Pictured here is the lobby of the Park MGM, one of the hotels available at a guaranteed low rate through the SEMA Show Travel & Lodging Page.

The Travel & Lodging page on www.SEMAShow.com features a real-time listing of the hotel deals available for the 2018 SEMA Show. The page also offers information, such as price, location from the Las Vegas Convention Center and shuttle availability, to help Showgoers determine the hotel that best accommodates their needs.

Attendees and exhibitors booking through the SEMA Show housing partner receive guaranteed low rates on a wide range of hotel properties at locations on and off the Las Vegas Strip. Here are examples of the hotels available:

• Park MGM - Located 4.3 miles from the SEMA Show - $175 per night

Read more about the benefits of booking through the Show’s official housing provider.

Note: Attendees and exhibitors should be vigilant if approached by companies or services other than OnPeak that implies or claims to be an official housing provider of the SEMA Show. Management is aware of other housing companies and travel agencies that may be aggressively pursuing you or your company to book your guest rooms through their company at supposedly significant discounts.

Reservations made through an agency other than OnPeak are at your own risk. Exhibitors and attendees contacted by another housing company trying to sell hotel rooms should notify SEMA Show Management at 909-396-0289.

The purpose of the SEMA Show is to do business. Anything that gets in the way of that can be thought of as an obstruction, yet we all have to eat, especially since attending the SEMA Show can be a strenuous undertaking. It’s not unusual to walk many miles in a single day, so addressing the need to keep the fires burning without sacrificing too much floor time can be a challenge worthy of some consideration.

The U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed SEMA-supported legislation from U.S. Rep. Paul Cook (R-CA) that would permanently designate six existing OHV areas comprising 300,000 acres in San Bernardino County: Johnson Valley (expanded by 11,000 acres), Spangler Hills, El Mirage, Rasor, Dumont Dunes and Stoddard Valley.

While H.R. 857, the “California Off-Road Recreation and Conservation Act,” expands wilderness designations in the California desert, the bill prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from closing any roads or trails that are currently open for motorized recreational access. H.R. 857 already passed the U.S. House of Representatives in June and now awaits action on the U.S. Senate floor. The Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee also passed S. 32, the “California Desert Protection and Recreation Act,” which is Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) companion bill to H.R. 857.
