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!
New
Venue Offers Multi-faceted Convenience 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.
Hurry
Up and Make Plans for 2010 Show—No Kidding!  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.
