Taking place November 2 - 4, in the Bayside Halls at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, the show will offer pool/spa builders, retailers, service companies, designers and landscape architects a comprehensive preview of the entire backyard living marketplace.
“We worked diligently with the hotels to ensure they offered the lowest possible rate,” said Lindsay Roberts, Director of the Expo. “Attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to make their hotel reservations now to secure their preferred hotel."
The Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino will serve as the headquarter hotel and the site of most APSP meetings and events.

A separate all-suite tower, THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, offers a rate of $189 per night.
