Hotel Overview
Why Stay at Hotel Jefe for WasteExpo
Hotel Jefe at Ojos Locos is the first U.S. hotel-casino dedicated to celebrating Latino culture, located at 3227 Civic Center Dr in North Las Vegas — the rebranded and renovated successor to the former Lucky Club Casino & Hotel (rebranded 2023 as Ojos Locos Sports Cantina y Casino). The 82-room property centers around a 24-hour sports cantina and casino with 400+ slots, a dozen table games, a live sportsbook, Latin karaoke on weekends, and Lucy's Bar and Grill serving American comfort food around the clock. Palomino Club is approximately 2.5 miles south on Las Vegas Boulevard North, with Strip nightlife reachable in 15–20 minutes by rideshare.
Hotel Jefe at Ojos Locos is a budget-friendly choice that keeps you close to the action with a 2-star rating. It is 7 mi to LVCC from the Las Vegas Convention Center, making it a convenient base for WasteExpo attendees. Note that Hotel Jefe charges a TBD daily resort fee, which covers WiFi, fitness center, and pool access.
Hotel Jefe is best for: budget travelers, North Las Vegas, Latin culture events, sports betting, locals. Whether you are attending WasteExpo solo, with colleagues, or as part of a group, the combination of on-site amenities and proximity to nightlife makes it an excellent choice.
Outdoor swimming pool on-site After a full day at WasteExpo, the pool area is a great way to unwind before heading out to the clubs at night.
After Hours
After the Trade Show
The show floor closes, but Las Vegas is just getting started. Here are tips for making the most of your nights during WasteExpo.
Submit Guest List 48 Hours Minimum
Trade show crowds tend to book nightlife late — buyers finishing on the floor at 5 PM and deciding to go out that night. Front-run that congestion by submitting your NoCoverVegas guest list 48 hours before your target night. Text (725) 999-9293 with your group size, hotel, and preferred venue, and we will confirm by SMS before the show floor opens.
Dress Code: Trade Show → Nightclub
Going straight from the expo floor to a Strip nightclub is one of the most common convention-week mistakes. Leave the comfortable trade show shoes, badge lanyard, and branded tote at Hotel Jefe before heading out. Men need dress shoes and a collared shirt or blazer at minimum for venues like OMNIA, XS, and Marquee. Women should lean toward cocktail attire rather than daytime footwear.
Free Strip Club Limo from Hotel Jefe
Every strip club on our list provides complimentary limousine pickup directly from Hotel Jefe. No cover charge, no minimum spend — just submit the NoCoverVegas guest list and confirm your hotel. The limo dispatches within 20–30 minutes. For trade show groups, this is the most efficient after-hours logistics option: everyone meets at the hotel entrance, no rideshare coordination required.
Tuesday and Wednesday Are Sleeper Nights
Trade show crowds peak Thursday and Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday at the same venues deliver shorter waits, a more relaxed door, and easier access without the convention surge. If your show runs midweek, going out on Tuesday or Wednesday is the smartest move — the clubs are fully programmed and OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar is significantly less congested than the weekend peaks.
Insider Guide
WasteExpo at Hotel Jefe: What to Know
About WasteExpo. North America's largest solid waste, recycling, and sustainability trade show, featuring the latest equipment, services, and environmental solutions. WasteExpo is not in Las Vegas in 2026. Returns to Las Vegas May 3-6, 2027. Environmental industry professionals traveling to WasteExpo frequently visit Vegas for entertainment. The trade show draws around 14K industry professionals to Las Vegas Convention Center (returns 2027) each May, concentrated in the waste and recycling sector. Las Vegas venue operators recognize WasteExpo 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.
Hotel Jefe for WasteExpo industry professionals. Hotel Jefe at Ojos Locos is the first U.S. hotel-casino dedicated to celebrating Latino culture, located at 3227 Civic Center Dr in North Las Vegas — the rebranded and renovated successor to the former Lucky Club Casino & Hotel (rebranded 2023 as Ojos Locos Sports Cantina y Casino). The 82-room property centers around a 24-hour sports cantina and casino with 400+ slots, a dozen table games, a live sportsbook, Latin karaoke on weekends, and Lucy's Bar and Grill serving American comfort food around the clock. Palomino Club is approximately 2.5 miles south on Las Vegas Boulevard North, with Strip nightlife reachable in 15–20 minutes by rideshare. Hotel Jefe sits 7 mi to LVCC from Las Vegas Convention Center (returns 2027) — a standard 10-to-15-minute rideshare from the show floor without convention-week traffic. As a budget-tier option, Hotel Jefe attracts mid-level attendees and regional buyers attending WasteExpo. The TBD resort fee covers amenities including pool access, fitness facilities, and Wi-Fi.
Nearby nightclub access from Hotel Jefe. Hotel Jefe does not have a major nightclub on property, but its Strip location puts several top venues within reach. For WasteExpo groups, this still means one direct rideshare from the hotel without navigating the Strip on foot after a full day on the show floor. Guest list via NoCoverVegas is free at all of these venues — submit before the convention starts.
Pool parties during WasteExpo. WasteExpo in May means the full Las Vegas pool party circuit is running. Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, Marquee Dayclub, and TAO Beach operate Friday and Saturday from 11 AM. The typical WasteExpo schedule closes the show floor by 5 or 6 PM — making a post-convention Friday afternoon pool session logistically feasible. Hotel Jefe's own Outdoor swimming pool on-site provides a lower-key option for groups that prefer to stay on property. The closest dayclubs from Hotel Jefe: OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar. Guest list access keeps the cover charge off at all of them.
Strip clubs during WasteExpo from Hotel Jefe. Las Vegas strip clubs are the most convention-compatible late-night option because every major club — Sapphire, Hustler Club, Spearmint Rhino, and Peppermint Hippo — sends complimentary transportation directly to Hotel Jefe. No rideshare required, no cover charge, and a host at the door expecting your group by name. For WasteExpo groups with mixed preferences, Sapphire's 71,000-square-foot facility operates more like a nightclub — multiple bars, performance stages, and VIP sections that accommodate groups where not everyone is a strip club regular. The free limo from Hotel Jefe is available every night of WasteExpo week. Text (725) 999-9293 to confirm pickup.
