Plan Your Transportation
To and From the Airport
Las Vegas will be a busy place May 17 - 20 with a huge music event and countless other conferences. Please plan ahead for transportation to/from the airport.
FEE BASED ON-DEMAND AIRPORT SHUTTLE SERVICE:
The resort has made arrangements with LASxpress for special priced rates to and from McCarran International Airport. Please use the following link to access their website to reserve your personal ground transportation. www.LakeLVAirport.com You MUST reserve your spot before getting into Las Vegas, so please plan accordingly.
TAXI/UBER:
If you are traveling in a small group, it might be more economical to get a taxi or Uber. Check prices online before you arrive. Please note that it may take more than 10 - 15 minutes to get an Uber or taxi when heading back to the airport after the conference has concluded, or if you're planning on visiting The Strip.

LIMO:
While this may not seem like the most practical way to get around, if traveling in a group, it helps keep costs low and is comparable to taking a taxi/Uber! And, you're in Vegas, so why not?!

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
NAPPYTABS: Napoleon and Tabitha D'Umo
Rob Miller - Pro Active Coaching
Rob will be speaking twice at this year's conference. His first presentation, "Power of Your Words" gives us perspective on how a coach's words can either be motivating or destructive. He will also be discussing the "Impact of Trust" and the role that trust plays in the relationships among coaches and athletes, and how it has a tremendous impact on a team's performance.
Karl Mundt - Innovate Dance
Karl will also be featured twice during the 2018 NDCA Conference. First, he will be giving insight on the creative process while choreographing, and then will be sharing his expertise on cultivating mental toughness in order to help dancers perform well under pressure.
Sterling Brown - Growing Leaders
Sterling will be the closing keynote speaker. He plans on discussing the upcoming generations, iY and Z, and giving an in-depth understanding of today's athletes and how to help them reach their potential.
