How to Get to World of Asphalt
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.

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.

Insider Tips
World of Asphalt Tips for First-Timers
- Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. The show floor is large and outdoor demo areas may involve uneven surfaces.
- Attend the live equipment demonstrations. Seeing pavers, compactors, and material handling equipment in action is far more valuable than reading a spec sheet.
- Download the show app or grab a floor map at registration. Plan your route to hit priority booths first before the crowds build.
- Bring business cards. World of Asphalt is an industry gathering where relationships drive business — face-to-face networking is the entire point.
- Check the AGG1 education schedule. The aggregates sessions run concurrently and your badge grants access to both shows.
- Pack layers. Las Vegas in March can be warm during the day but cool in the mornings and evenings. The convention center air conditioning can be aggressive.
