How full will Vegas be during NBAA-BACE 2026?
Packed: Strip rates typically spike. Book rooms 4-6 months out and lock private rooms early.
NBAA-BACE 2026 falls mostly in the week of Oct 19, 2026, which we rate Packed on trade-show attendance: about 65,450 trade-show attendees in town (pro-rated), counting NBAA-BACE 2026 and 3 other tracked shows that overlap its dates.
Overlapping shows
- Money20/20 USA 2026 Oct 18-21, 2026 · Venetian Expo (The Venetian) · ~11,000
- HR Technology Conference 2026 Oct 20-22, 2026 · Mandalay Bay Convention Center · ~7,200
- FABTECH 2026 Oct 21-23, 2026 · LVCC · ~31,000
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.
