“Inside, The Venetian Expo is massive, beautiful, and highly impressive. However, the venue logistics present a major challenge during large conferences. The building occupies an entire city block, but public entry is heavily restricted to one side. I had to walk outside for over 10 minutes in grueling 115°F early August heat just to get around the building to the entrance. Once inside, the walking distance between session rooms is exhausting.

“The last time I was at the Venetian Expo was to attend the AAPEX show. The indoor showrooms are very comfortable, with good air conditioning that works very well. The information and direction are clearly marked. I enjoyed my time in there, checked out all the information about the manufacturers, and talked to the representative in the showroom. The Venetian Expo is a perfect place to attend an event or show.”
“It's great. I was at a conference. Very busy. If you don't want to walk around the conference cuz there's a lot of people, you can rent a scooter from the hotel which is fun to do for $75 for 2 days and you get it at front desk at the baggage claim area”

It was kind of nice to walk through and see so many early-stage innovators showcasing fresh ideas, new technologies, and creative solutions. The atmosphere felt more intimate and approachable compared to the larger halls, making it easier to have real conversations with founders and teams. Overall, it was a great space to discover new concepts…”
