Being the largest automotive trade event in the USA, the SEMA Show brings together the biggest names and latest innovations in the automotive world every year. Since its start in 1967, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show has grown into the ultimate destination for car enthusiasts, custom builders, and industry professionals.
The SEMA Show 2025 will take over the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) from November 4–7, 2025, transforming the city into the epicenter of car culture. From aftermarket performance parts and custom builds to live demos and after-hours parties, this is where the future of the automotive aftermarket comes alive.

How to Get to SEMA and Find Your Way Around Las Vegas
If you’re heading to the SEMA Show 2025, getting around Las Vegas is easy with a few reliable options. Once you arrive, you’ll mainly rely on public transportation, rideshares, and official SEMA shuttles. These shuttles run from major hotels to the LVCC, starting at 7:00 a.m. and continuing until 10:30 a.m., then again from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (ending at 5:00 p.m. on Friday).
Another quick and scenic route is the Las Vegas Monorail, which runs above city traffic and gets you to the LVCC in about 10 minutes from any connected station.
If you’re already on the LVCC grounds, the Las Vegas Loop offers a fast underground route between halls and key event areas. It’s free, efficient, and helps you save energy for exploring the rest of the show.
