I've been to the SEMA show the last nine years as an exhibitor. The show is awesome and will take you two days to really walk all of it. Here's a few tips. Wednesday and Thursday are the most crowded days but the best. Lots of celebrities signing autographs - tons of NASCAR drivers. The cars are unbelievable! There will be several trick fits there so take your digital camera. Park in the gold lot across Paradise Rd from the convention center - it's $5 a day with no in/out. Cafeteria type food is available throughout the show and is expensive - about twelve bucks for burger, chips and coke. Hotels - most of the strip is sold out for SEMA. Go west of I-15 and check out some of the locals. Kind of a dump is the Gold Coast but we've gotten rooms there as low as $39. It's right across the street from the Rio - a great suites hotel casino if you can get in - they have the best seafood bufet in town. Also, check out the plain jane hotels on Paradise Rd just south of the convention center near the Hard Rock casino. I've stayed at Candlewood Suites there for $79. On the other hand, also stayed at NYNY on the strip for $99. Most shows are great but pricey. For good food near the show, try the Gordon Bersch Brewery on Paradise. For about $15 try the meatloaf and a cold microbrew. Have fun. You'll go back every year once you've been! Post your pics when you get back!!!!
