CES 2027 runs from Wednesday 6 January to Saturday 9 January 2027, and for four days Las Vegas works like a single, very crowded campus. The show is spread across the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), the Venetian Expo and C Space at ARIA, with CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau, and the CTA's own audit put attendance at CES 2026 at 148,392 participants. Most of them try to move between the same three hubs at the same hours.
Elly8.net books CES transportation as a fixed-price plan: a chauffeur who meets you at Harry Reid International Airport, an hourly car that waits while you work the halls, and a car for the client dinner at the end of the day. Prices are published, all-in and the same during CES week as any other week, and the 24/7 desk stays on the booking from landing to departure.
How do you get around CES without waiting in line?
Book a chauffeured car by the hour for show days, so the same car and chauffeur wait for you at each venue instead of queuing for taxis or rideshare. Use the free CES shuttles for simple hotel-to-hall runs, and keep the hourly car for meetings across venues, off-Strip dinners and the airport.
CES is not hard because Las Vegas is large; it is hard because nearly 150,000 people share the same few curbs. The LVCC campus alone has the West, Central, North and South halls, the Venetian Expo is about 1.5 miles (2.5 km) away by road on Sands Avenue, and C Space is further down the Strip at ARIA. When the halls open at 9 or 10 in the morning and close at 6 in the evening, everyone moves at once.
A chauffeur on an hourly booking removes the three worst moments of the day: the morning curb outside the hotel, the midday hop between the LVCC and the Venetian, and the 6 p.m. exodus when taxi lines and app pickups stack up. The car stays close, you message the chauffeur when you are ready, and you walk to a vehicle that already knows your next address.
CES 2027 dates, venues and exhibit hours
The CTA's transportation flyer for CES 2027 lists the exhibit hours below. Plan cars around them, not around the clock.
| Day | LVCC and Venetian Expo | C Space at ARIA | CES Foundry at Fontainebleau |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday 6 January | 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Thursday 7 January | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Friday 8 January | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Saturday 9 January | 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. | not listed | not listed |
Media days, keynotes and private suites start earlier in the week, which is why the official shuttles run from Tuesday 5 January. Many exhibitors and executives arrive on Sunday or Monday, so the start of the week brings a heavy wave of arrivals into Harry Reid International Airport. Check the current schedule and venue list on the official CES website before you lock your bookings; the CTA marks its venue details as subject to change.
Arriving for CES: Harry Reid, Henderson Executive and North Las Vegas
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is about 9 miles (14 km) from the Strip, roughly 39 minutes on a clear road on our routing, and longer when the Strip is backed up. The airport's own guidance is simple: if you have arranged a car service in advance, your driver meets you in baggage claim. Elly8.net chauffeurs track your flight and meet you inside with a name board, with complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. Taxis queue outside baggage claim (Terminal 1 on the east side near doors 1 to 4, Terminal 3 on Level Zero near door 52), and app rides use marked areas inside the parking garages, Level 2 at Terminal 1 and the Valet Level at Terminal 3, according to Harry Reid International Airport.
Henderson Executive Airport (HND) and North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) handle private and corporate aircraft. HND is about 13 miles (21 km) from the Strip and VGT about 8 miles (13 km). For executives flying privately, the chauffeur meets the aircraft at the FBO and the bags go straight into the car; see private jet FBO transfers.
Fixed airport prices for CES week, per vehicle, all-in:
| Route | Business Sedan | Business SUV | Executive Sprinter |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAS to the Las Vegas Strip | US$125 | US$165 | US$325 |
| HND to the Las Vegas Strip | US$155 | US$205 | US$405 |
| VGT to the Las Vegas Strip | US$125 | US$165 | US$325 |
| By the hour, as directed (3-hour minimum) | US$95 per hour | US$120 per hour | US$190 per hour |
First Class sedans and SUVs are on the Las Vegas price list too, from US$200 to US$275 for the airport legs. Round trips between LAS and the Strip are priced from US$240 in a business sedan to US$620 in an Executive Sprinter. For how airport pickups work in detail, see airport transfers.
The CES day plan: an hourly car between the halls
The pattern that works for most executives is a car by the hour, booked for the show days, with the chauffeur holding nearby at each venue.
Morning. The car collects you at your hotel's driveway 30 to 45 minutes before your first meeting. That buffer matters during CES, when Strip porte-cocheres back up with shuttles and cars from the moment the first shuttle routes start at 7:30 a.m.
Midday. If your agenda crosses from the LVCC to the Venetian Expo or C Space at ARIA, the car takes you door to door and waits. The CES Tech Express shuttle also links the LVCC (Central Plaza near the monorail station) and the Venetian Expo (curbside on Sands Avenue) every 10 minutes, and it is a good free option when you are alone and on time. A chauffeur wins when you are hosting a client, carrying samples or switching between three venues in an afternoon.
Evening. At 6 p.m. the halls empty. Your car is already staged, and the next stop might be a steakhouse on the Strip, a private dinner in Summerlin or a hospitality suite in a hotel tower. Our hourly chauffeur service in Las Vegas is priced from US$95 per hour in a business sedan to US$190 in an Executive Sprinter, three hours minimum.
Longer days. If you need a car from breakfast to the last dinner, the packages are simpler. The full-day chauffeur (8 hours) is US$700 in a business sedan to US$1,400 in an Executive Sprinter, the evening out and event night package (5 hours) is US$475 to US$950, and the corporate roadshow day (10 hours) is US$855 to US$1,710. Our roadshow chauffeur page explains how a 10-hour day with several stops is scheduled.
