NORWALK, Conn.—Special discount programs and entertainment guides have been developed as part of International Vision Expo West for show attendees and exhibitors as part of the Travel Ease Program, according to show organizers.

“We know that in the current economy everyone is looking to spend their money wisely. The programs we have in place this year for International Vision Expo West provide discounts for travel, lodging and entertainment,” said Tom Loughran, event director for Reed Exhibitions. “We encourage all attendees and exhibitors to take advantage of these offers.”

To ensure the lowest hotel rates, International Vision Expo West’s official travel provider, Travel Technology Group (TTG) continuously monitors all event hotels' rates and will work to further reduce them so that all rooms booked through TTG receive the lowest rates over the dates of the show. Show organizers have negotiated 5 percent discounts for air fare to Las Vegas booked on American Airlines or JetBlue, as well as for Avis rental cars. A 10 percent discount is available on private car service.

Complimentary shuttle buses will be available to and from show hotels and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. On Saturday, Oct. 3, a free shuttle will be available from the Sands Expo and Convention Center to McCarran International Airport from 3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Reimbursement for the Bags-to-Go fee, a service which prints your boarding pass, checks your bags on-site at the show and delivers them to the airport, will also be available.

Affordable Las Vegas and Trendy Las Vegas guides and more info about the Travel Ease programs are available on the show’s Web site, www.visionexpowest.com.
