The best CES 2027 hotels are the ones on your daily route, not the ones with the best Strip address. CES runs Jan. 6–9, 2027, across 13 official venues in three campuses, and the free shuttles, the Vegas Loop and the Monorail each serve different hotels. Pick the campus first, then the hotel.

Quick answer

For the Las Vegas Convention Center, book Westgate (a 7-minute walk, with Monorail and Loop stations) or the Las Vegas Marriott, “steps away from the West Hall.” For the Venetian Expo and Eureka Park, stay at The Venetian or The Palazzo. For C Space, stay at ARIA. Book through onPeak, CES’s only official housing agent.

We checked CES’s hotel and transportation pages, its 2027 shuttle flyer and campus maps, the LVCVA, the Monorail and the Vegas Loop’s hours calendar on Nov. 4, 2026; fees and parking come from our October 2026 registry check. Our review method explains how we date facts.

What changed in 2026

  • January 2026: the LVCVA finished the convention center’s $600 million renovation.
  • Early 2026 and August 2026: Fontainebleau and SAHARA opened Vegas Loop stations, so five hotels now have Loop rides to the halls.
  • March 31, 2026: CTA’s audit counted 148,392 participants at CES 2026, up 4%.
  • Sept. 29, 2026: CES dated its 2027 shuttle flyer and campus maps: nine routes, with CES Foundry at Fontainebleau.
  • November 2026: CES lists 13 official venues, up from the 12 it listed in early October.

Where is CES 2027? The three campuses

CES’s 2027 maps group the show like this; older guides call the first two Tech East and Tech West.

CampusVenuesWhat’s there in 2027Hours
LVCC CampusLVCC West, North, Central and South halls; Westgate; CES Foundry at FontainebleauWest: vehicle tech. North: energy, IoT, enterprise and AI. Central: gaming, XR, audio and video. South: accessories, global pavilions, robotics. Foundry: AI and quantumExhibits Wed. 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Thu.–Fri. 9 a.m.–6 p.m., Sat. 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Foundry Wed.–Fri.

C Space CampusARIA East and West convention spaceAdvertising, marketing, media and contentTue.–Fri. 9 a.m.–6 p.m.; activations Wed.–Fri.

Media Days are Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 4–5, at Mandalay Bay, and the conference program opens Tuesday. CES’s 2027 maps call the convention center the “Las Vegas Convention and World Trade Center (LVCC).” Wynn and Encore aren’t 2027 venues, but both are badge-pickup and shuttle hotels.

Fees and parking are as of October 2026; prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

  • Westgate is the all-round pick: part of CES’s LVCC Campus, with Monorail and Loop stations on site and an 18+ check-in age. Budget for a $49.99 resort fee plus tax and self-parking that “varies,” per Westgate.
  • Las Vegas Marriott is all-suite and smoke-free, “directly across from the new West Hall,” per its listing.
  • The Paradise Road chains are the quiet, casino-free option. Hampton Inn & Suites is “steps away from” the halls and the Loop’s South station, the Residence Inn has the Monorail “right across the street,” and Embassy Suites runs a free hourly shuttle to the convention center (times subject to change).
  • Resorts World (Las Vegas Hilton, Conrad and Crockfords) is “across from the Las Vegas Convention Center” with a Loop station, but it’s off the CES shuttle routes and check-in is 21+.
  • Fontainebleau hosts CES Foundry, has a Loop station and is a badge-pickup site. Registered guests self-park free.
  • Encore and Wynn get shuttle Route 1 and Encore’s Loop station, and guests self-park free. Our guide to hotels near the Las Vegas Convention Center ranks every hotel by hall.

The Venetian and The Palazzo share a roof with the Expo, so you can reach Eureka Park in Hall G without going outside. Treasure Island connects by pedestrian bridge to The Palazzo and parks guests free; its Route 2 shuttle runs to the LVCC only. For C Space, ARIA is the venue; Vdara and Park MGM guests board Route 7 there, and Waldorf Astoria has a sky bridge to The Shops at Crystals, which leads to ARIA. Our guide to hotels near the Venetian Expo covers the walk from each hotel.

Free CES shuttles: which hotels they serve

CES runs complimentary shuttles Tuesday, Jan. 5, through Saturday, Jan. 9, and you need an official CES 2027 badge to board. At the LVCC, Routes 1–8 load in both the South Hall and West Hall bus areas; at the Venetian Expo, Routes 3–8 use the underground shuttle area.

Read the schedule before you pick a far-off hotel. Routes 1–6 and 8 run inbound 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. and outbound 4 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to Friday (2 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday), every 20 minutes, with no midday service. Only Route 7 adds midday buses, every 30 minutes, and on Tuesday all routes run 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Not on any route: Westgate, Resorts World, SAHARA, Fontainebleau (use the West Hall bus area), the Paradise Road chains and Caesars’ center-Strip hotels, though Horseshoe, Flamingo, Harrah’s and The LINQ have Monorail stations.

Rideshare pickup points CES lists

ARIA: lower level of the North Valet Lobby. Fontainebleau: South Valet. Venetian Expo: main porte cochère on Sands Avenue. The Venetian: the valet area in the parking garage. Westgate: Sportsbook Entrance.

