November 7, 8 & 9 - Veterans Day Weekend
Attention Drone Pilots – Plan Your Trip to Las Vegas!
Mark your calendar for November 7th–9th (with possible activities extending to the 10th and 11th) and make your way to Las Vegas for a weekend of drone events, community, and connection.
Now’s the time to lock in your flights and hotel. Click here for a list of nearby Hotels, RV Parks & Car Rentals
Las Vegas is always changing, and not every “deal” is a good one. If something sounds too good to be true — it probably is. Feel free to reach out if you want a second opinion; we’ve seen it all.
If you’re thinking about catching a show, grabbing a great dinner, or checking out a hockey game, booking ahead is always smart — weekends fill up fast in this town.
And to our local Las Vegas drone community — we appreciate you. It’s been great seeing our meetups grow. The faces are familiar, the conversations are sharper, and the footage keeps getting better.
See you in November. Let’s fly.
Making Your Adventure Seamless
Planning your trip to join us in Vegas should be as hassle-free as your flights will be. Here’s everything you need to know to make your experience smooth and enjoyable. From where you’ll stay to how you’ll explore, let’s get you prepared.
Comfort Meets Convenience with Your Stay in Vegas
We have a city with a range of hotels and places to stay. Last year many people took advantage of the many wide range of hotels and motels in our area. The Strip offers all kinds of different hotels and casinos, and there is also all kinds of smaller hotels slightly away from the Strip area. Our events are going to be in the Henderson area and there's also wonderful accommodations in Henderson and the Boulder City areas that would be just fantastic. You'll want to rent a vehicle and there's a lot of other reasons to rent vehicles here.
Getting Around and Navigating in Las Vegas and Henderson
Whether you’re flying in or driving, getting around is a breeze. We’re exploring options for group transportation to event locations and Car and SUV rentals discounts. Interested in sharing a ride? Let us know when you express your interest. There are multiple locations that you will want to be able to get to so renting a car or going together to rent a car has been a great idea in Las Vegas.
Beyond the Drone that Vegas Awaits
Your adventure doesn’t end with the last drone flight. From dazzling shows and gourmet dining to breathtaking natural wonders just a short drive away, there’s no shortage of ways to make your Vegas stay unforgettable. And one of the greatest sports teams in recorded recent history the Vegas Golden Knights. Last year we had a small group at the game that weekend.
