Traveling to the Adobe Summit 2025
Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). The airport is a quick 15-minute drive from the Venetian.
Adobe Summit does not offer direct transportation from the airport to hotels. At Harry Reid International Airport, rideshare pickup spots are designated areas that can be tricky to locate at first. Rather than heading straight outside, follow airport signs to the rideshare zone for an easier experience. Rideshares typically cost around $15–$20 to the Venetian
Tip: Check rideshare prices before heading to the pickup area; during peak hours, a taxi may be a quicker or more affordable option.
Terminal 1: The ride-sharing pickup location is situated on Level 2 of the T1 Parking Garage. From Baggage Claim, take the elevator near Door 2 up to Level 2, cross the pedestrian bridge to the parking garage, and the pickup area is to the right.
Terminal 3: Ride-sharing pickup is located on the Valet Level of the T3 Parking Garage.
Getting Around Vegas
Use Uber/Lyft Over Taxis: Rideshare apps are generally more affordable and convenient, but be sure to check for surge pricing.
Plan for Distances: Vegas blocks are long, so even nearby hotels can take 15–20 minutes to reach on foot.
Monorail & Shuttles: The Las Vegas Monorail and hotel shuttles are convenient for traveling along the Strip and avoiding traffic.
How many people attended the Summit in 2024?
Adobe Summit is a massive event, typically drawing around 12,000 attendees each year.

Explore Vegas while you’re at it
When not immersed in Adobe Summit activities, explore the vibrant entertainment and dining scene of Las Vegas, ensuring a well-rounded experience. There is an ENDLESS supply of Vegas tourism content available on the internet so we’ll focus on the ones around the Venetian that we’ve experienced ourselves.
The Venetian site offers a good sampling of activities. The two activities we’d recommend include Madame Tussauds and the gondola ride (because when was the last time you rode in a gondola?).
When at the Adobe Summit, you can sometimes feel like you never get outside. A short walk from the Venetian is the LINQ Promenade which is an outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment area. The LINQ Promenade offers a nice break to get some fresh air and also includes activities like the High Roller observation wheel and ziplining.
