Everything you need to plan CES Las Vegas
CES (Consumer Electronics Show) takes over the Las Vegas Convention Center + Strip venues each January, with hotel prices triple normal rates ($1000+/night common). Vegas RV park = $80/night, 15 min from Strip. Sam's Town RV Park is the closest reliable full-hookup option (Boulder Highway, 15 min east via I-515). Las Vegas KOA Resort is south of the Strip. The transit play is Monorail Convention Center stop drops you at LVCC West Hall — leave rig at Sam's Town, take Boulder Highway → MGM Grand → monorail. Vegas January nights 35F — winterized rig + 2x propane preferred.
