LVL UP EXPO is a non-profit annual three-day multi-genre convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada inside the Las Vegas Convention Center. Pronounced "level up expo", it refers to the amount of points needed to advance to the next level on a video game.[1]
Programming
The convention typically offers programming such as voice actor panels, k-pop dance battles, cosplay lip-sync battles, workshops, artist alley, wrestling, autograph sessions, concerts, live performances, an exhibit hall, a fashion show, gaming tournaments, a masquerade, panel discussions, and the retro world series.[2]
After Party
In 2019, LVL UP EXPO held a Red Bull–sponsored After Party at The Hyper X Esports Area inside the Luxor Hotel. The After Party had an age limit of 18+ and offered a free shuttle service from the Las Vegas Convention Center to the Luxor Hotel where the party took place. Attendees received free entry with a LVL UP EXPO badge, and the first 250 people received a complimentary drink ticket.[2]
