Survey results get respondents what they wished for

Answers to the SHOT Show ® survey made clear the preferences of exhibitors and attendees, and the 2010 SHOT Show ® addresses those preferences:

Question 1:
What month(s) would you prefer to see the SHOT Show?

No. 1 Answer: January

Question 2:
The SHOT Show ® is a very large event that can be housed only in a number of locations. Which locations would you prefer?

No. 1 Answer: Las Vegas

Las Vegas provides a convenient travel destination for many, as well as offering exciting entertainment alternatives. SHOT Show ® management has responded to the request for the show to be held in Las Vegas, and a location, right on the strip, will serve as the site of not only the SHOT Show ® in January 2010, but dates have been locked in for the 2011 and 2012 editions as well.

The SHOT Show ® survey that is posted at the SHOT Show ® Web site after each annual edition provides an excellent opportunity for participants to express their opinions. YOUR opinion matters. Whether you are an exhibitor, attendee, member of the press, a guest of the show or another participant, the SHOT Show ® is YOUR show!

To find a Las Vegas location at which to stage the largest event in the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade in January, when exhibitors and attendees, as well as the largest gathering of outdoor media in the world, can jump-start their business year, SHOT Show ® management has tapped into a new venue for 2010 -- the Sands Expo/Venetian/Palazzo Resort and Casino, often referred to as the MegaCenter.

Located on the Strip, in walking distance of major resorts, restaurants and attractions, the MegaCenter utilizes space offered in the contiguous Venetian, Sands Expo and Palazzo.

Ever sit in a taxi in Las Vegas, on the way to a restaurant for supper, stalled in traffic, and helplessly watch the escalating prices speed through the meter? Now you can be right where the action is and even make taxi rides unnecessary.

Not only does the new location offer convenience and the capacity to house the SHOT Show, but the January dates -- 19-22 -- also allow an early kick-off to the new-products year. Furthermore, those dates, which fall on Tuesday through Friday, allow retailers to miss minimal weekend time from the business, which for many stores are the days of heaviest traffic.

Make the most of the convenience of this location by locking in nearby lodging at the lowest rates available now. Don't hesitate -- visit the SHOT Show ® Travel Desk.

January 19-22, 2010, seems many months away, but securing hotel reservations is something you might want to take care of right now.

The SHOT Show ® Travel Desk is in operation, currently accepting reservations and ready to help you select the best lodging and travel opportunities in Las Vegas that will put you where you want to be at the lowest rates available. However, prime hotel locations in proximity to the MegaCenter, the sparkling new venue for the SHOT Show, are filling up quickly. In fact, many of the blocs of rooms have already been booked, and some hotels are no longer available.

While SHOT Show ® management continues to work to free up even more hotel rooms at the gambling Mecca, your best bet is to make your reservations now.

Of course, arranging flights, reserving rental cars and meeting other travel needs are also services provided by the SHOT Show ® Travel Desk. Make your plans now, and be ahead of the game.
