The March Meeting Venue
We look forward to welcoming you to the March Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 5–10, 2023 at Caesars Forum Convention Center, with the headquarters hotel at Harrah's Las Vegas.
Local Hotels
The March Meeting venue surrounded by hotels on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Our blocks of rooms at the $189 attendee rate is sold out, but our recommended hotels may still have rooms available at regular rates.
Seeking to share a room and save on expenses? APS Members can use Engage to post a discussion thread and coordinate rooming.
Enjoy Las Vegas Safely
For March Meeting 2023, the physics community is taking over the Entertainment Capital of the World. Meeting attendees may be engrossed by mathematical models or quantum mechanics while enjoying the neon-drenched nightlife, the star-studded shows, and the decadent dining.
Perhaps in 2023, APS may even break its tradition of giving casinos record-low earnings, so goes an APS legend. Or maybe physicists, with their exceptional knowledge of probability and statistics, will continue to avoid the gaming tables. Who says that physicists can't be dazzled by both the brilliance of the latest research and the glitter of the Las Vegas Strip?
Stay safe, find travel and dining options, and discover things to do in Vegas
