The doors opened at 10 a.m. yesterday at the Cashman Center in Las Vegas and the two-day trade show kicked off.
There's no question that with twice as much floor space as last year's show and an impressive number of exhibitors, attendees of the 2016 West Coast Rental Rally hit the jackpot. The latest products, services and solutions were on display for all rental industry professionals to see. From dance floors to compact equipment, from GPS tracking systems to tables and chairs, from trailers to digital marketing services ... if it impacts the industry, it's at the Cashman.
The buzz around the show floor was positive from both an attendee and exhibitor standpoint. And with another day of networking ahead, odds are high there will be winners all the way around.
The exhibit hall opens at 9 a.m. today. CRA provides a convenient shuttle service from the Westgate which picks up attendees at the East Tower entrance of the hotel.

It was an exciting night on Wednesday for Rental Rally attendees at the CRA Pub Crawl which took place at the LINQ, an open-air retail, dining and entertainment district on the Las Vegas Strip. It was a cool, but clear night, and the sights and sounds of the strip did not disappoint.
And neither did CRA. With lanyards around their necks, attendees made their way from one restaurant to another (four in all) and were treated to pizza, sliders, tacos and refreshing beverages. Plus, they had the opportunity to ride the High Roller, a 550-foot-tall observation wheel that takes 30 minutes to go round and features 28 glass-enclosed cabins and stunning views of the strip.
CRA certainly knows how to treat its guests. And what a great group the members are to treat. "We love what we do and we enjoy spending time with each other," says Alex DuBose of Rental Guys, Inc.
This group works hard, and after a long day of networking, they earned the right to play hard. The pub crawl was a perfect way to cap off the day.
