I found some 20 years ago that there is a state law that does not allow dogs (other than service dogs) in the rooms at a "resort". It has been stated before that the Aussie National has been held there, but owners have to agree to leave their dogs in the stalls, and not take them through the casino/hotel area. The Mandalay Bay hosts the SuperZoo trade show each year and there is a large grooming competition held in conjunction. Many people take their service dogs along inside. The grooming dogs have to enter through the back doors of the convention hall. I have seen some dogs in the immediate interior hallways but I have not figured out how they are allowed in. They are few and far between and mostly the toy varieties at that. All the bigger dogs are in/out through the parking lot doorways. Considering that this trade/grooming show is now held during the end of July in Las Vegas (with temps well over 100) it gets interesting. The GSDC of Southern Nevada still exists, though there are just a few members. It's very difficult trying to obtain a park to hold the show, as well as they are basically broke so members have to purchase all the supplies (lunch, drinks, whatever) and donate. It's also very difficult for them to be able to find local judges who draw and then to pay for their expenses. Last I heard, they are considering connecting with one of the all breed clubs to help save money.
