip traffic.
- Taxis, ride-hailing (Uber, Lyft) and hotel shuttles all serve the airport's dedicated pickup areas.
- There is no direct train from the airport; the monorail runs along the Strip but not to the airport itself.
- Rental cars are available, though most convention visitors find ride-hailing simpler for the short hop.
By monorail and Strip transport
- The Las Vegas Monorail stops at the LVCC and links convention hotels along the east side of the Strip.
- The Vegas Loop (underground Tesla shuttle) moves attendees quickly around the LVCC campus.
- Strip buses (the Deuce) and ride-hailing cover longer trips along Las Vegas Boulevard.
- Many Strip hotels are within walking distance or a single monorail stop of the convention center.
Getting around during PRINTING United Expo
Monorail and local transit
- The Las Vegas Monorail connects the LVCC to several major Strip resorts, avoiding road traffic.
- The Vegas Loop provides fast, free transfers between LVCC halls and campus stations.
- The Deuce and SDX buses run along the Strip for destinations the monorail does not reach.
- Walking between adjacent Strip hotels is common, though distances look shorter than they are.
Taxis and ride-hailing
- Uber and Lyft are widely used; designated pickup zones exist at the airport and major resorts.
- Taxi ranks are plentiful at hotels and the convention center.
- Ride-hailing surge pricing spikes at show open and close and during big events, so plan ahead.
- For nearby hotels, the monorail or walking often beats sitting in Strip traffic.
Visa & entry
ESTA and Visa Waiver Program
- Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries can enter the US for business with an approved ESTA.

- Ensure your passport meets US validity and machine-readable requirements.
B-1 business visa applicants
- Travellers from non-VWP countries need a B-1 business visitor visa arranged in advance.
- US visa interview wait times can be long, so apply early ahead of major shows.
- Bring proof of purpose, such as show registration or an invitation, to your interview.
- Keep your visa and documents accessible for entry at LAS.
Entry rules change; confirm current requirements with the United States embassy or official immigration site before booking travel.
First time at PRINTING United Expo?
- Choose a monorail-linked Strip hotel near the LVCC to shorten your daily commute to the halls.
- Book early; Las Vegas hosts back-to-back conventions, so rooms and rates fluctuate sharply.
- Use the Vegas Loop to move fast between LVCC buildings, which are spread across a big campus.
- Distances on the Strip are deceiving; plan more time than the map suggests for walking.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- The monorail beats taxis and ride-hailing during peak show hours when the Strip clogs.
- PRINTING United rotates host cities, so confirm the edition is in Las Vegas before booking here.
- Stay hydrated in the desert climate and layer for strong indoor air-conditioning.
- Book restaurants and shows in advance; convention weeks strain the best Strip venues.
