Bar & Restaurant Expo returns to Las Vegas March 21-23, 2022. But this year, things are a little different. We’re coming back with a new name, a new brand, and new for 2022: a host hotel!
Bar & Restaurant Expo has partnered with SAHARA Las Vegas, turning them into the official host hotel of the show. What does that mean? It means the SAHARA Las Vegas is our official HQ during #BRE2022. Book your stay at the SAHARA Las Vegas to take advantage of tons of special incentives, including special rates, early entry into parties, and access to exclusive trainings. And, it’s super easy to get to the convention center from the hotel, so you don’t have to stress about finding taxis!
SAHARA Las Vegas is more than just a hotel. They have ten amazing restaurants to choose from, including BAZAAR Meat by JOSÉ ANDRÉS, a spa, gorgeous pools and it’s home to Magic Mike Live and The Eddie Griffin Experience, too.
Bar & Restaurant caught up with Tim McLucas, Vice President of Bar & Restaurant Group, to learn more about the host hotel activation.
What was the inspiration behind the host hotel idea?
Having an official host hotel provides enhanced value for participants by offering additional opportunities for attendees to meet, network and build relationships, separate to engagement at the convention center. Our goal as organizers of Bar & Restaurant Expo is to facilitate as many connections between buyers and sellers as possible, not just on the expo floor, but during the evenings, and in settings that are familiar to the audience we serve.
Las Vegas has a ton of great hotels, why did Bar & Restaurant Expo partner with SAHARA for this initiative?
The SAHARA offers an important combination of first-class amenities, accommodation, special rooms rates and proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center, which together, is key to creating the optimum guest experience. SAHARA offers a wide range of amazing bars, restaurants, entertainment options and indoor and outdoor spaces where attendees can meet in a unique setting; network, and relax after a busy day.
And finally, what can guests expect at the host hotel this year?
A unique experience of learning, excitement and fun! We have worked closely with SAHARA to present multiple learning and networking programs that attendees cannot access elsewhere including:
- Back of House Tours on Monday March 21 at Bazaar Meet by José Andrés (separate registration required)
- Mixology Training Classes on March 21 in the amazing Azilo Ultra Lounge (separate registration required)
- Opening Night Kick-off Party on March 21 at the brand new Azilo Pool – SAHARA hotel guests receive special early admission
- First Timers Happy Hour on March 22 at the Alexandria Roof Top Pool
