Cashman Center

Great place for the cliff keen wrestling tournament. Easy for the 10 mat set up. Wish for the finals they move the mats closer so they bleachers were closer.

I recently attended the Bridal Spectacular here, and have previously attended Pet Expo and other events. I really like this venue, because it’s spacious and allows for a lot of different vendors. It was really nicely set up for the Bridal Spectacular, so I don’t know if that says more about the venue or the folks who put on the vent, but either way I was impressed. Their parking is the only thing that bugs me. The fact that 1) most of the parking is uphill and 2) they rarely ever use the other ticket booth, irks me.
Overall, a decent place to go and attend an event.

I love coming to baseball games here at cashman. Had an awesome time at the club level restaurant for a work event tonite. The burgers and dogs and friend chicken were all standard ballgame fare and fit the bill perfectly. Cash bar was convienient. Made it a great way to enjoy the game and avoid a surprisingly muggy hot day in Vegas! Thanks Cashman! I’ll be back!

Usually when I come here its for a gun show but on this visit it was a dance recital, comparable, we shall say not. Some folks I know had their kids in this event so we went. My girlfriend and I really appreciate the arts so we did enjoy it. Lots of music and plenty of dance, all kinds. The center itself was well lit with a good sound system, plenty of parking.

LVL UP EXPO
I used GPS to get to the convention, because I never been before. The GPS was giving me the correct directions to the entrance, but they had all of them closed, but one. I had to circle around the block a few times to get in. Why the hell you have so many exits and entrances and only use one?
Parking was $ 4 soon as you pull in. They had no one directing traffic, so it was really hard just to get to a parking spot. You had so many cars and pedestrians in the way. I finally found a parking spot in the back of the building.
They had two events going on at the same time. A parenting convention, which was free and also the LVL UP Expo, which wasn’t. We had to pay $ 25 and up. There was no wall to block the different conventions.
So get this… I bet a lot of people got in for free because all you have to do is walked through the parenting convention right into the LVL. There is not enough security to check you for your badge. That is really awful that it could of been that easy. I’ve seen this so many times all over Vegas though. It’s never done right on the days of the shows, concerts, or conventions. There was not even a metal detector available. Just thought, you know… a lot of people with weapons walking around. are they fake or real? Yea.anyway.
They had some food inside and the rest were food trucks outside. The food inside was ice cream, and pretty much bar food, which was everything fried. Bathrooms were clean when I used one, so that’s a big plus.
They had free video games you could play, which was great, but you know some people don’t have manners and do not care if you are waiting. They just kept hitting restart button, after they died and continued playing, with a line behind them.
Everyone was super friendly and allowed you to take pictures of them or with them.
The panels were really unorganized, There was no one to guide you, to show you were lines were or answer any questions. They would tell you where you could not be, and make you move. You didn’t know who worked there or who was a customer. So everyone just stood in the hallways waiting for a door to open.
There were up and down’s about it, but if they had it again next year I would go. It is a great place to meet new people, that show the same interests.

Attended the home show this last weekend of Feb 2015… a major let down. Basically, the vendors present were selling spas. There were some expected vendors present… plumbing, HVAC, doors, etc but the Home Magazine delivered free to my mail box has a much better assortment. Net savins $ 8 per person. Cashmen Center staff were not friendly. Got shard responses to simple questions three times… one guy in a golf cart says «oh well» to no handicap parking. Paid for parking but could not locate a handicap spot. In fact, many of the handicap spots were temp converted to VIP parking (they bagged the signs). I think ADA regulations apply. The closest lot was filled by the vendors and staff making patrons park up the hill or around back at the ball field with no shuttle. Will not return regardless of the venue. Hopefully the LV 51s relocate as I enjoy the games but won’t support Cashman. Gosh… we’re in Vegas where we set the standard of the hospitality industry… Cashman must have missed the memo… maybe never signed up for the informatio.

Went to the body art expo. First off bring cash bc it’s cash only and the atm charged $ 6.00. The expo was not worth 20 bucks…

Cashman center. what can i say! its a Vegas staple and has been around longer than i can remember.
i attended the LV CLASSIC show & was shocked that clearly they have no social media manager to log the various events that take place there. making it easier to check in and post… but anyways… living in LV for 20 plus years. Im just glad its still there…& the staffers are quite pleasant.
my only suggestions for cashman center is to get with the program. venues with stages have a backstage. its elementary my dear. build one really also
wouldn’t hurt to freshen up the look aesthetically the building is a eye sore and that ticket box office out front of theatre is trully a blast from the past… not necessary.
HIRE a marketing/​social guru & get with the times :)

i come here every year for the shows that take place here. nice sized place for an event center.
the staff here that they always hire that are supposed volunteer staff arent the best. quite horrible i’d say. never help out and the security is even worse.
they have a big parking lot for trucks and trailers even have a place to put your trailer over night if your attending the event and have police on staff watching over the the lots 24 hours a day.
drinks and food are pretty expensive here but hey its an even center so it comes with the territory.

Not a bad venue for outdoor geared events, as long as the inside facilities are available for air conditioning (which worked nicely for us).
My big complaint is how far Cashman is from the strip. Unless prearrangements are made, you can easily get stranded here if you took a taxi from a hotel. We didn’t realize this as visitors who booked tickets to a show here months in advance and were caught off guard. We lucked out in that someone was being dropped off as we started to freak out about how we’d get back to the strip and how long it would take, but others were not so lucky.

