Dozens of conventions and business gatherings in Las Vegas have new dates in late 2021 or 2022.
Conventions
As Las Vegas saw early on with the return of leisure travelers following pent up demand after many not traveling for several months, the business side is starting to mimic that behavior in Southern Nevada, Harvey noted.
The event always is a highlight for many of the attendees. This year, however, was a little more special, given how the world has changed since the pandemic began.
Fashion industry members looking to buy and sell 2022’s latest trends returned to the Las Vegas Convention Center on Monday for the MAGIC show.
The fashion industry — from wholesalers to retail buyers — will be flocking to the Las Vegas Convention Center on Monday for the start of MAGIC Las Vegas, the biannual trade show.

Cement masons, engineers and artisans at World of Concrete encouraged more women to consider the trades for their unique work and good wages.
“Businesses of the buyers are just off the charts good and they need inventory. They need new merchandise,” Bob Maricich, CEO of International Market Centers, said of the home furnishings show.
Vendors showed off the latest and greatest in sports merchandise and tailgating accessories Wednesday, highlighted by a custom $30,000 Raiders watch.
