The Las Vegas Reptile Expo is back on May 19-20, 2012 in fabulous Las Vegas NV! Located at the Santa Fe Station in Northwest Las Vegas, the expo brings in vendors from California to Florida. An all-in-one hotel and show venue means you can eat, sleep and entertain yourself all at the same venue as the show. Of course, there will be lots of chameleons there!

Tickets to the Expo are available at the door, or can be pre-purchased at a discounted rate through the show website (http://www.GetReptiles.com).
VIP passes allow the purchaser access into the show an hour early both Saturday and Sunday. If you are looking to get first choice on a very specific animal, this is a good way to ensure that you skip the lines and get to the animal before someone else does.
Parking is free all weekend at the Santa Fe. If you are staying at the hotel, you won’t need to move your car between Friday night and Sunday evening.
Animals are not to be brought into the show by the public. With the Santa Fe Hotel & Casino, we have worked out a “one way rule,” where animals are only to go one way, which is out. Expo attendees are encouraged to leave the property promptly after purchasing any live animals.
