That I do not know, but the Hilton is across the street from the Convention Center.
When you go in, follow the signs for 'The Star Trek Experience'. It is on the far side of the building. Right below it is Quarks, a bar/restaurant. We generally meet in the smoking section, it is larger and not set up with formal tables.

Becky,
Last year the ladies dressed in evening gowns, slacks, jeans, skirts and miniskirts........I would classify the ARA Gala as "semi" formal, but it IS las Vegas, and it IS a trade show, so wear what you would be comfortable in.

I walked it 2 years ago...took me about 15-20 minutes...but now you can take the automated tram, it drops you off at the convention center/sahara/ and many other hotel/casinos on the strip... its not free.. but a 3 day pass is a heck of a lot cheaper than a cab... if I'm not mistaken, it starts running at like 6am and stops at 1am ish....go to vegas.com and look for a link...
c'ya all out there

And in Vegas, this is considered a short block!

In Texas, we refer to 1/2 mile as "a piece".
A full mile would be "a fair piece" (pronounced "uh far piece").

Went to UCC for a semester and the housing was 1/2 mile from the classes. That's a "piece" by YOUR definition, isn't it? ;-)

Having said this, as I recall (I've only been to Vegas a thousand times), the northern boundary of the HUGE Hilton/Las Vegas Convention Center multi-block acreage is Sahara Rd. (Blvd). The Sahara hotel's backside, so to speak, is on Paradise Rd.
The frontside of the Hilton is on Paradise Rd.
So, the Sahara is kind of across the street from the Hilton, although the actual Hilton hotel is down the street quite aways. And the Convention Center is even further.
The bottomline is they're close, relatively speaking. And although you CAN walk it, you wouldn't want to. Take a cab. Or the Sahara may have a shuttle to the Convention Center.
