The Las Vegas Reptile Expo returns to Santa Fe Station October 10-11
The Las Vegas Reptile Expo returns to the Santa Fe Station this weekend, October 10-11.
The event includes vendors from all over the West Coast who travel into the expo. You can expect to find chameleons, tortoises, boas, pythons, geckos and just about any kind of reptile our trade has to offer. You’ll also find supply vendors offering food items, enclosures and watering systems.
The Las Vegas Reptile Expo is again teaming up with Jessica Janner from KTNV to raise some money for her favorite charities. Jessica has a heart of gold and is very active in the community. She’s selected Hope for Prisoners – a charity that provides rehab and assimilation services to help prisoners find their way back into society. On Friday’s noon newscast, there will be a chameleon feeding demonstration and a contribution to Hope.
The expo is held in the ballroom at the Santa Fe Station. From the parking garage, take the elevator to the casino floor and find the expo escalator by following the signs to ballroom.
The Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino is located at 4949 N Rancho Dr. Las Vegas Nevada 89130.

VIP passes allow the purchaser access into the show an hour early both Saturday and Sunday. If you are looking to get first choice on a very specific animal, this is a good way to ensure that you skip the lines and get to the animal before someone else does.
Parking is free all weekend at the Santa Fe. If you are staying at the hotel, you won’t need to move your car between Friday night and Sunday evening. Animals are not to be brought into the show by the public. With the Santa Fe Hotel & Casino, we have worked out a “one way rule,” where animals are only to go one way, which is out. Expo attendees are encouraged to leave the property promptly after purchasing any live animals.
