Badge Pickup & Show Hours
Badge Pickup
Registration and badge pickup is located in the Venetian Expo main lobby. Pre-registered attendees can use express kiosks with their confirmation QR code. On-site registration is available but expect longer waits, especially Monday morning. Badge pickup typically opens the Sunday afternoon before the conference — take advantage of this to avoid the Monday rush.
Show Floor Hours
Quick Tips for First-Timers
- HIMSS is massive. Use the official HIMSS app to build your schedule, bookmark exhibitors, and navigate the floor plan before you arrive.
- Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable. The Venetian Expo and the walk from Strip hotels add up to serious mileage.
- Bring plenty of business cards. HIMSS is one of the best networking events in healthcare IT, and face-to-face introductions still matter.
- The exhibit hall is overwhelming. Prioritize your must-see vendors and schedule meetings in advance through the HIMSS app.
Getting There
How to Get to HIMSS Global Health Conference
Parking
Use The Venetian parking garage for Venetian Expo or park at Harrah's / The LINQ for Caesars Forum. Self-parking is typically $15–20 during conventions.
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Rideshare pickup and dropoff is available at both The Venetian and LINQ entrances on Las Vegas Blvd.
Public Transit / Monorail
Both venues are near the Harrah's / The LINQ monorail station. The Venetian Expo connects to The Venetian hotel and Caesars Forum connects to the Harrah's / LINQ / Flamingo complex.
Walking from the Strip
Both venues are right on the Strip. The walk between the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum takes about 12–15 minutes along the Strip or through connected hotel walkways.
Vegas After Hours
Nightlife During HIMSS Global Health Conference
When 45,000 convention attendees descend on Las Vegas for HIMSS Global Health Conference, the nightlife scene shifts into a higher gear. The Strip's biggest clubs extend their lineups, book marquee DJs, and host industry-specific after-parties to capture the surge. Expect longer peak hours, busier dance floors, and an electric atmosphere that feeds off the energy of the convention crowd. Whether your group is celebrating a successful day of meetings or just looking to unwind, you will find every style of nightlife within minutes of your hotel.
Convention weeks create a unique dynamic in Vegas. The typical weekend tourist crowd blends with professionals who are in town on expense accounts and looking to make the most of their evenings. Bottle service tables sell out faster than usual, especially at venues like XS, OMNIA, and Marquee. If VIP seating is on your radar, booking early is strongly recommended. For everyone else, the guest list is the smartest move — it guarantees free entry and lets you skip the general-admission line that grows significantly during major convention weeks.
The best part of going out during HIMSS Global Health Conference is the social element. You will run into colleagues, competitors, and new contacts on the dance floor. Some of the most productive conversations at any convention happen after midnight over cocktails, not on the show floor. Strip clubs like Sapphire and Crazy Horse III are also extremely popular with convention groups — free guest list from your hotel and no cover through our guest list make it an easy choice for groups of any size.
After the Show
HIMSS Global Health Conference After Dark — Nightlife Picks

Nightclub
A 15-minute walk south to Caesars Palace. The multi-level club with terrace views of the Strip is perfect for a group dinner-and-club night.

Make the Most of Your Trip
Insider Tips for HIMSS Global Health Conference Attendees
Balance Your Schedule
Convention days are long and draining. If you plan to go out at night, map out which sessions and booths are must-sees so you can leave the show floor by late afternoon. A short break at your hotel between the convention and dinner makes a massive difference in your energy level for the evening ahead.
Pick the Right Nights
The first night of HIMSS Global Health Conference is usually the wildest — everyone has just arrived and the excitement is high. The final night tends to be more relaxed as attendees pack and prepare for early flights. For the best club lineups, Friday and Saturday nights always deliver regardless of the convention calendar.
Recovery Game Plan
Hydration is everything in the desert. Keep a water bottle on you during the convention and match every cocktail with a glass of water at night. Order room service breakfast or grab a quick bite at your hotel before heading to the venue — skipping breakfast after a late night is a recipe for a miserable afternoon on the show floor.
Book as a Group
Heading out with colleagues or clients? Larger groups get better treatment at every venue in Las Vegas. When you sign up for the guest list, include your full group count so we can arrange a ride that fits everyone and ensure your party walks in together. Groups of six or more can often request reserved seating at no extra cost.
Pool Parties During HIMSS Global Health Conference
Convention sessions typically wrap by 5 PM. That leaves the perfect window for a pool party before dinner. Las Vegas dayclubs operate March through October with free guest list entry — a popular choice for networking or blowing off steam after a full day of sessions and exhibits.
