How full will Vegas be during RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo 2026?

Busy: expect firmer rates near the venue; book private dining and group blocks early.

RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo 2026 falls mostly in the week of Dec 7, 2026, which we rate Busy (leisure): about 20,679 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo 2026 and 7 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.

Not counted in the score: Cowboy Christmas 2026 (citywide, Dec 3-12, 2026); Wrangler National Finals Rodeo 2026 (citywide, Dec 3-12, 2026); Pokémon Las Vegas Regional Championships 2026 (citywide, Dec 4-6, 2026); World IBJJF No-Gi Championship 2026 (citywide, Dec 10-12, 2026); UFC 335 (T-Mobile Arena) (fight night, Dec 12, 2026). These events don’t add to the week score (their attendance isn’t comparable to trade-show badges), but expect extra hotel compression. Method.

Overlapping shows

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.
