Las Vegas isn't just the entertainment capital of the world — it's quietly become one of the best cities in the US for coin shows. Thanks largely to CK Shows, Vegas hosts multiple major numismatic events throughout the year at the Tuscany Suites and Casino, with free admission on most of them. Add in the PCGS Trade & Grade Showcase at the MGM Grand and Reno's annual show, and Nevada punches way above its weight for a state its size.
What I love about the Vegas coin show scene is the accessibility. Nearly every show offers free admission with registration, the Tuscany is a comfortable and dealer-friendly venue, and the fact that you're in Las Vegas means you can combine a coin show trip with... well, everything else Vegas has to offer. It's a great excuse for a weekend trip.
Spring: April 2-4, 2026 | Summer: June 25-27, 2026 | Fall: October 29-31, 2026 Venue: Tuscany Suites and Casino, Las Vegas, NV Admission: Free with registration Hours: Thursday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am-5pm
The Vegas National is the marquee coin show series in Las Vegas, produced by CK Shows. Running three times a year at the Tuscany Suites, these three-day events draw dealers from across the country. The free admission (with registration) makes them incredibly accessible, and the Tuscany's convention space is well-suited for a large bourse floor. If you can only make one Vegas coin show, pick the fall edition — dealer inventory tends to be strongest heading into the holiday season. View all Nevada shows →

The LVNS shows run alongside (and sometimes concurrently with) the Vegas National events, also at the Tuscany. They're produced by CK Shows and share a similar format. The July/August summer edition fills a gap in the calendar nicely when other shows slow down due to heat.
Dates: August 7-8, 2026 Venue: Tuscany Suites and Casino, Las Vegas, NV Admission: Free with registration Hours: Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am-5pm (No Sunday hours)
As the name suggests, this two-day show is aimed at the local Vegas collecting community. It's smaller and more intimate than the Nationals, which can actually be an advantage — you get more face time with dealers and less competition for the good stuff.
Dates: July 17-18, 2026 Venue: J Resort (formerly the Sands Regency), Reno, NV Admission: $5 general admission ($1 off coupon on website); Kids 12 and under free Hours: Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am-4pm
Reno's annual coin show is the only major numismatic event in Northern Nevada. Held at the J Resort (which many longtime collectors still know as the Sands Regency), it draws dealers from across the Western US. At $5 admission (with a $1 discount coupon available on their website), it's affordable and well-run.
Dates: December 9-11, 2026 Venue: MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV
The PCGS Trade & Grade Showcase at the MGM Grand is a unique event that combines a traditional coin show with on-site PCGS grading services. If you've been sitting on raw coins that need professional grading, this is the place to bring them. The MGM Grand venue adds a touch of Vegas glamour to the numismatic world.
Free flights and cheap hotels. Vegas comp culture means collectors can often find incredible travel deals, especially midweek when most shows start (Thursday).
No state income tax. Nevada doesn't charge state income tax, and while sales tax applies to purchases, many dealer-to-collector transactions at shows operate on a cash basis.
Year-round schedule. With shows in April, June, July, August, October, and December, there's rarely more than a two-month gap between Vegas coin events.
Entertainment options. Let's be honest — not everyone in your travel party may want to spend three days looking at coins. Vegas solves that problem.
Register in advance. Most CK Shows events are free but require registration. Do it online before you go to skip the line.
Stay at the Tuscany. If you're attending a Tuscany-based show, staying at the hotel means you can take breaks, store purchases in your room, and avoid parking hassles.
Bring a rolling bag. If you're buying in bulk or bringing coins to sell, a rolling bag or cart saves your back and your arms.
Hydrate. Vegas is a desert. The convention floors are air-conditioned, but the dry air will dehydrate you faster than you think.
Are Las Vegas coin shows free? Most of them, yes. The CK Shows events at the Tuscany Suites (Vegas National, LVNS shows, Locals Show) all offer free admission with online registration. The Reno show charges $5 (with a $1 coupon available), and the PCGS Showcase pricing varies.
How many coin shows are in Las Vegas each year? Las Vegas hosts approximately 7-8 major coin shows per year, mostly at the Tuscany Suites and Casino. Including the PCGS Showcase at the MGM Grand, there are shows in April, June, July, August, October, and December.
What is the biggest coin show in Nevada? The Vegas National shows (spring, summer, and fall) at the Tuscany Suites are the largest, drawing national-level dealers and collectors. The PCGS Trade & Grade Showcase at the MGM Grand is also significant due to its grading services component.
Where is the Tuscany Suites and Casino? The Tuscany is located at 255 E Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89169 — just east of the Strip near the Westin and close to Harry Reid International Airport. It has free parking and a comfortable convention center.
Is there a coin show in Reno? Yes — THE Reno Coin Show takes place annually in July at the J Resort (formerly Sands Regency). It's the only major numismatic event in Northern Nevada and draws dealers from across the Western US.
Can I get coins graded at a Las Vegas coin show? Yes — the PCGS Trade & Grade Showcase in December at the MGM Grand offers on-site grading services. Some dealers at other shows may also offer submission services through PCGS, NGC, or other grading companies.