Monorail. Buy CES’s discounted unlimited passes (up to seven days) in registration, and your badge works as the ticket. Trains run from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday, 2 a.m. Tuesday to Thursday and 3 a.m. Friday to Sunday. The Monorail opened at 6 a.m. for SEMA but hadn’t posted CES-week hours as of Nov. 4, and the convention center station has no customer service booth. Our Las Vegas Monorail guide lists every stop.

Vegas Loop. Rides between the five campus stations are free; off-campus trips need a ticket. Hotel stations normally run 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and opened at 6:15 a.m. during SEMA, but the Loop’s calendar ran only through Dec. 14 on Nov. 4, so check January hours. Our Vegas Loop guide has fares and stations.

Driving. There’s no public parking at the LVCC or the Venetian Expo during CES. If you’re bringing a car, SAHARA, Treasure Island, Wynn, Encore and Fontainebleau include guest parking; compare the rest in our Las Vegas parking fees guide.

When to book CES 2027 hotels, and how to avoid housing scams

CES says its hotel rates “will increase as January approaches, and some CES hotels sell out quickly.” CTA counted 148,392 participants at CES 2026, and the LVCVA put January 2026 convention attendance at 672,100, so expect CES week to cost far more than an ordinary January weeknight near the venues.

WhenWhat to do
Now (November 2026)Book through onPeak’s links on the CES hotels page or directly with a hotel; individual bookings cover up to 9 rooms
10 or more rooms a nightRequest an onPeak group block, and read our checklist for Las Vegas hotel room blocks
Before you payFind the cancellation deadline and deposit in your confirmation
Jan. 3–7Pick up your badge at Harry Reid’s Terminal 1 or 3 baggage claim, or at one of 10 hotels
Tue., Jan. 5Shuttles start, and the conference program and Media Day 2 run
Sat., Jan. 9The floor closes at 4 p.m.; CES’s $10 airport shuttle runs noon to 5 p.m.

onPeak promises adjustments “without penalty” and “book now, pay later,” but screenshot the terms on your own confirmation. Booking elsewhere? Choose a refundable rate and recheck prices in December; our guide to Las Vegas hotel cancellation policies explains what to record.

CES housing scams

CES warns that “hotel resellers or housing scammers frequently pose as official vendors offering websites and email addresses imitating CES.” If anyone else offers CES rooms, book through onPeak’s links or directly with the hotel instead, or confirm the reservation with the hotel yourself.

Hotel badge desks: ARIA, The Cosmopolitan, Encore, Excalibur, Fontainebleau, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, The Venetian, Westgate and Wynn. CES allows two small bags in the halls, so leave luggage at the hotel on checkout day.

Cheaper CES hotels: south Strip, Downtown and Paradise Road

Strip resorts near the CES venues charge resort fees of $49.95 to $55 plus tax a night, as of October 2026 (see our resort fee guide). Three ways to pay less:

  • South Strip on the Monorail. MGM Grand has a Monorail station and Route 3, and Excalibur and Luxor, both with $45 fees, share Route 8.
  • Downtown on Route 5. Circa, Fremont, Golden Nugget and Plaza share a shuttle stop at the Golden Nugget, and our Downtown Las Vegas hotels guide compares them. The catch: the Monorail doesn’t go Downtown, and Route 5 has no midday service Wednesday to Saturday, so you’re at the show until the afternoon runs.
  • Paradise Road chains. Trade a casino and pool scene for a walk to the halls and, at some, free breakfast.

FAQ

When is CES 2027, and what are the show hours?

CES 2027 runs Wednesday through Saturday, Jan. 6–9, 2027. Exhibits are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. C Space at ARIA runs Tuesday to Friday, CES Foundry at Fontainebleau Wednesday to Friday, and Media Days are Jan. 4–5 at Mandalay Bay.

Which hotels have free CES shuttles?

Wynn, Encore, Treasure Island, MGM Grand, New York-New York, The Signature, Mandalay Bay, W Las Vegas, Circa, Fremont, Golden Nugget, Plaza, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, ARIA, Park MGM, Vdara, Excalibur and Luxor, on Routes 1–8. Westgate, Resorts World, SAHARA and Fontainebleau aren’t on a route but use the Vegas Loop. You need an official CES 2027 badge to ride.

What is the official CES hotel booking site?

onPeak. CES calls it “the only official housing agent for CES 2027,” reached through the links on the CES hotels page. Book up to 9 rooms as an individual, or request a group block for 10 or more a night. CES says other resellers aren’t affiliated with it.

How do you get from the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Venetian Expo during CES?

Take the free Tech Express (Route 9). It runs every 10 minutes, boarding in the LVCC’s Central Plaza near the Monorail walkway and on Sands Avenue in front of the Venetian Expo. Service runs 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to Friday. The Monorail doesn’t serve the Venetian Expo.

What is the closest hotel to the Las Vegas Convention Center for CES?

None of the hotels we checked is attached to the halls. Westgate lists a 7-minute walk, has its own Monorail and Loop stations and is part of CES’s LVCC Campus. The Las Vegas Marriott sits “steps away from the West Hall,” and the Renaissance is beside the South Hall’s rideshare zone.

Is there parking at the convention center during CES?

No. CES says there’s no public parking at the LVCC or the Venetian Expo, and LVCC drop-off is limited to the S2, C5 and West Hall entrances. ADA parking is available at official CES hotels, first come, first served. Drivers should stay where guest parking is included, such as SAHARA, Wynn or Fontainebleau.

Before you travel, check CES’s transportation page for route changes and the Monorail’s convention page for service.
