How full will Vegas be during WVC Vegas 2027?
Busy: expect firmer rates near the venue; book private dining and group blocks early.
WVC Vegas 2027 falls mostly in the week of Mar 1, 2027, which we rate Busy on trade-show attendance: about 57,370 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting WVC Vegas 2027 and 2 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
Overlapping shows
- ASD Market Week - March 2027 Mar 2-4, 2027 · LVCC · ~30,000
- AAOS 2027 Annual Meeting Mar 3-6, 2027 · Venetian Expo · ~13,420
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 WVC Vegas?
WVC Vegas is the WVC Annual Conference, run by the Viticus Group: veterinary continuing education (hundreds of RACE-approved CE hours), an exhibit hall with 600+ exhibitors, a keynote, and events such as a live concert and Party for a Purpose.
Who attends: Veterinarians, veterinary technicians and assistants, practice managers, staff and students. In 2026 that included 6,285 veterinarians and 4,300 technicians, assistants, practice managers, administrative staff and students, per Viticus Group.
Attendance trend: TSNN counted 20,696 for 2025; Viticus Group reports nearly 18,600 participants for 2026. The two use different counting methods, so this isn't a like-for-like decline. Attendance history.
When it usually happens
Late February to early March at Mandalay Bay, Sunday to Wednesday. WVC 2027 runs February 28 to March 3, overlapping ASD Market Week and AAOS.
Where to stay: nearby hotel clusters
