Workers install a sign in preparation for International CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015, in Las Vegas. CES is just one of the mega conventions that come to the city every year.

When it comes to cities that host major trade shows, Las Vegas has been at the front of the pack for years.

But could that change?

Rick Velotta with the Las Vegas Review-Journal thinks if the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority doesn’t make good on its promises of expansion, it definitely could.

He recently wrote an article about Las Vegas’s struggle to keep the convention crown - from demand outpacing supply locally and the competition stepping up its game worldwide.
