After enduring a lackluster financial performance in 2025, Las Vegas resorts appear to be attempting to cash in on room rates for the first major convention of 2026 based on a survey conducted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

When CES opens in Las Vegas on Jan. 6, guests of local hotels and resorts will pay an average $262.14 a night for a room and $112.90 a night for a room in downtown Las Vegas.

Those averages were calculated following a survey conducted Dec. 24 of Las Vegas hotel rooms advertised on Hotels.com. The Review-Journal gathered room rates from 158 hotels, including 21 in downtown Las Vegas.
