How full will Vegas be during ICSC Las Vegas 2027?
Busy: expect firmer rates near the venue; book private dining and group blocks early.
ICSC Las Vegas 2027 falls mostly in the week of May 24, 2027, which we rate Busy: about 45,500 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting ICSC Las Vegas 2027 and 2 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
Overlapping shows
- Dell Technologies World 2027 May 24-27, 2027 · The Venetian (per third-party listings) · ~8,000
- Licensing Expo 2027 May 25-27, 2027 · Mandalay Bay Convention Center · ~12,500
Each Monday-Sunday week gets one score: the pro-rated attendance of every tracked trade show in town that week. The score sets the week label. A show carries the label of the week that holds most of its days (ties go to the busier week), and on a week page every show card carries that week’s label, so a tile and its week never disagree. Method.
