Overview

What Nightlife Is Like During International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Expo (AHR)

International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Expo (AHR) is one of the biggest events on the Las Vegas calendar, drawing over 50,000 attendees to the city each year during January-February. When the show floor closes, the energy shifts to the Strip's world-famous nightclubs, rooftop lounges, and gentlemen's clubs.

Convention weeks are some of the busiest nightlife periods in Las Vegas. Clubs often bring in top-tier headliners to capitalize on the influx of visitors, and venues fill up faster than usual. Getting on a guest list before you arrive is the smartest move you can make — it guarantees free entry and lets you skip the general admission line.

Getting Around

Transportation from Las Vegas Convention Center to Nightlife

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

Free Limo (Strip Clubs)

Las Vegas Monorail

The monorail runs along the east side of the Strip, connecting MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris, Flamingo, Harrah's/The LINQ, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. It's a great option if your nightclub is at one of these hotels. Single rides are $5; day passes are $13.

Walking the Strip

If your hotel is on the Strip and your nightclub is nearby, walking is a perfectly viable option. Most major nightclubs are inside casino-hotels. Just be aware that distances can be deceiving — what looks like a short walk on a map can easily take 20-30 minutes with pedestrian bridges and casino floor-throughs.
