JCK’s Luxury show plans expansion for 2016
As Luxury Las Vegas moves into newly renovated ballrooms at Mandalay Bay next year, JCK Events will add Prestige and the newly created Luxury Watch section to the show.

Norwalk, Conn.--Next year, JCK Events’ Las Vegas Luxury show will be a little bit bigger.
The show organizer announced Thursday that as Luxury moves into newly renovated ballrooms at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, it will bring Prestige, which before was located on the show floor of the JCK Las Vegas show, along with it.
According to JCK Events, a total of 40 Prestige brands have committed to exhibiting at Luxury next year, including A. Link, Fope Gioielli, Lauren K, Lika Behar, Leo Pizzo Spa and Oscar Heyman.
In addition, JCK Events will introduce a Luxury Watch section to the show in 2016.
JCK Events said the renovated ballrooms will provide an opportunity for brands that might be seeking a larger, highly customized salon. The organizer also said it will continue to grow its retailer community, offering new hosted packages for premiere buyers with exclusive access to suites at the Four Seasons and Delano hotels, as well as amenities for attending retailers such as daily networking breakfasts, keynotes and more.
Luxury is scheduled to take place from May 31 to June 2, 2016, by invitation only, and then will open to all JCK retailers from June 3 to 6, 2015. For more information, visit the Luxury Las Vegas website.
“We are thrilled to be able to meet the demands of the Luxury community with the addition of Prestige to the Luxury family,” said Event Director Sarin Bachmann. “The brands from each group have always been like-minded and of matching caliber, so it’s nice to officially celebrate that synergy and provide even more value and convenience for our retailers.”
