Next Gem Show?

[autumngems]

Is Tucson the next big Gem/Jewelry Show that is happening in Feb?
If so, are there any parts that a non-vendor can go to that are worthwhile?
If not, is Vegas next and are there any parts that non-vendors can go to ?

If anyone has attended, what is closest hotel to Gem Show?

Tucson Gem show is actually around 50 different shows happening over about 2 weeks. Most of the shows locations I circled on the map. Most of the shows are open to the public with the big exceptions being the AGTA and GJX shows. Tucson is a lot more than gems however, some shows are minerals, beads, fossils and all sorts of exotic things. There is a shuttle bus that runs between main shows, I have never used it, so I'm not sure how efficient it is. I rent a car, and do A LOT of walking. Recent years parking at most shows has been $10 and up.
