The Sin City Card Show closes out 2026 with a holiday-season weekend at the Rio Hotel & Casino, tentatively set for Saturday and Sunday, December 12–13, 2026 in the climate-controlled Brasilia Ballroom (confirm the exact dates on the show's Instagram before you travel). December is prime gift-hunting season in the hobby, and the Sin City floor fills with collectors looking for the perfect graded card, vintage rookie, or sealed box to put under the tree — plus dealers offering year-end deals as they clear inventory before the calendar turns. The show's welcoming, low-pressure atmosphere makes it an easy outing for families and first-timers as well as seasoned collectors.
The vendor floor packs more than 150 tables across the entire hobby. Sports dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football across all eras — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer and pre-war tobacco from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. With football and basketball in full swing, expect heavy NFL, college, and NBA inventory alongside deep Raiders, Golden Knights, Aces, and Athletics runs, strong Dodgers and Lakers product, and the UFC and boxing memorabilia that defines the Las Vegas market. TCG tables carry Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs from commons to grails, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and supplies — making it a one-stop shop for hobby holiday gifts.
Doors are expected to open at 10:00 AM PST and run to 5:00 PM PST each day, with dealer setup beginning around 8:00 AM. General admission runs around $15 for the weekend, kids 12 and under enter free with a paying adult, and hourly vendor-donated raffles run both days. There is no separate VIP early-entry tier, so plan to be at the door at 10:00 AM for the freshest inventory.
The Rio Hotel & Casino is located at 3700 W Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103, about a mile west of the Strip with easy access from I-15 and Flamingo Road. The Brasilia Ballroom is fully climate-controlled and parking in the Rio's garage and surface lots is free.
This show fits first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, vintage hunters, and holiday shoppers alike. For the best experience, arrive at door open, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry both a want list and a gift list sorted by sport, player, and TCG title. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case, and save the last ninety minutes for negotiation as dealers cut prices before tear-down and year-end.