Teams, booths and client groups: Sprinters and multi-car bookings
Exhibitors often move a booth team of eight to twelve people with bags and cases each morning and evening. An Executive Sprinter carries up to 12 passengers and is priced at US$325 from LAS to the Strip and US$190 per hour in town. For a delegation that splits during the day, book one Sprinter for the group runs and one or two sedans that follow individual meetings.
For a company sending several executives, a corporate account puts every ride on one monthly invoice with a booking reference per traveller. Event and travel agencies can book for clients through travel-agent accounts. For the wider approach to trade shows, see conference transportation and group transportation.
CES transport options compared honestly
There is no single right answer for CES. Here is how the options compare for a typical show day.
| Option | Cost | Best for | Weak point |
|---|---|---|---|
| CES hotel shuttles and Tech Express | Free with a CES badge | Solo attendees at official hotels, simple hall-to-hotel trips | Fixed routes and hours, badge required, crowded at opening and closing |
| CES airport shuttle | US$10 per person, one way | Solo travellers heading to LAS on Thursday to Saturday afternoons | Runs only from the LVCC and Venetian at set times |
| Las Vegas Monorail and Vegas Loop | Fares set by each operator | East-side hotels to the LVCC | The monorail runs behind the Strip; the Loop serves selected stations |
| Taxi or app ride | Metered or dynamic pricing | A one-off trip off-peak | Long lines and surge pricing at 6 p.m.; pickups only at designated zones |
| Elly8.net hourly chauffeur | From US$95 per hour, 3-hour minimum | Executives, hosts, groups, back-to-back meetings | Must be booked in advance; CES week books out early |
The CTA flyer lists free shuttles for badge holders from Tuesday 5 January to Saturday 9 January, from official hotels including Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Bellagio, ARIA, Wynn and several downtown properties, plus a paid airport shuttle at US$10 per person, one way, on Thursday and Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. The Las Vegas Monorail has a station at the LVCC, and the Vegas Loop has four LVCC stations linking the campus with Encore, Resorts World and the Westgate. If you are one person, badge in hand, staying at an official hotel, the shuttle may be all you need.
A pre-booked car makes sense when time is the scarce resource: a 2 p.m. meeting at the Venetian and a 3 p.m. at the LVCC, clients who should not stand in a taxi line, a team with cases and samples, or a budget that must be known in advance. There is no surge on a fixed price. For the general comparisons, see chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft and chauffeur vs taxi.
Dinners, parties and the rest of the week
CES evenings are as busy as the days. Brand parties, client dinners and private suites run across the Strip and beyond, and the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. window is the hardest time of the week to find a car. The CTA flyer also notes that the Vegas Golden Knights play at T-Mobile Arena during CES, on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 7 p.m., which adds a crowd to the south Strip on those nights.
The evening out and event night package is the simplest fix: one car and chauffeur for five hours, from US$475 in a business sedan. If your evening starts at a hall and ends in a hotel tower, tell the desk the order of stops and the chauffeur plans the drop-off points around them. The chauffeur follows local rules on drinks in vehicles; for planning the night itself, see event transportation.
If you stay on after the show, the signature Hoover Dam and Lake Mead day trip (6 hours) is US$525 in a business sedan to US$1,050 in an Executive Sprinter. Executives who continue to the West Coast or the desert can book a city-to-city car service to Los Angeles, Palm Springs or Phoenix.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a car service from Harry Reid airport to the Strip during CES?
The price does not change for CES. A Harry Reid International Airport transfer to the Las Vegas Strip is US$125 in a business sedan, US$165 in a business SUV and US$325 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in per vehicle, including the chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and meet and greet inside the terminal. Round trips start at US$240 in a business sedan.
Can a chauffeur wait for me at the LVCC while I walk the show?
Yes. Book by the hour, from US$95 per hour in a business sedan with a three-hour minimum, or take the 8-hour full-day package. The chauffeur holds as close as the venue and traffic officers allow, and you message when you are ready. Exact pickup points vary by hall and day, so the chauffeur confirms them by text.
Should I use the free CES shuttles instead?
If you travel alone, stay at an official CES hotel and keep to simple hotel-to-hall trips, the free shuttles are a good option and need only your badge. A chauffeur is better for meetings across several venues, client hosting, teams with cases, off-Strip dinners and airport runs outside the official shuttle hours.
When should I book CES transportation?
As early as possible. Las Vegas has a fixed number of chauffeured vehicles, and CES is one of the busiest weeks of its year. Book the airport legs and show days as soon as you have flights and an agenda. Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup, so an early booking carries little risk.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 72 hours before pickup and it is free. At 72 hours or less the fee is 10%, at 48 hours or less 50%, and at 24 hours or less, or a no-show, 100%. Refunds go back to the original card. Changes to times and addresses can be made through the 24/7 desk.
Can you move a booth team or a client group?
Yes. An Executive Sprinter carries up to 12 passengers with luggage and costs US$325 from LAS to the Strip or US$190 per hour in town. For larger teams, book several vehicles; the desk coordinates them under one reference, and corporate accounts can be invoiced monthly.
Do you pick up at private jet terminals?
Yes. Henderson Executive Airport and North Las Vegas Airport are both on the price list, from US$155 and US$125 respectively in a business sedan to the Strip. The chauffeur meets the aircraft at the FBO named in your booking, with flight tracking on the arrival.
Do you sign NDAs for product teams and launches?
Yes, on request. Chauffeurs are briefed only on what they need for the route, and the desk can sign a non-disclosure agreement for launches and confidential meetings. Elly8.net provides transportation, not security, so protective details should be arranged separately.
