Unlocking Las Vegas
Attending IMEX America unlocks endless opportunities explore the city of Las Vegas.
Whether you're looking for waterfront dining, the best place for sunset sundowners, or an opportunity to discover a different side of the city, your IMEX badge unlocks a range of exclusive perks through the Vegas Unlocked program.
From discounted tickets at Sphere Las Vegas and Michael Jackson ONE to savings at Allegiant Stadium, Atomic Golf and Play Playground, there are plenty of ways to experience more of Las Vegas.
Food lovers are most definitely in the right place. Las Vegas continues to strengthen its reputation as a global dining destination, with 24 restaurants earning distinctions in the 2026 Michelin Guide Southwest. You'll find options ranging from award-winning fine dining to local favorites.
Las Vegas is continuously evolving with fresh attractions, venues, and experiences. One of the latest additions is The Vanderpump Hotel, a reimagining of one of the Strip's boutique properties (home to MPI Rendezvous: The IMEX America Night). And on IMEXscoop’s must-do list is the new Museum of Ice Cream. Beyond the famous resorts and casinos, visitors can also explore neighborhoods such as the Arts District, where independent shops, galleries and local businesses offer a different perspective on the city.
Entertainment is of course one of Las Vegas' biggest draws, and IMEX week is packed with options. Music fans can catch performances by artists including Metallica, Lionel Richie, Tiësto and Chayanne. Sports enthusiasts can experience the excitement of an NBA matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors at T-Mobile Arena. Or those looking for a more relaxed evening can head to Fremont Street Experience and enjoy Downtown Rocks, the city's free concert series.
Although distances can sometimes be deceiving, getting around is straightforward, with a variety of transportation options connecting Mandalay Bay to the rest of the city. Taking the MGM tram from Mandalay to Excalibur and then continuing on foot is tried and tested IMEX team route, but there’s also rideshare services and even autonomous vehicle experiences.
