The Sin City Card Show lands at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on October 17 and 18, 2026, delivering a family-friendly weekend of trading cards under one roof. The promoter's own schedule lists this as the regular October edition, with more than 100 vendor tables and hourly raffles that keep the crowd engaged from open to close. For hobbyists in Southern Nevada, it is one of the most dependable monthly stops on the calendar.
The tables cover just about every corner of the hobby. Sports card dealers stock baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, and UFC cards, from affordable base cards to autographs, numbered parallels, and graded slabs. Trading card game vendors carry Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Super. You will also see sealed wax, supplies, memorabilia, and the occasional vintage find for collectors who like to dig.
Show hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on both Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18. Because the Rio sits just west of the Strip, the show is convenient for visitors staying on the resort corridor as well as for locals driving in from Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. Plan to arrive early on Saturday for the biggest crowd and the best selection.
The hourly raffles are a signature part of the Sin City experience. Throughout the day, organizers draw tickets for prizes, so remember to pick up your entry when you check in and keep an ear out for announcements. Admission for this edition was not confirmed in the sources reviewed, so check the official site or Instagram for ticket pricing and whether kids are free with a paid adult.
The venue is the Rio Hotel & Casino at 3700 W. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103, a full-service resort with restaurants, a casino floor, and plenty of on-site parking. Resort properties along Flamingo Road often charge for parking, so check current policies when you arrive, and consider rideshare if you are staying on the Strip since the Rio is a short ride from most major hotels.
This show is a great fit for families, casual collectors, and first-timers who want a safe, welcoming environment, as the promoter emphasizes a community-event feel. Serious dealers will appreciate the steady foot traffic of a monthly show, and competitive players can find singles for their decks without the crowds of a national convention.
A few tips will make the day smoother. Bring cash and a written want list, and consider a small binder or box for your purchases. Visit the big dealer tables early for the best selection, then walk the back rows for bargains. If you are selling, price your cards ahead of time and have a few sample pieces ready to show. Take a break for lunch at one of the resort restaurants and return in the afternoon, when dealers are often more flexible.
Collectors who follow the show regularly will notice that the promoter runs several dates through the season, including After Hours events at Silverton Casino and regular editions at the Rio in November and December. If the October date does not fit your schedule, you can plan around those later dates.
