About The NGA Show
The NGA Show 2027 runs from 31 January to 2 February at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas, with the conference over all three days and the exhibits open on 1 and 2 February. Presented by the National Grocers Association and produced by Clarion Events, it is the main gathering for independent grocers, wholesalers and the suppliers who sell to them, and it is co-located with the Independent Grocers Alliance.
The show stays in Las Vegas but changes venue: the 2025 edition was at Caesars Forum, and for 2027 the organiser has moved everything under one roof at the MGM Grand. The MGM Grand itself is the host hotel, and the rest of the South Strip is close by, so rooms around it go first.
This page shows live hotel rates near the MGM Grand for your dates, so you can compare staying on site with a lower rate further along the Strip.

Where should you eat during The NGA Show?
CES dinners book out weeks ahead: the good rooms near the Convention Center go first. These are the spots Vegas regulars actually take clients: reserve before you fly, and keep one casual back-up for the nights the schedule slips.

How do you get to The NGA Show?
From Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
- The organiser says the airport is the best one to fly to for the show and is about 2 miles from the MGM Grand
- At Terminal 1, taxis wait outside baggage claim on the east side (near doors 1 to 4); at Terminal 3 they wait on Level Zero near door 52
- Rideshare pick-up is signposted inside the terminals, and the airport lists public buses run by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada
- Allow extra time at the taxi rank on the Saturday and Sunday arrival days, when several shows can be arriving at once
Arriving by car
- The organiser points drivers to the MGM Grand parking garage
- The MGM Grand offers valet and self-parking, with in and out privileges for hotel guests using their room key
- Las Vegas Boulevard is often slow in the evening, so plan extra time if you drive in from Henderson or the west valley
How do you get around during The NGA Show?
Getting to the MGM Grand Conference Center each day
- If you stay at the MGM Grand, the conference centre is inside the same resort; for other hotels, check the distance shown for each one on this page
- The Las Vegas Monorail's MGM Grand Station is at the southern end of the line and connects directly to the resort, with stations at Horseshoe and Paris, Flamingo and Caesars Palace, Harrah's and The LINQ and further north
- Monorail trains start at 7:00 every day; on a Sunday to Tuesday show, check the closing time for each night on the operator's site
- Rideshare drop-off at the MGM Grand is in the Underground area beside a Monorail entrance, and queues build at peak times
Around Las Vegas
- The organiser recommends arriving on Saturday 30 January and leaving on Wednesday 3 February, so you can join the first session on Sunday and the closing event on Tuesday
- The closing party is at Topgolf on 2 February from 17:00 to 19:00, and all registered attendees and exhibitors are welcome
- Late January evenings in Las Vegas are cool, so bring a jacket for walks between resorts
Do you need a visa for The NGA Show?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current US entry rules for your passport before you travel, as they can change at short notice
- Travellers from Visa Waiver Program countries normally need an approved ESTA instead of a visa; US Customs and Border Protection recommends applying as soon as you start preparing your travel plans, or before buying airline tickets
- You must hold an e-Passport, with an embedded chip, to travel under the Visa Waiver Program
eVisa / visa required
- If your country is not in the Visa Waiver Program you will normally need a US visitor visa from a US embassy or consulate, so check local appointment wait times early
- An ESTA or visa lets you travel, but US border officers decide on admission when you arrive
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for your whole stay, with your ESTA approval or visa linked to that passport
- Your NGA Show registration confirmation and proof of your role in the grocery industry
- Your hotel booking and return or onward ticket, in case the border officer asks
US entry requirements change often, so verify the current rules on official US government websites or with your nearest US embassy before booking.
First time at The NGA Show?
- The NGA Show is a business to business event and is not open to the general public; register under the right business type, as the organiser asks
- The conference starts on Sunday 31 January but the exhibits only open on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 February, so plan supplier meetings for those two days
- The Expo Only pass is for retailers only; suppliers who are not exhibiting have their own registration package
- Your registration is booked with the organiser and is separate from your hotel booking; the organiser's cancellation deadline for registrations is 18 December 2026
- Look at the education schedule before you book flights: the first sessions are on Sunday, and the organiser suggests arriving the day before
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Retailers and wholesalers sending several people can use the organiser's 5 and 8 person Team Bundles on Full Conference Passes
- Staying one stop up the Monorail can cost less than the MGM Grand itself while keeping the commute short; check the distance shown for each hotel
- Fresh Pitches lets suppliers request introductions to participating retailers before the show, so suppliers should look at it as soon as it opens
