A wide variety of hotel rooms are available near the Mandalay Bay location of the National Industrial Fastener Show/West. The trade show will be November 3-4, 2009, with conferences and an opening reception on November 2.

Show management offered a $189 “special show rate” at Luxor but rooms are available for less online. Hotels.com offers Luxor at $76 Sunday night ($180 Saturday night). Mandalay Bay at the NIFS rate is $219. On Hotels.com it is $200 Saturday night and $220 Sunday.

Show management chose a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday schedule this year. That requires many to arrive Saturday traditionally a crowded and more expensive night in Las Vegas. Saturday night at 15 hotels in less than a mile from Mandalay Bay recently averaged $155 while Sunday night averaged $109.

The most number of fastener people in Las Vegas is likely to be Sunday night.
