	The Cosmopolitan is one of several five-star hotels available for the 2014 SEMA Show.

With less than two months remaining before the opening of the 2014 SEMA Show, hotels are filling quickly. Showgoers are encouraged to make reservations soon to ensure that their hotel accommodations for the week of the Show are secured. Book hotel rooms through the SEMA Show Travel & Lodging page online.  

SEMA Show Management works with Travel Planners—the SEMA Show's official housing company—to ensure Showgoers enjoy guaranteed low rates at the most popular hotels, some with discounted or no resort fees. Book your rooms online through SEMA Housing Services today, or call 212-532-1660 (Monday–Friday, from 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. [EDT]).

Travel Planners is the only official housing company associated with the 2014 SEMA Show.

Entering into financial agreements with such companies can have costly consequences.
