• Rolling bags of any size are prohibited including luggage, carry-ons, laptop and computer bags, and rolling luggage carts.

For Media

Media with an official media badge are permitted to hand-carry equipment onto show premises in excess of our two-bag restriction. This equipment is subject to search and tagged as approved for entry. 

For Exhibitors

Exhibitors are permitted to bring product and display material onto CES show premises in excess of our two-bag restriction, beginning Jan. 6 and prior to 8 AM on show days Jan. 7-10.

Exhibitor freight is also subject to search at the advance warehouse marshalling yard and at show venues.

Bag-Check Facilities

We encourage you to leave your bags at your hotel. However, we do offer bag-check facilities:

• LVCC Central Plaza, next to the main registration tent
• Sands Level 1 Lobby
• Venetian Ballroom Foyer

Vehicle Deterrence Measures

As an enhanced security measure, we are implementing a vehicle deterrence plan in and around key venues. Please use the areas allocated as pedestrian walkways as you enter show venues.
