How full will Vegas be during MJBizCon 2026?
Packed: Strip rates typically spike. Book rooms 4-6 months out and lock private rooms early.
MJBizCon 2026 falls mostly in the week of Nov 30, 2026, which we rate Packed on trade-show attendance: about 89,999 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting MJBizCon 2026 and 2 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
Overlapping shows
- AWS re:Invent 2026 Nov 30 - Dec 4, 2026 · Multi-venue Strip campus (Venetian/Caesars Forum/MGM etc.) · ~60,000
- LDI 2026 (Live Design International) Dec 2-8, 2026 · LVCC West Hall · ~13,998
- Cowboy Christmas 2026 Dec 3-12, 2026 · LVCC South Halls · ~347,571 · citywide, not in score
- Wrangler National Finals Rodeo 2026 Dec 3-12, 2026 · Thomas & Mack Center · ~175,846 · citywide, not in score
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’s trade label. A trade show carries the trade label of the week that holds most of its days (ties go to the busier week), on every tile and page. A week’s headline label can be lifted by the leisure floor (“Busy (leisure)” or “Peak (leisure)”); trade-show tiles never inherit it. Method.

What is MJBizCon?
MJBizCon (the Marijuana Business Conference & Expo) is the cannabis industry's largest B2B trade show. It was founded in 2011 by Marijuana Business Daily and moved to Las Vegas in 2012. The expo floor is split into Cultivation, Retail, Manufacturing and Business Services areas, with pre-show forums and a multi-day conference.
Who attends: Cultivators, processors and manufacturers, dispensary and retail operators, brands, investors, policymakers and ancillary service providers.
Attendance trend: Organizers reported 20,000+ attendees and 1,000+ exhibitors for 2025; we have no verified figure for earlier years on file. Attendance history.
When it usually happens
Early December at the LVCC, in the same stretch as AWS re:Invent and the start of the National Finals Rodeo. MJBizCon 2026 runs Tuesday to Friday, December 1-4, overlapping re:Invent (Nov 30 to Dec 4) and the first days of NFR and Cowboy Christmas (from Dec 3), which makes it one of the year's tightest hotel weeks.
Where to stay: nearby hotel clusters
Las Vegas Convention Center: Westgate Las Vegas is next door, and the Renaissance Las Vegas is a short walk. On the north Strip, Resorts World and Wynn/Encore link to the halls by the Vegas Loop (stations at Resorts World, Encore and Westgate). The Las Vegas Monorail stops at the convention center and runs south along the east side of the Strip to the Harrah's/LINQ, Flamingo/Caesars, Horseshoe/Paris and MGM Grand stations.
