How to Get to Pack Expo Las Vegas

Parking

The LVCC has large surface lots and a parking garage surrounding the complex. Expect to pay $15–25 per day during major shows. Lots fill up fast — arrive before 9 AM or consider rideshare instead.

Public Transit / Monorail

The Las Vegas Monorail has a dedicated Convention Center station with direct service to Strip hotels from MGM Grand to the Sahara. A single ride is $5 and a full-day pass is $13. During peak convention hours the monorail is often faster than driving.

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

Uber and Lyft have a designated pickup and dropoff area on Convention Center Drive. Surge pricing is common during morning arrivals and evening departures — stagger your schedule to avoid the rush.

Walking from the Strip

The north end of the Las Vegas Strip is about a 15-minute walk from the LVCC. The monorail makes it easy to reach central and south Strip hotels in under 10 minutes.

Insider Tips

Pack Expo Las Vegas Tips for First-Timers

Pack Expo fills the entire LVCC. Download the Pack Expo app and plan your route by industry segment — food and beverage, pharma, general packaging — to use your time efficiently.
The live machinery demonstrations are the highlight. Packaging lines running at full speed on the show floor give you a real sense of speed, quality, and capability.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring hearing protection. Some of the machinery demos are loud, and you will walk 12,000 to 18,000 steps per day.
Schedule meetings with key exhibitors in advance. The most popular booth demos draw crowds — having a scheduled time ensures dedicated attention.
The Innovation Stage features short presentations on new technologies and trends. Check the schedule and attend a few between booth visits.
Bring a notebook and camera (or phone). You will want to document specs, configurations, and pricing for equipment you are evaluating.
