Due to factors beyond our control, the costs associated with putting on a trade show of SHOT’s magnitude have increased (as have the costs of doing most things these days). Also, as you may know, revenue generated from the SHOT Show directly supports all that NSSF does as your industry’s trade association—from advocating on behalf of the industry in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals nationwide to providing compliance education, industry research, firearm safety programs and so much more. Additionally, NSSF’s #GUNVOTE effort needs more funding than ever before to ensure a bright future for our industry.
The SHOT Show is a trade only event. Attendance is RESTRICTED to the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products and services ONLY. The show is not open to the public, and NO one under age 16 shall be admitted (including infants).
The SHOT Show requires individual unique email addresses for attendees, exhibiting personnel and media.
The reasons for this are:
- Using a unique email address will allow each SHOT Show badge holder to utilize and customize the online show planner and the show's mobile app.
- All attendees will be able to receive timely SHOT Show information and communications.
- Finally, the use of unique email addresses will help us in identifying non-qualified attendees.
With your help, we can ensure that all exhibitors and attendees receive all the information they need, are able to utilize the show planner to its fullest and help us in our continued efforts to ensure the SHOT Show remains a trade-only event with qualified attendees and exhibiting personnel.

NO one under the age of 16 admitted (including infants). This policy applies to all show attendees including attendees, exhibitors and media. Daycare is not provided.
Anyone can bring a spouse. The spouse can be registered during the registration process or you can log back into your dashboard and click on ADD SPOUSE.
Show policy requires that proper identification be provided to be approved for attendance to the SHOT Show. Documentation is used to demonstrate that both the company and the individual trying to register is currently active in the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade industries, or has a commercial involvement in the military, law enforcement or tactical markets.
We do not mail badges. All badges will be picked up onsite at one of our onsite pickup locations. There are locations throughout the city as well as 24-hour registration at the Venetian Resort.
New this year due to SHOT Show security, each registrant must pick up their own badge. No one will be able to pick up another person's badge.

Your badge is your credential to attend the SHOT Show. In order to remove any possibility for badge duplication, we must follow this policy. It is in everyone's best interest to limit attendees to only one badge. You will be charged a $200 replacement fee to replace a lost or stolen badge.
NO personal firearms or ammunition allowed. Only firearms on display by exhibitors whose firing pins have been removed (and have been inspected by SHOT Show Safety Advisors) will be permitted on the show floor.
You can register within the SHOT Show's official housing block after you register. You will want to be sure that your registration is approved prior to making travel reservations. You can use the housing link after you complete your registration or by clicking on the housing link found on your approval confirmation. You can also go to the Hotels page found on the show website.
If your application to attend the show was declined, it may be because you did not provide the documentation required or it was determined that you do not demonstrate the required professional affiliation. View a list of acceptable forms of documentation. This list provides details of ways in which you can demonstrate eligibility to attend.

Please note, NSSF reserves the right to deny registration to any individual. Your attempt to register is an application to attend, not a confirmation that you are approved.
NO animals except for properly identified on-duty ADA recognized service animals.
First and foremost, being located on The Strip, many SHOT Show attendees will be within a 10-minute walk of the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum. In addition, we'll have shuttle buses running from partner hotels, the monorail, and UBER and LYFT are now available in Las Vegas as another option.
As is now found throughout Las Vegas and in major cities all around the country, paid parking is prevalent and Venetian Resort is no different. Unfortunately, SHOT Show does not validate for parking at the Venetian Resort. However, please know that local residents in Las Vegas do get up to 3 hours free at the Venetian Resort when presenting their local identification at the parking kiosks.
