MJBizCon 2026: the week Las Vegas is doubled up
December 1-4, 2026 · Las Vegas Convention Center · 30,000 attendees · Cannabis
MJBizCon brings around 30,000 people to the Las Vegas Convention Center from December 1 to 4, and it shares the week with AWS re:Invent and its sixty thousand. That is ninety thousand people across two shows in one week, which is the single most important thing to know when booking anything. Our Las Vegas team books the dinners and the tables after them.
You are not the only show in town, and it matters
MJBizCon and AWS re:Invent occupy the same days. Ninety thousand people between them, at opposite ends of the Strip, competing for the same restaurants and the same tables on the same nights. Most MJBizCon planning ignores this and then discovers it on the Tuesday. Book earlier than the headcount suggests, because you are effectively booking into a ninety-thousand-person week rather than a thirty-thousand one.
When people are actually in town
Most of the floor lands on the Monday, with exhibitors in earlier to build stands. The show closes Friday and a large share flies home that afternoon, so Friday is optional even though it is the strongest night of the week on paper. Tuesday through Thursday is where the business happens.
Where to eat from the convention center
MJBizCon is at the LVCC on the north end, so Resorts World and Wynn are the closest properties worth booking. Carversteak at Resorts World seats a group properly and is the shortest walk of anything good. Fuhu is the louder room in the same building. Wynn adds SW Steakhouse and Delilah across the way, and Mizumi if the dinner wants quiet. Golden Steer off-Strip is the room people ask for by name and it takes a large table well.
Groups, and the cash question
Cannabis operators carry a reputation for high entertainment spend and it is largely earned, but the mechanics differ from a tech show: more of the spend lands on the group dinner and the table after it, less on a formal reception. The bookings we make most that week are private rooms for twenty to sixty and reserved nightclub sections. Larger buyouts we will place with the right room, and the budget is where to start.
If a nightclub is not the answer
Not everyone wants a main room, and it is worth saying so. If a club is the wrong register for the group, The Mayfair Supper Club turns dinner into the evening without anyone having to move. If you would rather have a speakeasy, a quiet cocktail room or somewhere we do not list, tell us the group and we will either hold the reservation or hand you the shortlist to take your clients around town yourself.
Where to eat, by where your day ends
Leaving the convention center — Resorts World is the shortest walk of anything good
Across at Wynn and Encore — worth the walk when the dinner matters
Worth the drive — old Vegas, and it takes a large table well

What is on at night during MJBizCon week?
Steve Aoki plays Omnia on the Tuesday and DJ Franzen is at Hakkasan on the Wednesday. Friday December 4 is the heaviest night, with Alesso at Omnia, Kaskade at XS and Knock2 at LIV, though most of the hall flies out that day. Lineups move, so check our Las Vegas events calendar.
