Las Vegas - What is happening in Vegas April 8-10? High airfares

What is going on in Vegas the weekend of April 8-10? Airfare is double.

I searched the weekend in lvcva.com to see if I'm missing anything obvious. There's an international security conference April 6-8 with 20K people, but that's before the weekend.

NAB 2011 - 85k people..

thanks matt, that explains it!

I tried getting a room at the Four Seasons a month ago for that same weekend and they were booked solid. That must be one of the biggest conventions of the year for Vegas.

Tip: When searching the LVCVA calendar, expand your search dates to cover one week before your proposed arrival date, to one week after your intended departure date (some shows have staggered dates).

And then there is Spring Break. Lots and lots of college students fro the next few weeks.

85k + 1. I just registered to be there for NAB 2011. Good times await, I hope.
