TIP: If you arrive late at night, you might want to thoroughly check that the air conditioning is working in your car.

Last month I arrived at midnight and drove off in my assigned MX3 - the next morning when the temp was already at 100 F, I discovered that the a/c was essentially non-functional. 90 minutes wasted at the car rental center exchanging for a car with working a/c

The convention calendar shows only two shows with a combined attendance of 34,000 - just a guess, but it might be that, in mid-July, they get a larger number of overseas visitors who are planning driving excursions (Grand Canyon, etc) as opposed to domestic travelers who are more Strip-centric (not planning out of town trips).
