Every January, the world’s biggest tech show takes over Las Vegas—and so do the parties. CES 2026 will draw more than 165,000 people to the Strip, filling every ballroom, rooftop, and lounge with after-hours events that rival the show itself. From industry receptions and media mixers to exclusive invite-only parties, CES week is when business deals meet bottle service and networking lasts long past the expo floor.
