Overview
What Nightlife Is Like During CHAMPS Trade Show Las Vegas (Winter)
CHAMPS Trade Show Las Vegas (Winter) is one of the biggest events on the Las Vegas calendar, drawing over 15,000 attendees to the city each year during December. 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 Around

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.
