ShudderCon is the world’s largest annual mystery, thriller and suspense convention, with over 50,000 attendees from all over the world converging for four incredible days. This year we are thrilled to be in Sin City itself, Las Vegas, Nevada. And what better home is there for ShudderCon than the Masquerade Hotel and Convention Center?

The sprawling property has been decorated from the casino to the rooftop pool in a deliciously spooky Gothic style. You’ll find rich red velvet upholstery, flickering candles and spider webs – fake, we hope! – in every room and surprises around every corner.

The Costumer

Masquerade is home to the biggest costume shop in the west. Located right off the lobby and featuring thousands of top-of-the-line costumes for rent or purchase, The Costumer is a one-stop shop for all your cosplay needs.

Trick or Treat Bar

No trip to the Masquerade would be complete without a stop in the hotel bar. Known for its creative selection of Halloween-themed drinks, this is a treat you won’t want to miss. Ask Rosa, the bartender, to mix you up a Black and Orange, the bar’s signature drink. Recently featured by the Spirited Sommelier, the Black and Orange invokes the flavors of an orange Tootsie Pop with a little extra kick.

Getting Around

Aside from the vast exhibitor and vendor halls, viewing auditoriums and meeting rooms, Masquerade offers a variety of dining and entertainment options.

Enjoy fine dining at the renowned Samhain Steakhouse, a masked ball every Saturday night in the ballroom, and even wedding services at All Hallow’s Chapel.

Try not to get lost, but if you do, look for the staff in the masquerade masks!
