Expected to increase 50% from its previous edition, the September 22-24, 2010 edition of the Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show will return to North Hall 3 & 4 of the Las Vegas Convention Center with a wealth of new companies and top name manufacturers. As the show heads into its fifth year, steady growth and positive buzz have helped position it as the national event for the souvenir and resort industry.
The Fall 2010 edition will provide retailers with the most comprehensive selection of souvenir and resort products, including 450-plus companies showcasing destination, resort and tourist merchandise, souvenirs, t-shirts, beach items, coastal and nautical, lake, mountain and lodge, ski-themed products, destination, logo products, shell items, giftware, jewelry/fashion accessories, toys/games and more.
“As we enter our fifth year, the show has finally come into its own as the national resource for the souvenir and resort gift industry,” states Doug Miller, president, Urban Expositions. “For 2010, we’re bringing an unprecedented product selection together with unbelievable hotel rates for buyers – in an ideal trade show city packed with world class dining, top name entertainment and countless other attractions and events – to help secure the show’s position as the ‘must-attend’ event for the souvenir and resort gift industry. “Between the perfect timing and the wide variety of vendors, the Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show is a “must do, ” adds Buyer Bob Uffer General Manager, Evelyn Hill Inc. Statue of Liberty National Monument Liberty Island New York, NY.
“The Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show is fast becoming the retail show of the year,” adds Buyer ClayAnn Cook, Canyon Flight Training. “A must have in my travel budget, this show has allowed my company to eliminate many shows. Travel is less, lodging is less and food is less, therefore allowing us to bring several retail managers. The timing is great as it gives us a jump-start on the coming seasons. With the continual addition of new vendors and resources this is a must have for any retail operation in the country.
In addition to the tremendous selection, the highlights for the 2010 Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show include:
$15.99 Hotel Rates for Buyers: To help retailers keep those travel costs down, Urban Expositions has bought down rates to offer hotel rooms for buyers starting as low as $15.99 at the Tropicana Hotel, which has recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation.
