Las Vegas Ranks #1

Las Vegas tops the list of convention cities in new industry rankings according to Tradeshow Week magazine rankings. Orlando takes second and Chicago third in the rankings of cities who host the most and biggest conventions across the country, says Tradeshow Week magazine.

Rankings are determined by the number of large trade shows hosted by each city. The U.S. convention business is a billion dollar industry and there is intense competition among cities for a bigger share of it.

With Las Vegas topping the list, experts say this can only bolster the local economy and could even play a role in the local real estate market.
