It’s one of the biggest automotive events in the U.S., with more than 2,000 exhibitors from all over the world, and more than 130,000 people attend the SEMA Show each year. It is an absolute spectacle — an automotive sensory overload: The massive exhibition halls host hundreds of the world’s most creative custom-built cars, jaw-dropping restoration jobs and coolest concept cars.
SEMA Show’s a showstopper
This year the SEMA Show runs from 5 to 8 November. For anyone who works in auto, it’s also a chance to see the industry’s cutting-edge innovations in everything from parts and accessories to tools and technologies—the machines and equipment you’ll be using in the workshop of tomorrow. It’s an incredible opportunity to make connections, create new partnerships, meet new suppliers and stay ahead of emerging trends.
Which is exactly why, each year, dozens of Capricorn Members reach out to Capricorn Travel to ask the team to help them with an itinerary and travel arrangements for this trip of a lifetime.
What happens in Vegas…
Most Members traveling long-haul to the U.S. to attend the event make the most of the trip by planning a once-in-a-lifetime holiday around it.
While in Vegas they’ll take in a couple of shows, like Cirque du Soleil, or see world-class performers like Adele, Katy Perry, Billy Joel, Lionel Ritchie, Shania Twain or Calvin Harris, who all either have regular residencies in “Sin City” or are performing there this November.
Being so close to the Grand Canyon, most Members will at least plan to take a day-trip to see this iconic landscape. The south rim of the canyon is about a 4.5-hour drive from Vegas and the west rim is 2.5 hours. Tours and shuttles visit the canyon daily, but some prefer to hire a car and make the drive themselves.
Route 66 and beyond
Those who hire a car may choose to drive the 4.5 hours to Los Angeles to take in world-famous attractions like Hollywood and it’s Walk of Fame and Santa Monica and its landmark pier. Many will travel up the coast to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge, visit Fisherman’s Wharf, or even take a ferry to Alcatraz Island.
The West Coast landscapes are among the most stunning in the world. Death Valley, Yosemite National Park, Joshua Tree, the Napa and Sonoma valleys are all just waiting to be explored.