VERY CLEAN! I was here for a high school robotics competition (as a chaperon). I was so impressed with the cleaning crew — they did not stop cleaning. They were constantly keeping the bathrooms and seating area spotless. The people were friendly. The facility is very large. There was an area set up in the front and «pits» set up in the back. I was impressed :)

I went to the LVL Up Expo this weekend, and I wasn’t super impressed.
The event itself was lame, but I wasn’t really impressed with the location.
first of all, paying to park is outdated, if you ask me. Had I known before, I would have found somewhere else to park and walked. Its only $ 4, which was good… but still, I find it a little ridiculous.
The venue itself is not inviting, its cold, its drab, and just looks like a big warehouse.

Spacious, making it perfect for events such as the Pet Expo!

There was Pet Expo last year with Shorty Rossi appearing, and, being a fan, I couldn’t miss this opportunity. We were at Main Street Station RV and only had our bikes. Luckily, it wasn’t too far of a bike ride. Free admission, this would be our first pet expo, which, of course, was mostly dogs. It was fun seeing the variety of breeds and sizes of dogs, all well behaved. Some cats in cages (the looked so sad). Many vendors. Shorty was promoting his book, signing autographs, taking donations. The only one from his show was Hercules. What a tame pittie! He looked so bored it was funny. But a beautiful dog, and loved by Shorty. Got to take a quick pic with him, he gave a talk about the myths of pit bulls. He is exactly like he is on his show! This was our experience at Cashman Center.

If you’ve ever attended events or conventions in other cities and then visited Cashman Center, you know the truth. It’s a dump. And a joke. Parking… you want me to pay $ 4 to park where? Really? And then there’s the venue itself… a tired, dated, needs a date with a bulldozer place that is depressing to enter no matter how exciting the event is inside. In a city known for it’s convention facilities Cashman Center is like the red headed stepchild of venues. Oh and it happens to have a stadium attached. Even the empty stadium on a cold January day looked more visually interesting then the convention center it’s attached to.
2 Stars. Fortunately for most Las Vegans this facility is tucked behind a hill and is not visible from the 515 so it stays out of sight which is a good thing.

I was here for Animé Vegas a couple weeks back. Obviously experiences here will depend on each particular event organizers, but I can talk about the venue a bit anyways.
I was disappointed they charged for parking. It was only $ 4, but it was unnecessary. When I think about it though, parking charges are always unnecessary. It just seemed silly to charge parking when only a third of the total lot was used. I wonder if the parking charge even covered the wages for the 10 or so parking attendants they used that day.
The food offered by venue was flat out disgusting. The normal stuff like burgers and nachos, but everything seemed cold and stale. I’m not asking for gourmet dinners, but this looked worse than what I used to eat from the elementary school cafeteria.
There is really only one entrance to the convention hall, which is either good or bad depending on how the convention organizers set things up.
In the upstairs meeting rooms area there was plenty of places to sit which was really nice.
Bathrooms were clean and functional.

Recently went to the Lowrider show this past weekend but any show or function at this venue is always well organized. One of the best locations to attend any event.

The Cashman Center is a great venue for things like craft shows, bridal spectaculars and even dance competitions… This time, it was the venue for the Grassroots Event with President Barack Obama. Las Vegas locals waited in anticipation to hear what the leader of our country had to say about this very important upcoming election, and his very strong possibility of four more years in office.
It was a pretty long wait (at least 2 hours) before the president arrived, and in the process, we were able to chat with actor Hawthorne James (Speed, The Five Heartbeats, The Color Purple, Amistad, etc.) which was pretty cool! The President basically repeated what he said at the Democratic National Convention in his short but sweet 30 minute speech, and before you know it, he was gone with the wind, off to his next stop… Also coming to the Cashman Center in October is the Lowrider Super Show, one of the nation’s biggest Car Shows… BE THERE… ALOHA!!!

Having a conference at the Cashman Center has the good and the bad. The facilities are nice. My problem is Aramark. First, you cannot bring in outside food. The Aramark food is extraordinarily expensive. $ 3 for a water bottle, $ 20 for 12 soft pretzels, etc. Then I was shorted a water bottle. I will make sure to utilize other options in the future.

I’ve been here several times for conventions and a job fair (in more recent years). The parking is good, if you get there at a good time. Otherwise, good luck. I don’t remember paying for parking. Yes, the building itself is a little old and could need some cosmetic work, too. That said, there are still so many events (crafts, jewelry, christmas, etc.) here, like the Bridal Spectacular twice a year– and since the hall is still being booked/​attended, how bad can it really be?
I remember the job fair the most since that was the most recent event. There were so many people, looking for a job, so it was literally, a sea of people. Some people were dressed like me, ready to interview, in dress pants and a nice button down shirt, groomed nicely and smiling. Others, were less than presentable, in shorts and t-​shirts, kinda like they rolled out of bed and just didn’t give a second thought to the appearance at all– but it’s nothing new here, some people are just so flaky and unreliable (I’ve seen some strange ones at my old work places through the years). The recruiters/​companies hiring were large companies– banks like Citi Group and US Bank, and the armed services were in full force too. The event was organized very well (you turned in a resume at the front, information was given to you about the event).
I can’t comment on the bathrooms because I just spent time in the convention hall. I also can’t comment on the refreshments because I didn’t notice any stands anywhere here.
