It is with great excitement that the Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) announces that the largest regional roofing event in the United States, the Western Roofing Expo (WRE), will be moving back to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, and the breathtaking MIRAGE will be the host of the event. The WSRCA Board of Directors – along with the support from key exhibitors has decided to relocate the WRE to September 21-23, 2021, at the Mirage-Las Vegas.
WSRCA turned a challenging situation - the World Series of Poker, taking over the Rio in the fall, into a wonderful opportunity – moving the WRE to a new venue back on the popular Las Vegas Strip. The Mirage boasts an 89,000 square foot trade show floor, the largest we have ever held at the expo. The WRE will also offer 24 educational seminars, two keynote luncheons, and the Davis Memorial Foundation’s Welcome Event & Live Auction.
In addition to the new WRE venue, the Davis Memorial Foundation is happy to announce that Bear’s Best Las Vegas, a golf experience that brings together 18 of Jack Nicklaus’ favorite holes into one Las Vegas golf course, will be the host of the Foundation’s Bob Porter Golf Tournament. The popular Sporting Clays tournament will return to the incredible Pro Gun Club. Both events, as well as the Welcome Event & Live Auction, will be held on September 21, 2021 with proceeds going to the Davis Memorial Foundation’s Scholarship Fund.
WSRCA has secured sleeping rooms at the Mirage at a great affordable rate of $148 per night during the most popular time of the year in Las Vegas.
WSRCA President, Leo Ibarra said, “I am very excited that we have the opportunity to have an expo this year. Joel and the staff have done an amazing job battling adversity over the last year to bring you the best Western Roofing Expo possible. I understand that over the past year, we did not get the same networking experiences that we are typically lucky enough to enjoy. With that said, I genuinely cannot wait to see you all in person at the Mirage, as well as at some of the great educational seminars that WSRCA will be providing.”
WSRCA leadership has also decided to move future Western Roofing Expo events to the fall through 2026. Starting in 2022, the WRE will be back to its familiar home – the Paris-Las Vegas.
Future WRE Dates and Locations:
2021: September 21-23 at The Mirage
2022: September 24-26 at the Paris-Las Vegas
2023: September 23-25 at the Paris-Las Vegas

“WSRCA leadership has been nimble throughout the ups and downs that the pandemic has provided, and the association has come out on top of this situation. We are thrilled to have a new and exciting venue for 2021. The Mirage has a larger convention center, which allows us to hold larger crowds in a safer manner. We are really excited to reconnect the roofing community with each other in September at a really beautiful venue,” said WSRCA Executive Director, Joel Viera.
Registration will open on May 1, 2021. For more information regarding the Western Roofing Expo, please visit WSRCA.com.
