CES Week in Las Vegas

What to Expect

CES Week Nightlife Guide

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is the world’s largest tech convention and it takes over Las Vegas every January. Over 100,000 tech professionals flood the city, filling hotels and keeping nightclubs packed on weeknights that would normally be quiet. The convention runs during the day, but after hours the entire Strip lights up as companies host private parties, industry mixers, and VIP events at top venues. For nightlife, CES week is a goldmine — clubs run enhanced lineups to capture the corporate expense-account crowd, and the energy on the Strip is comparable to a holiday weekend.
