Circus Circus is offering rates of $97 per night for SEMA Showgoers.

With the 2018 SEMA Show a little more than two months away, Showgoers who have not yet secured hotel rooms can take advantage of exclusive rates and special services through the official SEMA Show housing partner, OnPeak. Low rates are negotiated by SEMA Show management and are guaranteed, which means that exhibitors and attendees can be confident that they’ll receive the lowest rates, and locate a hotel that best suits their needs throughout the Show.

Here is an example of three hotels that accommodate a range of budgets and amenities.

• Circus Circus - Current Rate: $97 per night
• Paris Las Vegas - Current Rate: $204 per night
• The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino - Current Rate: $360 per night

Visit www.SEMAShow.com/travel for a list of all of the hotels available. Companies are encouraged to make hotel reservations now as space is limited, and rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The official SEMA Show housing partner is OnPeak. Exhibitors and attendees are encouraged to be vigilant if contacted companies that imply or claim to be a housing provider for AAPEX and SEMA. Show management is aware that other housing companies or travel agencies may be contacting companies to book rooms for them. OnPeak, AAPEX and SEMA do not have any affiliation with these organizations.
