Las Vegas widened the competitive gap against rival convention hosts, maintaining its 19 percent market share of the nation's 200 major shows while No. 2 Chicago fell behind.
The Tradeshow Week 200 index for 2004, released Thursday by Tradeshow Week magazine, shows Las Vegas has continued to be the dominant player in the conventions, meetings and trade show industry, hosting 38 of the top 200 shows.
That's the same total it hosted in 2003. Chicago slid to a tie for the No. 2 destination with Orlando, Fla., with 18 major shows compared with 27 a year earlier.
