CHAMPS Trade Show Las Vegas (Winter) Visitors — Stay at Hilton Grand Vacations Strip for Nightlife

About CHAMPS Trade Show Las Vegas (Winter). The CHAMPS Trade Show winter edition returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center in December 2026, bringing together 15,000+ smoke, cannabis, and alternative lifestyle industry professionals for the final major trade event of the year. As the holiday season buying period for retail smoke shops, the December show is crucial for restocking and brand discovery ahead of the new year. The trade show draws around 15K industry professionals to Las Vegas Convention Center each December, concentrated in the cannabis and smoke sector. Las Vegas venue operators recognize CHAMPS Trade Show Las Vegas (Winter) as one of the busier convention weeks of the year: guest lists fill 24 to 48 hours before target nights, and cover charges at walk-up are higher than on a standard weekend.
